3 month Update...Holy crap!

Mar 05, 2011

Geez.... I can't believe I haven't updated this blog in almost 3 months...shame on me!  :>)  Well, as of 3 months post-op I am down 50lbs from surgery and including the 21 lb loss pre-surgery I'm down a total of 71 lbs!!  HW 353 and currently I'm at 282.  I started in size 30/32 tops or 4x's and now I'm down to 26-28 (I wear mine on the loose side!) and my pants were 32s and I'm down to 26s.  Even my boobs have shrunk - I have extra room in my DDDs...time to go down to the DD! John said I better not loose any more or instead of a breast lift I'll be getting some implants too! Men!!

My scar is healing well.  It's still pink but it's not gross and I've starting putting silicone pads on it which is suppose to help the healing and minimize the scarring.  My abs still hurt - especially where the drain holes were.  It's still slightly uncomfortable for me to sleep on my side but I suck it up!

I'm still unable to do lactose so when I want to drink milk or eat soft cheeses I take Lactaid Pills.  Because of the Lactose Intolerance I also can't do any type of whey protein shake.  I've tried egg protein but it's too salty.  I'm hoping that the further out I get I can start drinking shakes...it's a struggle to get in over 100g of protein daily just with the food. 

I struggle daily to get my vitamins in.  I'm very busy at work and I tend to forget to take them and then try to shove them all in at the end of the night which probably isn't truly working since you should take them at different times...I've started setting my cell phone timers to go off every hour so I can remember to take my vites.  If there is one thing that I MUST not fuck up - this is it!!! 

I haven't begun really exercising yet.  I know my weight loss will increase once I begin and I really need to start.  I have a treadmill and the Wii Fit and I bought a bicycle and now I just need to get off my ass and just do it.  I've used tons of excuses but it's time to put those away and put the words into action.  Next time I post an update I hope to be able to tell you I love exercise...hahaha...yeah right!!!

I haven't found much food I can't eat.  I can't do wheat gluten or the whey.  I think the most frustrating part is eating something one day and then the very next day my tummy says F U and I have to throw it up.  I haven't had to throw up due to eating to fast or eating to much in over a month so I think I've finally figured that part out.  KEY - use a shrimp fork and a baby spoon to eat - it really does help!

I'm going to be going to CA to see Dr.Keshishian in June for my 6 month follow up.  I'm going to try to lose another 30 lbs by then so that I won't have to buy a 2nd airplane seat.  I have to remember this is a marathon - not a sprint - so slow and steady wins the race. 

Let you know how the next 90 days goes....well, in 90 days!  :>)  Peace and love, Peace and love!
