What to eat.....

Jul 04, 2010

Went for my 3 month post-op on Thursday and ended up having a very long day of medical stops. Post-Op check up went great, I'm on track for my weight loss--58lbs in 3 months I forgot to have my bloodwork done before the appointment, so I did that after my nutrition appointment. I realized when I met with the nutritionist that I have not been branching out in the food department. She was like, have you tried this, what about this?? and my answer was no. I'm not trying new stuff and mostly sticking to my greek yogurt, milk and cheese and of course struggling with my fluids. So meeting with the nutritionist made me realize that I NEED to start eating more and start trying new things. We're supposed to be eating approx. 1200 calories and I know I'm not even coming close to that--probably half that and with the lack of fluids that's why the scale is moving sooooo slowly, so I'm getting back on track--again...it's so easy to not eat or drink, but I'm doing damage to myself, so I'm holding myself accountable, I didn't have this surgery to feel worse.

Back to my long medical day. Due to my crazy attacks the week before, the doc wanted me to have an abdominal ultrasound to check my gallbladder. I thought they were just gonna do the gallbladder, but they checked my liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas and gallbladder--talk about thorough. Got my results on Friday and thankfully everything checked out fine--so I'm thinking my attacks were digestive/gas issues. I'm back to eating more solid foods and thankfully so far so good. I had peanut butter for the first time yesterday and it went down good. Living on my decaf iced coffee, it's the best and I get a big one so I get my fluids in. I swear anyone who says that WLS is the easy way out is a total moron b/c it's so not easy!!! now we have to worry about getting in enough food and drink instead of gorging ourselves!! talk about the flip side of things!
