SAD HATTER

Ok, so, I go to my 1 year post op, and I am down 170. Go me. Anyways, I tell the nurse that I have to eat like 4 or 5 times a day to get enough Protein in because I hate food and can't force myself to get it down. So she says, we need to resolve this, and acts like its pretty important. THEN... they take my stats 102/106 with a heart rate of 48 and poof, my food issues are a non-issue. They are sending me to a cardiologist. My appointment is in August. I had high blood pressure when I was fat. But the more I lose, the lower my pulse gets. And my log since my checkup is this: 102/62 hr 50 102/68 hr 48 106/57 hr 50 107/64 hr 65 117/75 hr 48 So... the cardiologist says keep doing the log till he can see me. I will get an ekg, and go home with a monitor, and there was discussion of a pacemaker. I am 36. They told me that if I had stayed fat, I probably would have worn my heart out by 40. Like, drop dead worn it out. In the past month I have: passed out in the shower, blacked out on a roller coaster, and gotten dizzy and faint at least 5 times a day and sometimes I get so weak I feel like I have been hit by a damn truck. My eating and hating food is on the back burner for 3 months until we get my heart under control.

Thanks. Its only been like this about a month or so. food just tastes different. Now fruit, I still enjoy. But I keep that to a minimum. I try to vary my diet with tuna, catfish, chicken, turkey, pork, steak, shrimp, eggs, sausage. But after a while I guess my taste buds were kinda like, can we just eat a damn salad? And my colon is all....noooo because salad makes us poo. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App Oh, and I have a scheduked check in with the surgeon next week. I plan on asking.

I am 11 months out, and honestly, all food just has lost its appeal. Nothing sounds good. I hate mealtime. I sit down to eat and force every bite. I end up barely eating. If it weren't for protein shakes I would be sick. Is this normal? Anyone else hit this wall at maintenance phase? I seriously just don't want to eat.

I am 11 months out ( on July 13th) and I JUST started adding some complex carbs. I do sweet potato and baked potato (very very rarely). And if pasta is allowed to sit and get really fat and absorb tons of liquid, I might have a few bites. I use the veggie pasta stuff. But I only eat pasta I cook. When you eat out, they cook it al dente and that means it finishes absorbing in your stomach and expands. I have yet to do toast. But I do wheat crackers with my tunafish. Not a lot, just a few.

I am 6 months out. I eat chocolate. I have a single tiny piece some afternoons. Not gonna lie. I also have chocolate milk. But I buy the sugar free syrup.

My surgeon told me to expect to gain around 25 lbs after hitting my lowest and after my body adjusts. She said it can take years, but to expect it.

Until 2 months out, I was only allowed 1-2 Tbsp of food. Now at almost 3 months, some things I can eat 1/4 cup of. chicken I can eat very little of. Ground beef I can eat almost a 1/4 cup, same with refried Beans, and I can eat 2 eggs over easy, but only 1 scrambled. And Yogurt tastes tooooo sweet to me so I can't eat it.

Surgery was on 8/13. I have been doing crossfit since week 6. I went to work 5 days after surgery. My energy level is really up, and I feel really good about myself. I did have a stall for 3 weeks, and that sucked big time. But the scale is slowly moving again. I lost 15 lbs before surgery, and I am down 80 total.
