 On August 9th, 2011 Dr. Mitchel Roslin handed me a new life. I had Duodenal Switch surgery. I've lost over 160lbs, I'm happy and feel great! I would recommend this to anyone who has been struggling with obesity for a long time. I'm excited to see where life leads me now. Can't wait to become healthier and stronger, and get back on track to becoming a competitive dressage rider. 

When I tell people about my WLS they automatically assume it's because I hate who I am. I want to put it out there that I love the person I am, I hate the body that I'm stuck in.  I'm doing this surgery out of love for myself, not hatred. And anyone who thinks I'm taking the easy way out...hahaha bite me. 

 Even though I'm pre-op, I still drink protein shakes every day. As a former high school athlete I know the importance of protein, especially in the morning. As a person with Adult ADHD I also know the importance of Coffee, since without it I would never be able to focus. So i know that there are already recipes for this, but i put together a coffee protein shake this morning and I'm going to share it :)

1. Brewed 8oz of coffee (I have a kurig so it makes single servings)
2. 1 Scoop of GNC Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein Powder (chocolate) in my blender bottle with metal ball
3. Add coffee to blender bottle
4. Add Lactaid Free Skim Plus (11 grams of Protein in 1 cup)
5. Add crushed ice so that it gets cold
6. SHAKE!

No splenda or any sweetener needed, it tastes like an iced mocha from starbucks
