2 months and 5 days post op and 51lbs lost!
Jul 27, 2013
Well I'm 2 months and 5 days post op and down 51lbs! I should be pretty excited but not feeling so much because I'll go 2-3 weeks and only lose 3lbs then lose 5 in a week. I've been very busy with family activities. Really trying to concentrate on getting my water protein and vitamins in.
Went on vacation and had a hard time getting anything down. Everything I ate plugged me up and I had to get it up and out or be miserable. I've learned it's very difficult fo me to eat around others because it seems everyone is in a rush.I'm always the last to finish and my food is usually cold before I'm done. When eating out I try to eat the soup and salad. Soup's the easiest thing to eat. Beef, white meat chicken, pasta and of of course bread are the most difficult things for me to get down. I don't have a problem with foods making me nauseaus so much as getting stuck.
I have experienced dumping once. Was craving some frozen yogurt. Could not find sugar free anywhere. Drove to 3 different places 12 miles apart looking. Finally I decided on vanilla and ordered about 1/4 cup. I savored it the whole way home but by the time we pulled in the drive about 20 minutes later I was feeling queesy, clammy and had stomache cramps which of course ended up in diarhea. I haven't done that again.
All in all I feel like I'm doing really well. I'm going to the gym 3-4 days a week, having a protein shake a couple times a day to get in my protein, drinking about 48-60 oz of water a day and taking my vitamins. The most difficult thing is my iron. It's a liquid and horrible.I may have to find another. I'm looking into the Celebrate vitamins at the moment. I also need to find a good calcium citrate vitamin as the one I'm taking is not as absorbable. Guess that's it for now.
