Post op plateau
Jun 16, 2011
So, I am in the middle of my first post op plateau at only almost 4 weeks out. In fact, I have even gained weight. The only thing that I can think is that I put on some muscle mass because I have stayed well within my calorie range for the most part. I do seem to be having inches coming off, however, so that is encouraging. I need to really concentrate on getting my protein in because I have SUCKED at doing that. I have also sucked at making sure I take my vitamins. This weeks challenge has been finding out when I am full, vomiting when I am too full, and what kinds of food my pouch will allow me to eat. Also, I am trying to get past the worry about "what if the surgery fails?" especially since I am in the midst of a plateau. It scares me to think of the surgery failing and me failing. Terrifies me in fact.
