Like many folks, I keep my vitamins in the kitchen. Hand place to grab a glass of water when taking them. Many also keep them in the bathroom for pretty much the same reason. Making taking their supplements part of their daily routine.
But according to this article from smartplanet.com based on a Purdue study, you may want to move your stuff outta there… cause moisture could be making your supplements less effective.
When you have been morbidly obese most of your life, and you are starting the journey towards WLS or maybe you’re a fresh post-op, one of the heaviest things on your mind is exercise. (forgive the pun or no, I’m sticking with it!)
I’m eleven months out and my regular exercise includes bout 35-40 minutes of a walking/jogging combo. Typically a rotation of 3-4 minutes of walking followed by 1-2 minutes of jogging.
That’s huge. (yea, another size pun…)
A bit about my progress at 11-months out, and look for news to come on a Minneapolis Meet & Greet this summer, the weekend of July 23.
Protein, protein, protein. That’s one of the key mantras for a WLS post-op. Getting enough protein is a constant battle, and especially the first year or so it can be hard to do by eating alone.
Enter, the protein powder.
Finding a protein powder you like is key. If you don’t like it, you won’t use it. I tried a variety of stuff, found some I liked a lot, some I thought were ok, and some that were just plain nasty. Then I found trueprotein.com and discovered their unflavored, unsweetened, cross-flow microfiltered whey isolate protein. It’s been the only protein powder I have bought for the last four months now.
I like the fact that I don’t need to have a bunch of flavors around, I use this for everything from adding to my morning oatmeal to baking in to protein bars. Like I said, if you find one you like, buy it, but maybe give this one a shot, and if you do… I can get you 5% off your order.
