Stepping up the exercise
Jan 31, 2014
I decided it's time to step up the exercise. I've started using the coach to 5k app. I've signed up to run my first 5k the end of March. I'm writing my goal to hold myself accountable. Here we go!
Stalling and confused!

Return to work
Jan 08, 2014
My first week back at work has been semi difficult. I find myself extremely tired in the afternoon. I want to exercise but I don't know when or how I will get it done. I'm getting the correct amount of protein but I'm not getting my water intake. When I was home I made sure to drink every hour, well I can't do that at work. I look up and hours have passed without anything to drink.......#weightlossproblems
Planning
Dec 25, 2013
I love OH forums....the small town I live in does not have support groups and I do not feel like driving a hour and a half just to attend one. So I read and find encouragement through various post and the other members response. I made it through the holidays and I will return back to work on Jan. 6,2014. I am so concerned about my eating schedule and my work schedule. I'm trying to be proactive and plan ahead........hopefully I will find some suggestion.
Almost 1 mt post op
Dec 22, 2013
I cannot believe its been a month already. I had a moment of sadness because I wanted a large glass of juice and was unable to have it. As the sadness grow I went to the OH message board and begin to read comments from individuals that felt like me and the replays of encouragement flowed it. I was reminded that I have to give my stomach time to heal. It will not always be as restrictive as it is now. But I am going to focus on my goal.
Post op journey
Dec 03, 2013
I had my VSG surgery on 11/26/13. Today, I am 7 day post-op. My recovery has been going very well. I'm up to 55 daily grams of protein. The target goal is 75. I'm up to 26 oz of liquid per day. The target goal is 48oz. I have a ways to go but I keep telling myself one day at a time. It was the tortoise that won the race not the hare. Lol.
This site as been such a wonderful help.

#letsdoit
I am still on this journey.......
Sep 22, 2013
I'm searching for medical records that will show my BMW at 40 or greater. I have struggled with this weight issue for 22 years but I never thought the few momentary diet success would cause me trouble. ......I got some good advice.....so I'm going to keep moving forward.
the journey continues---Insurance??
Sep 15, 2013
My appointments were going well. however i did not get a clearance from the pulmonologist. Therefore i had to do a home sleep study, to determine if i have sleep apnea.. I'm concerned about getting this approval from Aetna. I'm doing the three month weight program, now but i also found that some of my medical records show me at a lower weight which makes my bmi below 40.
Any suggestions or tips that can help me not be denied by the insurance.
