I am 7 weeks post-op now!
Dec 29, 2010
I have lost a total of 62 pounds. 50 since the surgery. I am feeling quite a bit better and havent vomitted in at least a week. I have learned quantity and, although I sometimes miss taking and swallowing a big huge bite, I manage to take tiny bites and chew it fairly slowly. Very chewed food just doesnt taste too great it seems! Then again it seems I dont like the taste of too many things nowadays. I know that may eventually get better but right now, once I eat something a time or two, I have no desire to eat it again. My menu is slowly dwindling. I am hoping it will get better soon! I have no tolerance for protein drinks or milk. Cheese, which WAS my favorite food, no longer tastes good and I dont like the consistency. I CAN eat peanut butter with a cracker. PB and crackers actually seems to settle my stomach and I actually like the taste! I do know, however, it isnt the best option nutritionally! I am working on that! Everything is a learning experience!I can say that although I weigh 287 pounds I feel much better than I did at 349! My pants are super baggy and I fit into everything in my closet...that is it fits or is too big! Its weird feeling baggy clothes...It has been a really long time since that has happened. At Christmas I got some gift certificates for clother. I bought a size 22 pant an a 2x shirt (saved the rest). I figured I needed something to test my size...once they fit the weight loss will seem real. I have trouble believing the scale because the number keeps changing so quickly! I know it will slow down as my weight drops but right now it is amazing to me!
I have no regrets at all! Back to work on Monday! Am actually looking forward to it! Thinking working as a Nurse will be so much better lighter! We will see!
