So today and tomorrow will be my last two fundamentals classes (it was a two week program that got extended because the storm knocked out the town's power for almost a week). I have enjoyed them a...
So we had a huge windstorm which knocked out the power for my and other neighboring towns, so I actually didn't get my first class until last night.
Pretttttty sure I did about 4 million squats.
...
Thanks everyone for the insight and advice. My first class is Monday, so here's to hoping...I...don't pass out or something. o.O
Oh, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because of how much I love to cook and bake. I'm making a ridiculous amount of food for the family as usual: roast turkey, gravy, sugar free cranberry...
I'm almost two years out and I have still have days where if I get too busy I'll go all day without remembering to eat. When I do feel hunger, it still takes less than 8 ounces of food to satisfy me....
I went to an intro session at the CrossFit near my house, and really liked the idea. I decided to sign up for a few fundamentals classes to see if CrossFit is really for me. I really love strength...
I use Torani sugar free syrup in my coffee and I believe that's Splenda, so I think I use a bit everyday and I'm fine. I use brown sugar splenda when I feel like making a yummy barbecue sauce too.
I had a sf latte the day before surgery, but after that I didn't have caffeine, especially coffee, for a few months while I let myself recover and tested out what I could and couldn't tolerate...
Totally normal! I took some meds to have my period before surgery, and my coordinator laughed and said "...welllll, you'll probably get your period right after surgery anyways; it's a pretty common...
I took two weeks off, but I recovered quickly and could have gone back to work after one week.
I definitely can't eat an entire slice of cake at this stage, but if I'm feeling it I won't deny myself a few bites shared with my husband or kids. That's the big thing is if I feel like a treat...
I ate really low protein in the beginning months and got used to avoiding most carbs, but I run 25+ miles per week now and unfortunately I really can't ignore carbs and still be healthy. I'm not a...
Increasing fluids and increasing my movement has seriously helped me a lot. I get to pop a squat (yeah, I wrote it!) everyday since I started hydrating more and walking or running everyday. In the...
I used a heating pad on my shoulder where the gas pains were worst. I also used another one against my ribs and left side incisions for when I was wanting to lean on my left side to be more...
I've been tracking from the beginning, but now it's to make sure I get enough to eat and enough nutrients, especially since I have become a "bariathlete". It's hard to not feel uncomfortable when I...
After a few months I started drinking coffee again, and I have a cup or two a day. I rarely have an alcoholic beverage, and when I do it's non carbonated and I take a while to drink it. I haven't had...
I didn't bring a heating pad to the hospital, but after surgery when I said I might be more comfortable sleeping with one, a nurse brought me a heating pad right away. It really did help.
Oh, I did actually think of something that is physically the worst part for me. I've lost so much weight that I have no fat "cushion" for my tailbone and it hurts to sit on hard surfaces...or sit...
I've used Splenda in my iced tea and coffee without issue. I've used brown sugar splenda for BBQ sauce and other dishes calling for brown sugar too. I've also used the odd bit of honey, and when we...
The basic heartburn in the beginning and the big throat/chest pain when I ate too fast in the beginning (only took one episode of that to remind me to slow down!) were the worst physical things.
...
I rarely get hiccups, but it is only when I eat a bit too fast; my hiccups hurt so I am trying to make sure I still eat slowly. I still have lots of noises coming out of my belly; it's especially...
My bariatric coordinator said Premier Protein was one of the only protein shake sources that seemed to have no issues when mixed into hot coffee and such. In fact, my mom and dad use vanilla Premier...
I got dizziness and vertigo for a bit awhile after my surgery. It turns out that eating really cleanly and exercising regularly was causing me to deplete my sodium levels. Once I started monitoring...
I wondered why I couldn't even look at the last page of the first Menu thread!
B: cup of coffee with reduced fat Fairlife milk & S'Mores SF Torani syrup, and a while later overnight protein oats...
