I am getting back on track!

Hello my friends!
Things are moving along really nice. I am down 20 lbs since my revision. I have been exercising 2 to 3 times a week and so far this time around I am enjoying it.
I found two giveaways this week. Once ends today so if you want to check it out you better head over there soon. Head on over to Christina's blog and check it out!
Also Shelly aka Eggface has a wonderful give away going on too.
I never win these thing but you maybe lucky enough to win. Just let them know I sent ya ok!

I also wanted to share this recipe with you today. It is crust-less Zucchini pie. I made it last night and it is soooo yummy. I got it from Skinnytaste.com

Crust-less Summer Zucchini Pie

A simple savory pie made with summer zucchini, shallots, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. If you're looking for a tasty way to use up your summer zucchini, this is it!

It makes a wonderful side dish to any meal or serve it at a potluck or brunch.

To make shredding the zucchini easier,  just throw it in the food processor. You'll want to put the zucchini in a cheese cloth and give it a good squeeze to take out all the moisture.

I made it through the week

Well, it is Friday and I made it though the week at work. I was able to set up an eating schedule and pretty much stick to it. Also I got to start pureed foods on Thursday. It was so wonderful. LOL Actually I had been looking forward to Shelly's Baked Ricotta I just love that stuff and so easy to make. With it being so hot here in Georgia (Plus my downstairs AC is on the fritz), I was able to just nuke it.

On a sad note. My Aunt Barnetta passed on Thursday. It was a very sad day for me. She was going to be down here next week to help me prepare to move in to my new place. Her death was so unexpected. I am glad she is now with my Mom and her sisters in heaven.

Well that is it for the day. Have a great weekend.

Oh and do not forget to leave me a comment.

Back to work and Shelly's Giveaway

Happy Sunday Everyone!
Well tomorrow I am headed back to work after my 2 week medical vacation. I am a little nervous about this as I need to make sure I get in all my full fluids.
So far I have my protein and water pack. In the fridge I have my pudding, soup, jello, and milk.
I will also resume my rip class (weight lifting to music) and Tuesday resume my Zumba class. I am excited about that!
Have you been to Shelly's blog lately? Well if not you need to go over there she has a new giveaway going on. Check it out and tell her that I sent you!

Delicious! Want to give it a try? It's GIVEAWAY TIME at The World According to Eggface

The Prize (3 winners): a 28 oz. Chike Blender Bottle Shaker and 5 single serve packets of Chike Iced Coffee. A delicious way to get your protein in on those hot summer days. You can shake it up with milk or water in your blender bottle or toss it in a blender with ice to make a yummy protein frappuccino-style drink.

Hello! Long time no me. I know. I just got really frustrated. All that up and down, with more up's than downs.
After going back and forth with my doctor I went and had a revision done to my RNY-BYPASS. I am happy to report that I am down 12 lbs!! yea me right!
Well, I have been on clear liquids for 2 weeks, and I am now on full liquids. I must say this is almost like the orginal bypass procedure as I can not get much down. Which is a good thing. For Breakfast today I made a 4 ounce protein shake. I could only get 2 ounces down before I was full! I have add at least 3 ounces of water in, which I must improve. I should be getting down at least 64 oz a day this week. It is so hard as I am sure if you have gone though weight loss surgery you know that!
For lunch I am attempting to have 3 oz of creamy cream of potato soup, with a sugar free Popsicle. The soup is sooo yummy LOL.

If anyone out there is reading this blog please let me know you are there. I want to know if the outside world is reading this. Also let me know if I can help you with your own weight loss journey.

I will try to post more often than a few months at a time. Beside if I know someone out there is reading my blog it will make it easier.
