Good-Bye
Apr 15, 2012
wow, it's been a long time since I blogged anything...oh well here goes,So I started my optifast shakes March 5th, my weight was 339lbs. I got through the 3 weeks of shakes with, and I can honestly say..NO CHEATING! Surgery was Monday, March 26th. I weighed in at 315 according to my scale, and 310 according to the Vic's scale. All went well for the most part, I was in recovery a lil longer than normal due to the morphine made me really sick and once they made the connection and stopped giving it to me i stopped getting sick. i thought for sure i was gonna blow my baby pouch~ finally made it up to my room, slept most of the afternoon and early evening away, got up to pee and walk a small bit late evening. By morning i was walking , peeing and ready to go..lol
So my hubby picked me up around 5ish, took me home. First 2 nights i slept in the recliner, but by thursday night i was sleeping in my own bed again. I was walking and sipping, not much pain, I didn't take any pain meds after wednesday. Thought i was doing really well, til the 2weeks out I got sick and back on fluids! I will be honest and say I was pushing my pouch, i was eating things i really had no business eating yet, mashed potatoes, salmon...yea so i paid for my mistake thinking i was ready and could eat it. I've been aching to get back to the gym but don't wanna push it. I'm getting in at least 2 protein shakes a day (30g each shake), i eat greek yogurt...the key lime is my absolute fav!!! , i've been eating soups and drinking water and juice, teas and i have had a lil bit of coffee which seems to be ok. I've had fruit smoothies from both McDonalds and Tims and they both seem to be ok with my pouch. I am tired alot, I feel like my midnigt oil is burnt out and done by 830 most nights...lol but I am doing good and can't wait to see Laura and Dr.Vergis for follow ups!
Today is April 16th, I am 3 weeks out and since I started my shakes March 5th I have lost 42lbs!! I weighed in this morning and GOOD-BYE 300's!!! I am 297lbs!!! I don't remember the last time I saw a 2 in the beginning of my weight...WOW I'm still blown away..lol
