Surgery December 22nd 2009

Jan 05, 2010

So I got down to 237lbs from 255lbs prior to surgery. Since surgery I'm down to 224. I can't believe the pace of weight loss! I don't even know if I'm on track with most people but I'm pretty happy. I've only got another 60 or so pounds to go and I think that's doable within the year. So I'm excited!

The surgery was uneventful. I woke up in a little bit of pain but they gave me meds and I was fine. I walked like crazy in the hospital and came home on time. I've been doing well at home though not tracking everything as strictly as I should be. I guess I figure that right now I'm sip sip sipping and barely allowed to eat anything so as long as I'm getting my water and protein I'm not worrying about anything else. When I start puree I'll be diligent about logging my food choices. There are only so many calories in jello, pudding, yogurt, milk, and protein drinks. Other than water that's all that's going in so I'm good.

Next week I'll probably go back to work some. I know it's before the 4 week mark, but I just can't stay home any longer. I'm bored out of my skull, feel full of energy, and am going to be a broke fool if I don't get back to work. I nanny triplets and am missing them.

Protein Drink of Today:

8oz. Skim Milk 8g Protein
4oz. Water
Syntrax Chocolate Truffle 23g Protein
In the blender bottle with 3 ice cubes
2 tbsp of PB2 5g Protein

All shaken together for a whopping 36grams of protein! I add the water because pookie the pouch doesn't tolerate thick protein drinks but seems ok with thinner ones. Plus it just adds to my liquid consumption for the day! :)
