There are two educations...

There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live. - John Adams

I decided that if I was going to keep track of my food intake, take the correct vitamins, and protein intake that I should do it the right way.

Which is my friends how I ended up at the most amazing place on earth-- Bariatric Eating. I am lucky enough that I live only a forty-five minute drive and was able to go there and taste test a wide variety of protein drinks, vitamins and food. I was also lucky enough to meet the owner who shared her inspiration and way of life with me. And the two women working one nine days out of the sleeve and the other six years out of RNY were so helpful and enjoyed discussion their ups and downs. In the end I walked out with Bariatric Advantage Complete Multi Chew in Berry, BariatricAdvatages B12 Sublingual, Journey Bariatric Calcium Capsule, Journey Bariatric Iron Capsule, BELIEVE Protein Energy Drink in Mocha Latte, Cytosport Watermelon and Tangerine and Zilch Sugar Free Daquari Mix.

Being healthy has always been important, obviously since I had this surgery. But now that the adult world is becoming real, it seems like I cannot leave the dorms fast enough. I'm looking forward to moving into an apartment with a real kitchen, a supportive and ready to eat what I cook boyfriend, and a gym on property. Life just keeps looking up. I need to be on my toes for this summer job (crazy teenagers), for graduate school, for a career, for my family and for the rest of my life. So tomorrow I shall start this new regimine and move on to a more energetic, protein filled life.

Peace. Love. & BariatricEating
