Too Much Sugar !
Apr 04, 2010
So - I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow and am feeling good - my scales say I'm down to 260 from 299 which is awesome ! Am going to the gym 5 days a week, getting in my water and protein on most days and feeling like I have some more energy - though I still need a nap in the daytime.I went out for a drink with hubbie on the weekend and chose a LF chocolate shake - I only drank about 1 inch of the drink which tasted great - but soon after I was regretting it as I had what I think was a sugar rush. OMG - I was so ill - I went white, got hot and clammy, felt like I was going to pass out and was all sweaty. I only just made it home before having to lie down til I felt better. Guess I will pass on that next time !
Am beginning to feel like I can do normal things with my pals now - I can go out for a coffee and manage a small weak latte, I can go out for breakfast (ok I only have 3 forkfuls of scrambled egg - but that's ok), I can go out for lunch or dinner and enjoy soup. I know this will get easier once I get onto real food rather than mushies !
Nutrition wise - I'm thinking more along the lines of food as fuel, which is new for me. I'm making better choices - always thinking about what would give me more protein as my first option and as I was always a big fan of Atkins then I don't think this will be an issue going forward.
Have just discovered BariatricTV.com as well which is a fun way of learning new hints and tips.
Onwards and Downwards
