Has it really been 7 weeks? (pics)

Hi Everybody!!
I am 7 weeks post-op today!!  Wow!!  My highest weight was 311.  My surgery weight was 296.  and today 7 weeks out my weight is...drum roll pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!  262!!

I am 49 down from my highest weight and 34 down from surgery!!

My only real issue right now is CONSTIPATION!!  OMG, I just can't get a handle on this regularity thing.  Ex lax doesn't really work anymore.  I'm taking Fiber, stool softners, laxatives, I've got the magnesium in my Calcium...nothing seems to be really working!!  Advice, if you've got it please!!

I'm also not really interested in food.  That's a good thing right???   I'm eating to count protein...for no other reason.  Last night for dinner I had a turkey deli slice with a piece of cheese inside...bon apetit!

The only thing I'm keeping track of is fluid and Protein.  I get AT LEAST 48 oz of fluid a day, max being around 60 oz.  I get AT LEAST 60g of protein a day, max being around 80.  I don't really count calories because I know my daily intake is around 400-500 everyday. 

Hope everyone is rocking their sleeve's today!!

Thank you!!  I'm bringin' sexy back!!!  lol  

 Hey girl… Look at that waist… woowoo!!!
I had/have the constipation thing as well. The only thing that seems to have helped is adding more water and fish oil and least its not like a painful experience but still no walk in the park. You look great and if I could poo for you… I so would!
Hugs and great job girl!

Thanks girl!!  Jeso Christmas I already feel like I'm drinking all flippin day!!  lol  I guess I'll try to ramp that up because this situation is not fun.  And if you could poo for me...I would so let you...lol

Thanks and I see you're rocking that sleeve too!!

All I can say is WOW!!! You look amazing.  I am still struggling through my first week post-op, not really with pain but with getting protein in.  I can't waite to be you!  Congratulations!!!!!!

Thank you!! The first week is hard but it definitely gets better hon!!  Protein was impossible for me back then and it took me a while to find a protein I could actually stand.  Do the best that you can! You'll be at 7 weeks before you know it!

You look amazing. Keep up the good work and keep rockin' that sleeve!

Thanks girl!! 

You're looking good! As far as constipation goes I know all about it, once you start to getting all your fluids you should be a little regular. I also try to add just a little veggies and fruit to my diet and that helps me out too.
