Monday 7/16 was my 3 mos post op anniversary.. i have lost anohter couple of pounds since last week but i will find out how much for sure tonite. I have my 3 mos follow-up appt tonite. I will update my weight-loss tracker later. 
I got sick a couple times in the last week but for a few weeks beofre that i was doing pretty well.. My brain still likes the idea of food, but once i start eating i ususally realize "i hate food".

Wednesday was exactly 3 mos since my presurg testing day where i was at my highest weight. I was very happy when before going to the support group meetinf i weighed in & was down over 50 pounds. I am hoping to knock a few more off before next wed 7/18 because thats when i have my 3 mos post op check up appt. My official 3 mos anniversary is 7/16. I am really excited! I know i dont eat all the right things or exerise enough & im hoping to start working on that a bit more. Either way though im feeling & looking much better!

So i was only down like 32 pounds one month after surg.. i ugess thats not bad.. now i am down about 36 maybe a little more. Sometimes it feels like im losing it really slow. I will be 2 mos out on 7/16.. im hoping to lose anohter 5 pounds by then . That would be nice!

So yesterday was one month since my surgery. I definitely am starting to see a difference. I weighed myself at home & it seems that i am down about 35 pounds total. I will find out what the surgeons scale says next wed. I am hoping to knock off another 5 pounds before then. I will update agin after that appt.

I am tryin hard to eat better & more slowly. I am still at the point where id just rather not eat at all. Unfortunately i have no choice.. cause ya know ppl kinda need to eat to live. I just find it hard to be interested in anything that im actually "allowed" to eat. Im dying for a salad believe it or not. But my stomach & intestines are just not ready for that ruffage yet. I hope soon.

I have discovered that i no longer really like cheddar cheese ( this is a good thing) & i would rather eat cold foods than hot. I get a little hungry sometimes but it passes quickly. Next wed will be one month since my surg. I am down between 25-30 pounds.. i can see it in my face & in my tummy area but it still doesnt seem like enough so far. I hope to start losing more quickly so i better start walking more & drinking more water.

Anyone with any helpful hints or suggestions  please let me know.

I have had a litle trouble with the solid foods. I think i went a little overboard in my excitement & atrted eatiung things that i really shouldnt. Each time i do that i wind up also eating too much or too fast. I have gotten sick a couple of times with nausea & a couple times with terrible pains. ... but im still learning to adjust. My next "weigh in" with my surgeon isnt for anohter two weeks but in this past week i believe that i have lost another 6 or 7 pounds. Its going slower than i would like but its mostly my own fault. I dont walk enough & ate some things that are not good. Im trying to correct that now. Hopefully ill be down at least 20 from my last weigh in when i go to my next appt.

I had another follow up with my surgeon yesterday & lost another 8 pounds in a weeks time. Im also now allowed to start eating solid foods but have to stick with things that are kinda mushy like tuna salad & the like. Its nice to be able to eat something other than yogurt & soup.

So down a total of 23 pounds.. still have a ways to go. My incision is healing but there is a spot near the bottom that looks a little infected. The surgeon said to keep an eye on it & it may have to be drained. Other than that all is well. Ill see him again in 3 wks & then the next week will be back to work.

So today i had my 1st f/u with my surgeon. He said i am healing well & i should sitll stay on full liquids though i can add cream of wheat & oatmeal.. how exciting! lol

Also i weighed in & am down 9 pounds from the morning of surg but actually from the date of my presurg testing only 6 days before the surg ( so that would be exactly 2 wks ago today) i am down 15 pounds. So i guess 15 punds in 2 wks is great.

He said i am retaining some water & should watch the sodium in the soups im eating.  

I wound up not feeling to well today.. not going into much details but my stomach was definitely off & think im prolly down another few pounds after today :)

 

I have another f/u next wed 5/2 & then that night at 6pm -8pm there is a support meeting where amongsdt other things a nutritionist will be speaking.. any one who wants to join me let me know & ill give you the info.
