Quest Protein Bars – Where have you been all my life?

OMG – for the first time, ever, I tasted a protein bar that is absolutely delicious. What is even harder to believe is that it is low in sugar, high in fiber, low in calories and has no artificial sweeteners. I fully expected the Quest Coconut Cashew bar to taste […]

Back to Work – Bad Idea at 2 weeks out

I personally should have waited an extra week. By the time I get up and shower and get dressed, I am so pooped I have to climb back in bed. I am only working till noon each day – and even that is just so hard. I think I am […]

I think I am going to try to use the treadmill today!

I am going to take advantage of the fact that I feel like I have more energy and see if I can walk on the treadmill for a bit. My goal is going to be half an hour. I may not make it that long – but I am going […]

First check in at the doctor

I had my one week check in yesterday – down 16 pounds – and everything is looking good. I am going back to work on Monday, part time. I am too exhausted to make it a whole day – just showering wears me out at this point. Which, on 400 […]

Day 8 Post Op – Am I starting to feel human again?

OMG…I think I went an entire few hours today without feeling cranky/uncomfortable/exhausted/miserable and I could really get used to this. This is giving me hope that there could be a serious uptick in my future.  I don’t want to get too excited, but I rather desperately needed a break from […]

Tracking – very important

I realize every day how important it is to log every bite you take to make sure you meet your requirements. So far the easiest way I have found is myfitnesspal – they track all your protein, sugar, sodium, etc. So, every day I can make sure I hit my […]

Down 14 pounds…Day 7 post op

All the suffering is paying off, although I will be honest and say that I have never been less excited about losing 14 pounds. I am still pretty exhausted and uncomfortable, but determined to keep going.  I got to start pureed foods and am in heaven. Pureed peaches, albacore tuna, […]

Today is the first day I had any energy to type…6th day post-op

So, Amanda got her butt handed to her. While I knew gastric bypass was going to be hard and painful, I was unprepared for the part where a mere walk from the couch to the dining table makes me feel like I need a nap. Things I wish I knew […]
