Have joined my spouse on their 2-month bariatric diet and the weight is coming off again, yay!

QOTD: I've never had any typing instruction, but I am in fact a touch typist. 10-key as well, freaks out my cow-orkers whenever I use the 10-key to enter data in a spreadsheet, my keyboard is really clickity-clackity and loud.

Weird thing is, it's exactly like when I play the piano... I know -- rather, my fingers know -- when I've made an error without looking (or hearing it), and I automatically hit the backspace button and retype it correctly.

B: 3 oz. cottage cheese

S: protein shake

L: 4 oz. shredded chicken from the instant pot

S: hard boiled egg with hot sauce and a little pepper

D: teriyaki chicken bowl with some vegetables (way-early dinner before rehearsal)

LS: 3 oz. cottage cheese (late snack after getting home)

E: 10 minute walk

Water/Vits: 140 oz water, vits on track

QOTD: I never took typing classes, but did take 1 semester of keyboarding class. Many years later I honed my skills in AOL chat rooms! After all the papers I had to write in college, I often look like Stevie Wonder at the keyboard, my head thrown back, swaying back and forth as I compose letters and notes in my brain and let them flow out through the keyboard. I don't have to look at all...

AM: SF Hazelnut White Chocolate Mocha

B: 2 Strawberry L&F yogurt

L: Chicken Breast, Cottage Cheese, hummus

S: strawberry & cream PP

D: Pumpkin Ravioli...

Water & Meds, not so much vites

Revision on 02/19/18

I type about 130 wpm with both hands and as many fingers as I can use. We were fortunate to have an IBM at home since I was 3 years old, so I learned to type 35+ years ago the old school way, heh.

Preparing for my revision to the RNY on the 19th and been on liquids since Monday. Things go well thus far. Monday morning I was half asleep and, while half asleep, ate an egg and almost gave myself my Saxenda shot before I realized it wasn't Sunday...it was Monday, sigh. The surgeon didn't care remotely and called me "neurotically compliant." >.> Honestly the two week liquid diet is a relief, since I actually don't feel like eating much because the GERD is painful. It sure makes it much easier to follow compared to when I had the VSG.

We'll see how the rest of the two weeks goes. I can't believe I waited so long to get the revision. I sure am tired of stupid GERD.

M1: 20g Premiere clear drink.

M2: 28g scoop unflavored whey in unsweetened decaf green tea.

M3: 20g premiere clear drink.

M4: 15g protein water clear drink.

35oz of broth as well, and of course plain water (20-30 oz) etc.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
