2 months post-op!!!

Aug 03, 2015

2 months post op and doing great! I've lost 54 lbs, and a total of 53 inches over my whole body! My BMI is down about 17 points and I'm feeling great! I love all the little things I can do now, like not use a seat belt extender and fit in most chairs without having to squeeze my butt in or fear of breaking them. I have more energy then I did (although my knees and back are hurting more because I'm moving more) and I'm sleeping better. The thing I'm struggling with the most is getting enough protein. I need to find some unflavored whey protein powder to help boost my protein intake. I'm tired of my shakes, and I'm tired of eating only soft proteins. I get to add veggies to my diet on Aug 16th, and I can't wait. I'm also having quite a bit of constipation, and have to take stool softeners and miralax and still struggle. I've been trying to increase my fluid intake, but the more I drink the less I can eat. It's difficult but manageable. I figure I'll get the swing of things eventually. I'm going to the beach with my family for my birthday (aug 7th) and I can't wait. I've lost 95 lbs since the last time I saw my dad and brother, and hope they notice a change! :-) For the first time, I can look at pictures and see a change myself. It's so exciting!!
