Hey there, bloggers, just a note to let you know how I am doing. Last November 2014 I had gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana Mexico by the excellent Dr. Michel at Obesity Not 4 Me.
So far, I have lost 47 pounds. For me, this is great. Compared to my male relatives who had the same surgery, I have lost much slower than them. Go figure. What it is, Porkchop!
Here is Dr. Michel's info, if you're interested. It's much cheaper in Mexico, and several of my aunts, uncles, and cousins had the gastric sleeve with much success. It is less invasive than the gastric bypass (Roue-n-y) and the lap band surgeries. In fact, it was all done by laproscopy and I was out of the hospital the next day!

Shannah's diet update again
Howdy, Friends!
Well, I've lost 20 pounds so far, in 14 weeks. Traveling set me back a little over the summer, but I didn't quit and give up.
I'm back on track and still losing weight. My weight loss chart each week looks like the stock market, up-down-up-down, but with a continual downward trend, woo hoo!
The method I'm using is found in my blog: http://shannahsweightlossvideodiary.blogspot.com/2013/06/getting-back-on-wagon-of-weight-loss-ugh.html
My children's books for early reading the right way are at:

Shannah's dieting blog update
Hey Friends,
Just an update on my diet. I have lost 16 lbs so far.
My favorite snacks are avocados, olives, and string cheese. Baby carrots are good, too!
Almonds, avocados, and olives all have the good fats in them that help you release belly fat. You have to have good fats for your hormones to work properly for all your body processes.
One of the big mistakes people make is to eliminate all fats. Don't get rid of them, just eat the right kinds.
And of course, I still have to watch my portion control. I can't each the whole bag of almonds, just a handful.
One avocado is good. I eat the whole can of olives, which I probably shouldn't.
Also, if I'm extra hungry, I eat a little more beef. Beef is a negative-calorie food. It takes more energy (calories) to digest it than it contains, and the protein is a great hunger-killer.
Ta ta for now.

Getting back on the wagon of weight loss - ugh
Okay, you guys, I fell off the wagon of weight loss a while back, and it's time to get back on!
Here is what I have been doing, because I can't afford lap band surgery, I can't afford Slim-4-Life, and I can't afford all of these special programs.
But I also can't afford to continue to gain weight!
So, on my own, this is my diet:
Breakfast - 2 hard boiled eggs with a little lite salt (has potassium for your heart), and a glass of milk.
Snacks: an orange and 2 sticks of string cheese, spaced apart a little.
Lunch - a can of Progresso or Campbell's soup, the kind that are ready to eat, no water added, not creamy. They are about 250 calories or less for the whole can, and are packed full of veggies, vitamins, and a little protein.
Snacks: anything 100 calories or less that doesn't have a lot of carbs, like a piece of fresh fruit, raw veggies, cottage cheese, a can of green beans, a can of tuna, etc.
Dinner - Meat and veggies, cooked this time. I drink water or milk only. Butter is not my enemy; it keeps hormones healthy, has protein and calcium, but just a little. It has to be real butter.
If I have a salad, I like to sprinkle it with a little lite salt and/or salsa. No more ranch or bleu cheese dressing for this girl!
Never eat margarine or spreads. Real butter only.
If I feel like my blood sugar is too low and my head is foggy, I will have 1 small dum-dum sucker or 1 life saver. It gets the body's Krebs cycle going.
Drink lots of water all day. I just keep a bottle near me always.
I have to do this for at least a year. It is a major life change.
So far, I have lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks.
For me it helps to have a known routine without a lot of guesswork. I don't need variety, I need to know what to do easily.
OFF the list are complex carbs and starches, as well as simple sugars:
No bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, etc., except for what little bit is in the lunch soups.
Supplements: daily vitamins with iron, calcium (Citracal), extra D, fiber gummy, and Protandim (removes toxins, antioxidant, NRF2-activator).
Ta ta for now.

Why does eating healthier cost so much?
Why does eating healthier cost so much? Fresh fruits and vegetables cost so much more than their canned and boxed versions. And they don't stay fresh long enough. It is very frustrating to spend so much and then have to throw some of it away.
I am glad for Protandim to offset the imbalance.

Everyone should be taking Protandim
You’ve got to take another look at this stuff, Protandim. It is the first NRF-2 activator out there, and is all natural. The studies and data on it are ridiculous. Don’t take my word for it, look at the data. Over 20 universities are studying Protandim on different diseases because of its amazing affect on reducing oxidative stress in cells and organs.
Dr. Joe McCord’s amazing scientific medical breakthrough is shown on the ABC Primetime Investigative report here:
http://www.mylifevantage.com/shannahbgodfrey/default.aspx
After watching the video, read the peer-reviewed data on Protandim. To read the peer-reviewed journal articles, click on the products tab, go to dietary supplement, Protandim, and click on ‘more’ button, and several peer-reviewed journal articles on medical clinical results are listed at the side and bottom.
The other thing that surprised me was the list of diseases that Protandim prevents or treats, as reported by the government in Protandim’s third patent. If you’d like to see that, I can send it to you. It was developed over 35 years of research for the purpose of reversing aging (oxidative stress) in the body, but the medical trials and studies surprised the researching doctors by how this affects everything else.
Just go take an honest look. I am out to educate as many people as possible about it. Let me know what you think after you research the data.

Fell off the diet wagon
Hey, Girlfriends,
I fell off my diet wagon, a long, hard fall. It started when I started HCG drops. Maybe the injections are better. The drops just made me feel hungry, like I was pregnant and eating for two, I mean voraciously hungry. Ravenously hungry. But the drops were a gift from my daughter, so I finished them all, thinking it would get better. Nope. My carb addiction is back.
My next attempt is to vounteer for medical studies on obesity. I have applied to Quintiles in Kansas City, MO, for a weight reduction study. We'll see if they accept me. I auditioned for The Biggest Loser on TV, but haven't heard anything from them.
I need help! I can't seem to stay on anything longer than 3 months at a time, and this body is going to take more than 3 months to get slim. Dang! Then of course, there's the depression cycle when nothing matters any more (probably my brain's limbic system sabotaging myself).
