I'm over the halfway mark to my weight goal!

Week 5 Post Op Report

What a journey! I am 5 weeks from surgery and a total of 24.4 pounds down!

I feel amazing! I’ve incorporated a ton of walking and I’m using my Apple Watch to help me along! I have closed all three of my fitness rings for 11 days straight! Ok, so I am in LOVE with my Apple Watch. I've had it for almost a year and I am just now tapping into it's fitness power!

I keep on top of my protein, vitamins and biotin!

I struggle with water but I average about 50 ounces a day. I have only had one day where I had to “purge” because something did not agree with me. Tuna and my Tiny Tummy still do not agree so I’m going to leave it alone for a while!

I walk on average a little more than 3 miles a day for my exercise but manage to get in at least 13,000-17,000 steps a day depending on how my schedule goes.

I get up every hour and walk around for at least five minutes. Then if I’m watching a show I get up and walk in place during the commercials!

I meet with my doc this week for a progress report.

I have one more week before I graduate from soft foods to the final phase!

I’ve got my cookbooks ready, my food scale ready and my measuring plates ready!

I could NOT be more happy with my progress! I feel amazing and I’m grateful to have this tool!

None Scale Victory: My rings on my finger are spinning!

6 Weeks Post Op!

My world is drastically different! I now walk 3 to 4 miles a day and I’m constantly getting up to move my body! .

I close my Apple Watch rings daily and about 4 to 6 days a week I double or triple them!

I have been released to have all foods. When I reintroduce some I need to start at 1 ounce to see how “Tiny Tummy” likes it!

I am not reintroducing sugars, coffee or junk! I did not pay close to $13,000 to fail! .

I went to get follow up bloodwork done this week and my numbers are all in the perfect range! .

This is my new world and I am happy it!

I am OFFICIALLY SLEEVED! (surgery was Dec 9th, 2019)
It was an easy procedure for me and I am not having complications. If you want to see part one of my journey go here: https://sabrinagoddess.com/life-on-the-other-side-post-op-wls
I will be making new posts during this whole process!

SO super stoked about how close this is going to happen. Pulled out my suitcase and I'm starting to prep for my journey. I leave next week.

I had my Pre-Op Nutrition appointment today via phone. Everyone is paid and now ain't nothing to it but to do it.
Next week I fly to Denver, meet the hospital for blood draws and EKG, go meet my doc, start my liquid diet on Friday Dec 6th and surgery on Monday Dec 9th.

Hey everyone.  Happy Sunday!  Today is day three after surgery.  I am blessed to have the support of my family as well as members of this group.  You guys rock.  I had my surgery at 3 pm Thursday and I was determined to be walking as soon as possible.  I began doing laps around 7.  My wife was there motivating me as well as other patients who became part of the posse.  My pain was not bad at all but I did have bad gas.  I was worried about meeting my fluid and protein goals but I am surpassing both as of yesterday.  My only regret is putting this surgery off as long as I did.  Thanks guys and will talk again soon.
