199.6!! Hello ONE-DERLAND!!

Hi All!! I am a couple days shy of 3 weeks since my bypass and I feel great! No pain and I am down 25 pounds! The down side... I think I am able to eat or I am testing the waters a lil early... but wow does eating something other than a protein shake or just liquids taste so good!! Anyone else do this? I am back to work today... which hopefully get be back to a regular routine, and with the holidays being over I think will help with the temptations too!! I haven't been sick at all either!?
-
Tomorrow is my surgery day!! I really wish I could run out to Chipolte, Five Guys, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Panera and Dairy Queen and just go crazy!!!!!! Oh... wait... I am really enjoying all this chicken broth. Lol!

Day 3 of my liquid diet... day 2 of my headache. Hopefully just the lack of sugar right??

@Armygalbonnie that's what I have been working on! I have been giving up the caffeine/coffee, working on reading more food labels, trying to fit in a 30 minute elevated heart rate work out (for me, this seems to be the hardest so far!!) I work too jobs, run a house, single mom of a two year old!) I don't know where to squeak in another 30 min!) I know... don't sit and relax, wake up earlier... but damn I am beat!!
-
Bad new in this situation is great news!! Just got my lipid panel back and thank goodness for high cholestorol! Hopefully this will be enough for my approval!
-
Well... met with Dr. July, she doesn't think my esphogeal issues combined with my low BMI will be enough to get approval through my insurance. I had been fasting so I had my blood drawn to check my cholesterol and if that doesn't come back as "high" then we try a sleep study, but I don't snore... and I think I sleep fairly well. I am not feeling so good about getting approved. Ugh...
-
Has anyone been nervous about what their body will look like after... like maybe my butt isn't so bad now, what if I lose all the good things about my shape/body/me!? Am I just overthinking!?
