Down 50
Feb 05, 2009
Hi Everyone. I lost 48 1/2 and stayed there for 1 1/2 weeks. I thought the scale was obsessed. It wouldn't move. Finally I lost 1 1/2 and that totals 50 pounds since the week before surgery. I am doing OK. No major problems yet. I wasn't doing great with getting in enough protein but I am working on that now and have been getting approx. 60 grams a day. Drinking water is still a problem. I used to love water and drank it all day long but now the water is not going down right. I make hot tea and that is OK. I drink water without ice and it is still not right. Feels like a rock going down. Soup is great but meats aren't too good. Meats feel like rocks too. I can eat deli turkey and chicken. I use Akins shakes for breakfast and try to eat protein filled goods during the day and then at night depending how much protein I need I will have a protein hot coco or a 1/2 bullet over crushed (snow) ice. I do the ice in my food processer and then pour 1/2 the bullet over the ice and then add some sf flavorings like vanilla or coconut. I found some great adult gummie vitamins called The Slice of Life. They sell them at the Vitamin Shoppe. They come in multi and then in certain other vitamins. I like them. They are a treat. I went to my first support group on the south side of town. I had a great time meeting everyone. I can't wait to the next meeting. I am still not working out b/c I had surgery on my toe and I have to wear a surgical boot and can't do any walking or anything. I can't wait to get it off my foot. I am going to have to buy a couple of pants to wear to work. Maybe this weekend. I need some to get by. All my clothes are very big now. I thought I would be wearing my skirts and dresses at this point but I can't with the foot and all.
