My first blog evah!

48 SWF......lol Have always wanted to start with that :)

 

Anyway, I was sleeved on 3/28/11 by Dr. Matt Fourman in Midland MI. I had an awesome experience with my surgery and my post-op recovery.

 

My pre-surgery weight was 248. I have stalled for the past couple of weeks, and even though I know its normal, is still starting to get frustrating. My plan for today is to go to fitness tracker and start logging everything to see where I'm at. I am horrible about measuring and tracking, but since I have such restriction I know I haven't been over-doing calories. I have been concentrating on getting my protein in and calling it good. I do think my brain could use a few carbs, am having post-surgical dyslexia, which I've never had an issue with before. Hmmm, if I were to have a carb what variety would I want? Who would have thought I could go 2 months without bread or potato?

 

I have never blogged before, I hope it takes and I can update at least once a week.......I hope I take to it better than my dream journal :)

What did you mean by Post-Sergical dyslexia? Are you really having a hard time (emotionally) with not being able to eat carbs- or were you just amazed at yourself? I was just talking over about how I've heard your taste buds are known to change after surgery but I dont know if that is just some people or more than likely everyone. I'm so curious to see how my journey unfolds. I am scheduled to be sleeved in August. Congrats on yours!

I have alot of family in Midland, MI !! I used to live there, but am in Arizona. Was a surprise to see Midland come up. Are you having any complications with your surgery? I am having mine in June, and am getting the jitters. I am hoping i am not making a huge mistake. Great job on giving up the carbs, i know how hard that can be...

I've had no complications and am so thankful :) I am now getting back into losing, but I still have a ton of restriction and can't eat much. So for now I am tracking and being really good eating every 2 hours during the week while at work. Unfortunately I blow it on the weekends and don't get enough calories or protein so that is slowing me down a bit. But am so busy! lol And I finally caved on my watermelon addiction......it was wonderful :)

And no the carbs still taste ok and sound like a good plan, just doesn't really work out.

Good luck with your surgeries........it is going to be awesome!
