Day 24

Mar 01, 2012

Things are going pretty well. Thank goodness for this forum and all of the insights. I am down 31 lbs overall. Since my preop in January. I gained six while I was in the hospital lost that plus 11lbs so 17 since surgery. I was starting to get a little nuts with the scale as I had not lost anything over the weekend. The dreaded three week stall has arrived it appears. So I promised myself I would do the once a week thing. Tomorrow is weigh day. I have been pretty good at increasing my fluids by 500ml to 1 litre (32oz)  this week to help... We will see how it goes.

My main go to food high protein has been cottage cheese, love chicken broth with an egg in it and sugar free popsicles. At one point a week ago I thought my sleeve was way too big as I could drink 1.5-2 cups of broth no problem. This week on more solid food I know that is not the case. Made a scrambled egg for supper with 2 tbsp cottage cheese on top but could only eat half.

Premier Protein is my all time favorite protein drink. The BariWise Creamy Cappuccino is great as well. I am not cleared for meat for a couple of more days. Although will admit I have snuck a couple of bites of ham and jerky but that is it. When my head hunger got to me ... for a couple of items I caved in. Such as KD made a box the other night when I would normally eat the whole box maybe two. I prepared it in all its cheesy glory with salsa and was able to eat three bites. Got it out of my system and when my tummy said no and I didn't want it any more. Learning new stuff everyday and trying to be patient. It took 20 years to put this weight on, I know its not going to disappear overnight but I really want it to.
