Nine Weeks Post Op
Aug 24, 2011
8/24/11 - Just past nine weeks post op: Forgot to tape myself this week so will do that in the morning and come back and edit it to this post, but as of yesterday morning, I have lost 55.4 lbs. Have had so much going on have not done much more exercise than walking at the store. My toe that I thought may have been broken is still tender, but I think I can finally start some slow workouts. We will see. Just getting in there and doing it!! Need motivation!! ha haI should have re-read my previous posts first because I cannot remember what I put in them.....So at 9 wks I have only gotten sick twice. Both times were eating too fast and/or not chewing well enough. That was early on when I started eating "real" food again. Have learned my lesson and have had no major issues since. Some days I truly despise eating meat. I enjoy my veggies, but force that meat in to get my protein. My Dr would prefer 3-squares a day, but I have a hard time trying to get 20+ g of meat in at one time. Some meals I can mix in other proteins so it isn't all meat, sometimes I can't. Some days I can eat one thing and it taste fine and the next day (really more like next week or a few days later) can try to eat the same thing and it just doesn't taste good to me. Cannot do breads whatsoever. Which is part of the whole point I guess, but I can no longer stand hamburgers or pizza cause the toppings or meat just doesn't have the same appeal by itself. I know this is a good thing to keep me from falling back into eating that way...just sucks. I have no problems whatsoever with overeating. I don't know when you start feeling true hunger/fullness again, but I have only fealt hungry once and realized late in the day I hadn't eaten all day but had drank water. Feeling full isn't hard to do at all. Doesn't take much.
My aunt has been bugging me to send her more updated pics. I had just posted (and sent her) my 6 wks post-op pics so may wait another week or two to update my pics again.
Vitamins: I took them like clockwork before and after surgery. Now suddenly can't stand my chewable multi's or Vit C vitamins. The multis are the Bariatric Adv. ones so not huge, so started just swallowing them and do ok with that but really hate it. May give those to my older girls to take and just go to the regular pill. I lay out my daily vitamins in a weeks worth pill box but my Bariatric Adv. calcium is huge and wont fit in there so keep forgetting to take my calcium so need to get on that and use up the last of those so I can start taking the pill of that as well. So not doing horribly bad on getting them taken, but could do much better!
