44days post op

Jan 20, 2011

Today is day 44 post op and I am down 30 lbs from surgery date.  I went from a 26 on date of surgery (my highest was 4x 28.) to a loose fitting 24 and some 22s if there is stretch( LOVE THE STRETCH).   I am supposed to advance regular bariatric living diet as it's called on the 21st of this month and I gotta say I am a bit worried.. The transitioning parts of the diet have not been kind to me.  My stomach revolts at the texxture changes.   I can have burger now but no even softer cooked beef chiken has to be darn near ground before I chew it so it appears that i have to transition a bit slower.  I have had 5 episodes of vomiting since my surgery all during times of food changes. BLAH.  On a bright note I am exercising on average of 5 times a week and started taking some classes at the gym.  I love the aerobic classess at Gold's.  The body step one kicked my arse and burned some serious calories!! Boy was I sore  the next day.  Last night my friend and I did the bodyjam which has weights incorporated:  lots of lunges arms abs etc  not as sweaty as the step class but it was fun and I feel it today.  Going to try Zumba on friday and am excited about it  looks like fun.  If you aren't exercising please start!  It helps with weight loss and toning and reay can be fun esp if u have an exercise buddy.  Ta Ta...
