New PIcs added and update!

January 16, 2004

Hi everyone. I just added my 8 week post op pics to my southernangels

album. For the last 3 weeks I have been on a major plateau. I havent

been getting my protein in because EVERYTHING I try makes me sick.

But yesterday I found MYOPLEX?? and its actually pretty good. Its

like 25 grams of protein per 11 ounces. I also ordered MORE samples

from bariatriceating.com and will try those when I get them. I know

the protein plays a big part in the weight loss but EVERYTHING I try

as far as shakes or bars comes right back up. Im on my second Myoplex

drink (one last night and one this morning) and so far so good so I

am keeping my fingers crossed. I told my hubby now that I found one I

seeem to be able to tolerate someone is gonna tell me its not good

for me or something...LOL My first mini goal was to be under 300..I

started at 365 and I am now to 303..So HOPEFULLY the protein will get

stuff started back up. I am excercising pretty regularly now. I say

pretty because my 3 yr old daughter and I have been sick so I have

missed a day here or there. I am up to 20 minutes on the exercise

bike and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Then I come home and do about

20 minutes of arm exercises with the arm weights and stuff...

Well just wanted to update everyone. Sorry I havent been responding

or posting but with my daughter and I sick its been pretty hectic

around here. Hope everyone is doing fine.

Congrats to everyone.

GOod luck to those who are having surgery soon.
