My post-break up life

Mar 09, 2018

I lost 21 pounds in my first month post surgery.  I have lost 88 pounds total since I started the surgical weight loss program in July.  It is certainly not easy. Some days I have no problem getting my 60 grams of protien in and other days it is a real struggle.  I am trying to expand my protien menu because a girl needs variety.  My surgeon says that I can start adding veggies, but I am putting protein first!!  

My in-laws came to visit from Germany 2 weeks ago, so I have had the additional struggle of trying to explain what I can and can not eat and explaining why I can or can not eat that.  They do not think I eat enough and I will admit to them it is weird to see someone eating 2-3 ounces of food.  The visit also meant a lot of eating out at restaurants and while I tried a couple of times by having my daughter order a protien I could eat and taking a couple of bites. Most of the times, I ended up drinking water and eating when I got home. 

I love that I am never hungry right now.  I basically have to say it is 1:00 PM, I need to eat some thing for lunch. I have also learned that I need to listen to my self.  I have alredy had the I had one bite too many pain.  I now just throw away the one or two bites left when my body has that feeling that it has had enough.  

Constipation is a real thing!!  I am still trying to figure how to deal with this! My surgeon did not feel concerned about it.  I know that it is not dehydration because I am getting in my water.

One other thing I noticed is that I get tired much easier, but I am working through that too.
