3 months post op!
Dec 27, 2010
Unbelievable how time flies. It's already 3 months that i had my RNY. I am very thankful that I haven't had any complications thus far from the surgery. I am able to tolerate more types of food compared to last month. I am no longer dumping anymore from eating too fast and too much at one time. I am getting useto reading my body when i am starting to get too full. It is still tough though to chew chew chew and chew x20. Still some bad habits to get passed.I am able to wear a size 18 pants which fits lose, which means I might be able to squeeze into a size 16! Maybe next month I will go try on some jeans. I had a great Xmas. I didn't feel food deprived in the least. I am getting useto eating the small portions of food I have to eat now. My mom made tamales for Xmas. For dinner I was able to eat a small cheese tamale, which made me feel like I had eaten 3! Which is what i was useto eating preop. I am still not able to tolerate any type of meat. I was able to do tuna and chicken early out however, now it just sits to heavy in my new stomach. So for protein I drinking a protein drink and eating cold cuts. Fortunately I can do cold cuts. I can eat 3 inch turkey breast subway sandwich. I usually have the inside of the bread removed, and ask for fat free mustard . I can't tolerate tomatoes too well, so I get everything in my subway except for tomatoes, cucumbers and banana peppers. I only eat subway about once a week to get my sandwich fix. Sometimes for lunch I have trader joe's whole wheat crackers with low fat provolone cheese and turkey breast. I make them into a cracker sandwich and it taste good and it fills me up.
This month I lost 7 lbs which I am pleased with considering I made it through the holidays. Total weight loss since surgery 45 lbs! Not too shabby.
I started a new job last month which of course with the added stress of starting a new job I got my period twice last month. That completely threw me off since I had gotten useto knowing when I could expect to be bloated and have no weight loss however, now I have to readjust to a whole new menstrual cycle. Oh well hopefully next month I will see double digits!
I will post updated photos. I am terrible at taking pics of myself. I wish I could be like others that take photos of themselves daily. lol Anyways until next time.
