One month post-op

Hey everyone I haven't checked in for a while but I am here to share today. Yesterday was my one month and in that time I have lost 39lbs  7lbs are pre-op(2 wks before surgery) but I still count them. I still have to update my measurements and will post them in a blog. I have been sick with allergies and what might be a cold or flu for almost 3 weeks so the weight loss has slowed somewhat. I had to take some antibiotics for a throat and tonsil infection but today I am feeling better. I still have not felt hungry and eating is most definitely and a chore most of the time. My doc wants me at 1100 cal and 100gm protein. If I really concentrate on eating and feel like I'm full all day I still can only get under 600 cal and maybe 60 gm protein. I still have not found a protein supplement that I can handle so that is not good. Other then being sick I am so happy. This was a great decision and I wish I would have done it years ago.

Congrats on your surgery and your success so far.  Hope you continue to heal and feel better.

You go!

Hugs,
Barb

Hey there,

Congrats ...those are wonderful stats.  My cousin had the sleeve done and she is already at goal, and has had plastics already.  I am so proud of her.  You are on your way, and just wait till next year at this time...I bet you will be posting triple digits if you have that much to lose.

Again keep it up....wow moments are coming right up.

Hugs, Diane
