4 Weeks Post-Op - MAJOR WARNING

Today I am 4 weeks post op and down 15 pounds since surgery and 39 total. I lost 1 whopping pound this last week. I was expecting it (thanks to this site), so I wasn't too upset.   I have been going to the gym a lot the last couple of weeks. It feels great to workout, enjoy it, and push myself. There is NO way I could do as much or as long as I have been at the weight I used to be. That is the best reward ever!   Tuesday, 3 weeks 1 day post op- I was sitting in a chair and picking up my 4 m

Lesson Learned- Sliming/Vomiting (My gross story)

I had my post op appointment today at exactly 3 weeks out. It was really nice to hear them tell me how great I was looking and that I was doing everything right!   Unfortunately, on my trup home, we stopped at Arby's and I got a Ham and Cheddar sandwich. I took the bottom bun off and began eating. I think I was too hungry and probably ate to fast... also, I might have not chewed it good enough... or it could be the fact that I had bread... Not sure what exactly, but all the sudden I got EXCRUC

Questions Answered About My Diet

Since I had such great results at my weigh-in on Monday, I decided to weigh myself again on Tuesday... gained a pound (almost). In hopes of seeing the scale go back down, I weighed myself again on Wednesday... gained another pound (almost). Starting to worry, I weighed myself again today... gained ANOTHER pound (almost)   In 3 days I GAINED almost 3 pounds! WHAT THE!?!   I was seriously concerned that maybe I was doing something wrong so I called my bariatric doctor's office and spoke with t

Weighing In

I weighed myself again today just for the fun of it... NOT a good idea. I gained a pound and now today I want to eat anything and everything.... of course I'm not doing that, but I WANT TO! I'm trying not to get down about "gaining." I hope it disappears and takes some more weight with it!   I'm still trying to exercise more, but am having a hard time just making myself do it. I don't know what my problem is... Any recommendations to get my butt in gear?!

2 Weeks Post-Op Update

I am 2 weeks post-op today. I'm feeling pretty good. I am starting to want to try new foods, but am scared to. I will wait until next week when I see my doctor for my post-op visit.   I weighed myself this morning and have lost 14 pounds since surgery. I'm happy with this amount, but of course always wish it was more. A pound a day... can't complain. I also have lost over 5 inches.   I have lost a total of 38 pounds since dieting and surgery... I still can't really tell that I've lost any we

Stage 2 Food And 11 Days Post-Op

I'm getting sooo sick of stage 2 food. SO, tonight, I took some of my husbands tomato juice and added some chili powder to it, warmed it up and YUM!!!!!!!! It was a really really nice change. Healthy too! I normally do not like tomato juice, so getting the nutrients from it.   I gulped milk accidentally today. Not recommended... OUCH!   I am 11 days post op and have lost 14 pounds since surgery (38 total) and have met my first goal! I'm not sure about rewarding myself... I think my reward is

I Declare...

Wow! Today has been a 180 from yesterday in terms of how I'm feeling about myself and the surgery. I am not down in the dumps. I kept super busy most of the day, but when I was able to wind down, I had some time to think about some of the things I was told in my pre-op class... My dietician told me that she likes to listen to audio books while she walks on her treadmill or exercises.   There are a few reasons why this is an awesome idea... 1. Watching TV while exercising you have 1/3 commerc

1 Week Post-Op Update With Picture

Attached is a picture from yesterday 11/25/12 after an 8 pound loss (33 total).   Today I am 1 week post op and feeling blah. I want to eat things today... I'm not sure if this is because I'm starting my "time of the month" or if I'm just getting sick of stage 2 food. I'm still trying to figure out the hungry/full feeling. I'm having a hard time getting all my liquids down. I think I'm not being strict enough on myself... which is not like me. I don't know what is going on with me. I kind of

5 Days Post Op

I'm feeling pretty well. I did quite a bit of walking today. I haven't taken any pain meds since last night and I didn't take very much then. I am still a little sore. I slept in the bed for the first time last night instead of the chair. It was pretty good. I used a pillow against my stomach and laid on my side and even mostly on my tummy for a little bit too. I did still have pain when I moved around some. Also, getting up and down from chairs and bending still hurts. My incisions are healing
