To answer a few different questions....

I'm 5'7

I lost 13lbs on the preop diet before my surgery.

I have followed the food guidelines a lot! I listen to my body and really push the Protein. I drink about 80oz of Water per day. I go to the gym 3 times per week, do yoga 2 times per week and I walk at least a mile EVERY day!

An average day for me food wise:

Breakfast - a low carb Carnation Instant Breakfast packet mixed into 1 cup of 2% Fairlife milk.

Mid morning snack - a handful of roasted almonds

lunch - 1/2 cup of chicken fried rice (with carrots, peas and scrambled egg whites)

Afternoon snack: 1 Colby jack cheese stick

Dinner: small piece of grilled/pan seared Ahi tuna, green Beans and sautéed squash

Sometimes I have 3-5 Nilla wafers for dessert.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
