I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted anything. The weight loss has been slow since my surgery on May 13th. I've lost a total of 43 pounds which sounds good until I realize that almost 20 of that was lost in the first week. I thought some of my pains would be better by now but that is not happening either. I'm having terrible pains in my upper back and tailbone areas. The upper back issues are probably bra related since those girls are refusing to go away like I had hoped. The tailbone I have no clue why that's hurting as it never did when I was thin. I'm having issues with sagging skin all ready which is disappointing. I don't want to have plastics if I can help it. I'm afraid to have any more surgeries after my experience this time around. It's kind of strange how things have been since having this surgery. I was prepared to wake up from surgery and have problems with getting fluids in right away and eating and it never happened. I woke up in the hospital and took a big drink of water before I could think about it - nothing happened. I've only thrown up twice. I can't eat or drink like I used to but it's not near the restriction I thought it would be. I can eat a large chili from Wendy's in a half hour with no problems. The only thing that has changed drastically is the amount of fluids I drink. I can only get in one slimfast and two bottles of water a day. I'm at less than 1000 cals a day and around 60 to 70 grams of protein.
