Topic: Back to Basics - Day 14

I am doing pretty well.  I have removed almost all the carbs from my diet.  Shut down all the snacking and grazing.

 

AND DROPPED 10 LBS of my 30 lb regain.

 

So 20 to go...

adding in some moderate exercise.  Fast walking for 30 minutes a day for at least 3 to 4 times a week.

 

I'll check back in, in another week.

28 weeks post op

down 3 lbs this week to 195.8 (glad to have stayed the same as before I went away)

Happy 1st Day of November everyone! Roz, I hop all is well with your DH!  Well I had a great weekend away but I am happy to have slept in my own bed last night and get back into a routine.  Road trips are not as fun/easy when you can't just pull into any fast food joint you see!  I did have my cooler packed with good snacks and such but that gets a little boring.

Anyway, back at it today.  Going to be unseasonably warm so a great day to get out for a walk at lunch.  I have an assignment due on Monday so I really need to get working on it, I'm just so not interested.

Here's the plan

B - 1 egg, 1 slice cheese

S - 1/2 lrg Wendy's chili (leftover from said road trip)

L - 4 oz meatloaf

S - 2 deli turkey and a hunk of cheese (probably more cheese than I should eat, thanks to the American packaging, may only eat half)

D - shepperds pie

S - premier protein

Total Cal - 1017, Carbs 45, Protein 110

Did 3.2 kms at lunch!  That's only about 4500 steps, so I will have to get out for another walk this evening!.

Hope you're all having a great day!

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

Stayed the same right around 124. I'd love to see it lower since my shape is changing due to sitting all day at work....got to get one of those stand-up desks.

Topic: RE: Introduction and questions
Really it's not been bad. I don't have any sudden sense of urgency except in the morning. I had the DS so I typically go to the bathroom 2 or 3 times in a row (back to back BMs) in the morning and that's about it. Pre WLS I was having 5 to 8 BMs a day...I guess that came with eating 6000 calories a day or whatever have you....but I really do not go to the bathroom anymore now than I did...unless of course I eat Tuna with Mayo. Have no idea why that combo gives me the SHARTS...but it does! I can eat tuna (in those flavor pouches), I can eat mayo on sandwiches, but if I combine tuna and mayo...I better plan to stay close to home!

I think you'll be better off looking on other websites for the answer ot your specific question. This site is not too active- i'm sure there must be surgery support forums for people that want to have their gall bladder removed.

Hi Scott,

Exactly my thoughts on this! I am sure many people kept it and have been fine. I would be keen to hear from VSGers who had some stones but chose not to remove the GB. How has it been for you?

Thanks
