2 weeks out - and 30lbs down

Jan 09, 2012

Post Surgery - DAY 12:  So this weight loss is crazy....I'm currently down 30 lbs from my pre surgery, pre liquid diet weight.  I lost 7 lbs prior to surgery and now have lost another 23 lbs.   CRAZY!  My recovery is going steady although my stamina is down.  Walking up a flight of stairs or simple house cleaning tasks take my breath away (literally).  I continue to feel fine and am walking Wellington - my old english sheep dog - for about 15 minutes a day.   Each day I try to add "1 more house" to our walk to stretch myself but also not to push too hard.  Weirdly, I still feel super fat... so I think this fat girl in my head will be my struggle.  I also have been unable to stomach protein shakes since surgery.  It's just too much liquid....so I've cheated on my liquid diet by adding lean proteins (chicken & turkey) and that seems to be working fine.  It feels a bit premature to be eating those proteins but otherwise I just don't eat anything.  I'm stull struggling with water - And I LOVE Water -  due to me not being able to tolerated liquids. Evening routine is try to get 16 oz down before bed.  Cheers!  More to come after my 2 week check up with Dr. Voellinger on Wednesday.
