11 Weeks Post Op ~ and feeling Great

Jan 24, 2011

Wow... Its so hard to believe that today marks my 11 weeks post op. With my highest weight being 298 mid-2009, I joined the Kaiser program in 2/10 and weighed in at 286. Today, i'm 11 weeks post op and down to 220. It feels great having lost 78 lbs.

I am having a hard time with meat of any kind. The only thing that seems to go down is ground turkey meat when its either in cabbage rolls or chili. Because of that, I have managed to convert to almost a full vegan. I will be purchasing my first juicer this week also. My difficulty with meat makes it hard for me to get my protein. I have become lactose intollerant. I can't drink milk or eat yogurt of any kind. I have learned that my stomach is very sensitive ~ although there are some things I love like Vegetarin Pizza w/ gluten free crust ~ :-) 

I have been able to stomach some sugars which is nice. I even snuck a Hershey's Kiss one night and felt fine, although I felt so guilty afterwards I won't be doing that again. I have not been exercising like I should, and it is my hope that within the next week i'll get into a gym and start that process. I think that's why my weight has stalled out. At first I was losing between 5-6 lbs per week and now i'm down to 2-3. It kind of stinks and is a bit discouraging. I'm going to keep on going though and keep working hard.
