Wow, I can't believe it will be one month ago (well just about) that I had my VSG! It's been a roller coaster for sure. One minute I'm excited that the scale seems to be magically moving down and the next I'm grouchy and weepy and can't believe I've done this to myself. It has helped that I've been able to eat and drink a bit more easily in the past few days.
I am still nowhere near where i should be with protein even though I am meticulous about what I am choosing to eat. It seems I can't get past about 20 g per day and about 300 calories. So tomorrow I am going to go back to supplementing for a while. I ordered some Chike and so far it's very drinkable and if you mix it with milk it's 40 g of protein. I just need to get the protein in so I can have some energy and keep up with my life. Fluids are hard to but I am getting 30-40 oz in a day so it's not too bad.
People are beginning to notice my weight loss (27 lbs since surgery!). Today I met for a playdate with some moms from school and they were shocked. Kind of a nice reaction but I was a bit embarrassed by the attention.
So all in all life is good but I think I need a while longer before I can say I LOVE my sleeve but I have to admit - it's growing on me!
