No Title  

Posted by Tami in ,

I'm too tired to say anything meaningful, but I'll do a real update tomorrow.

Two simple things:

1 - I walked again today, 28 minutes.  I'm not sure I know who this crazy lady is that keeps going for long walks (for me, 5 minutes is a long walk) but I guess she's cool.

2 - I'll write about it more in depth tomorrow, but I think I found my possible weight loss surgeon.  For now, if you have time / interest, go peruse this document he wrote re: food / diet post WLS (weight loss surgery), specifically for banding patients (which I would be).

Oy vey, my life will change.  I can't really think about it right now.  Too tired, kind of overwhelmed.

Never having fried food, or chocolate, or ice cream, or drinking from a straw, ever?  Eek.  My mind must change.

wow - that's really not much food. I understand the small portions right after surgery, but you're expected to only eat 3 meals of a few tablespoons for the rest of your life? I don't understand how that would be enough food once you are at a healthy weight. Especially if you are working out.

Good on you. Keep up the walking. It makes you feel so good, doesn't it?

Have a lovely weekend. x

i followed the link and was reading at some of the things you need to start doing-- wow! it's a lot. But it's not impossible. Most healthy people already do most of those things. When it comes time to pick out your protein and vitamin/mineral supplements, Daryn can help if you want. He is really knowledgeable about what brands are best, what bars supplements should be held too, and can give you all the ins and outs and whys too. He also has a lot of web sources to get them for cheap. Your doc will probably have recommendations but if you want some more info, or more options, let me know. Docs usually recommend the company that has most recently bought them a steak dinner :)
