Sassyprassy

These are a few photos of my changes. the one with the 2 pictures, the purple shirt was in Aug. the other one was in October. The other photos were taken today. Do you see much of a change. I see it a bit.

My weight loss is at a stall too. I was losing a lot. and now I lose about 3lbs in a week.
My biggest worry still is eating. I would eat and 2 hours later I would have to eat again. I am eating full portions. Someone said more Protein but I at a chicken breast no skin, boneless last night and 1 1/2 hours later I wanted to eat again. So i had my Protein Shake and 1 horus after that I wanted to eat again. I know it is my stomach because it would hurt soooo much until I went to eat it. The hunger pains.
I am so worried about regaining my weight back because I can eat anything. well all that is on the list. I never got sick yet. Oh wait I did w hile cooking a turkey. Smell made me sick. But i never liked turkey anyways. But the food going down nothing makes me sick. I dont know if i am listening to my body when I am full or what.
Other issues is when chewing I chew my food a lot but if it gets too soggy or mushy then I am gagging. so i can't chew it that much. I try to chew at least 20x. But it does not take me an hour at all to eat. More like 10 -15 min. So that worries me. I worry I am stretching my stomach eating more solid foods.

Anyways else having this issues.

Since June 18 I have lost about 40lbs. 1 month Optifast and then surgery July 17.

This week i have been emotional and irritable. Friday was my last day of school, we had pot luck. I brought potatoe salad because that was all I was able to eat.

And Saturday I went to my mother in law for a family get together and I had to bring food I can eat.
I am getting sick of making food every where I go.
I want to eat solids. Like a Caesar salad or steak. Hamburger sausage.

I am also in these Vitamins I bought and I can't stomach them. I eat a few and vomit. So who knows how much I am getting in.

Yes my rant for the day.


Here is a before and after picture so far.

Before picture was taken in March. Other picture was taken 2 half weeks post op

At first I did a lot of weight and measure, just a simple kitchen scale and a measuring cup. Once I got use to seeing what these portions looked like, I just eye ball them now.

My issue was no pain at all. I was on oxy and I felt that is all I did in hospital was sleep. I was surprised they sent me home 24 hours after surgery

Wow, that sounds delicious! I'm starting puree today and already bought a mini loaf pan for Eggface's ricotta bake.

I got the sleeve done same day as all of you. I am not sure what is going on as I feel normal now. First 4 days it hurt to drink Water. Now I can gulp it and it won't hurt until the 4 of 5th gulp.

Anyways I am on full Fluid. Milk, pudding, yogurt, apple sauce, juice, cream Soups. I can't wait until next week when I can go on baby food. Or puree foods.

I am having a hard time getting enough liquid in. I feel like all I do is eat and drink. Then my urine is still really really dark. Anyone else.

Has anyone had sex yet? I have a few times. Not sure if that was right of me to do. But hubby was gentle and no pain. So....

TO get your liquids in take a sippy water bottle, ive bee adding crystal light pure ( i dont like to do aspartame but ill do stevia or just lemons) and walk around with it all day! DO NOT GULP! thats what all my nurses told me, no gulping or staws just take the poland spring sports bottle with the pop up top and sip that slowly all day!

From your mouth to . . . I have to say, this is an encouraging post. I had my gall bladder out years ago, and I would be thrilled if this was even easier--I was up at midnight the day of that surgery, scrambling eggs because I was hungry! Now, I know I won't be doing that . . .
I did have an open hysterectomy a couple of years ago, and I'm fairly confident this will be easier than that was.

I was also amazed at how easy the surgery was! I've had 4 c sections and my gall bladder out and this was by far the easiest of those surgeries. I just kept saying - I can't believe how easy this was. The hard part now is getting my fluids, Proteins and Vitamins in every day and tracking every bite. The hardest thing is not drinking when I eat and keeping it separated by 30 min on each side- I don't think I'll ever get used to that!
