2 Months Post Op

Jul 21, 2011

 It seem like its been forever since I posted anything, and I intended to blog every moment of my journey but life kicks in and here it is over a month later.   This has been the most incredible thing I have ever done.  Sometimes its hard for me to comprehend that I did the surgery and how fast the weight has come off.  I'm anticipating the plateaus to come but for right now I'm loving it.  As of today I'm down 47 lbs.  I have my 2 month  post op with Blackstone on Monday and I'm hoping to get off those last 3 lbs so I can be at an even 50.  I have however found out that "meat" I could take it or leave it.  I think its just because its so much effort to eat it and I really haven't found any meat I truly like.  I have to make myself eat it and then supplement with protein shakes and bars to get somewhere near my 60-80 grams. The other thing I struggle with is fluid. I forget to drink, and then at the end of the day I'm trying to cram all my water in and then I pee all night! LOL!  I did find I'm able to drink pretty normally instead of the sip, sip think which made it seem like forever to get a bottle of water down.  I started lifting some weights and working my arms and chest, next will be to work the cardio in.  Oh how I wish I lived somewhere where the weather was at least still nice in the mornings.  It will be a long time before I will be able to get outside, summers are long here in AZ.
