One month and change Post Op

Aug 07, 2010

 So here it's is, Aug. 7 already. I am one month and a week post op.  I had my one month visit with Dr. Suh on Thursday and he said my weight loss looks good. From Oct. until now I have lost 54lbs. From surgery until now it's 38 lbs. Not bad, but I would have liked it to be a little more. My scale and my doctors scale is a little off so that's based off the doc scale. 

I was moved onto the next stage of the plan and can now eat fruits (no grapes), veggies, chicken, crab, shrimp and a few other fishy stuff. I still need to get tested for this fish allergy. I had a bad reaction to shell fish and besides tuna, I won't eat anymore fishy stuff. 

I recently ordered a bunch of sample packets of protein flavors. Two from click, which I was sad to find out Doc says "No, it has to much sugar". So I'm not going to be able to use those anytime soon. Told hubby he should try them so they don't go to waste. I also ordered the start kit from Unjury. I've tried their strawberry sorbet and it's not to bad. I mixed it with milk a banana and ice. Not a real big fan of it, mostly because I hate anything thats a strawberry powder. I also tried their chocolate with a banana, not bad and chocolate with SF english toffee syrup and that's YUM.. This morning I tried vanilla with SF root beer and wasn't a fan at all. Blending it made it foamy. I was able to get one swallow down, bu when I took the next it make me throw up. Just to foamy for me. However, I tried it again but instead of blending it I put it in my click container and shook it. No foam...but still not the best tasting. 

I still have quite a bit of testing out my syrups to do since I have a ton of them. I am hoping to find something thats just really good. I am going to try and get my hands on some Nectar protein. I think I need a little juice type instead of the chocolate/vanilla. Hmm wonder if thats why I have this need to drink apple juice all the time.


I didn't take photos the day of surgery like most people do and I really regret it. But I did find a couple photos that were taken a week or two before surgery and I posted them. Hubby took some photos of me a couple of days ago and I posted those as well. Hoping they will help me see the difference in my weight as I go.
