Day 5 after Plication

I think I finally figured out the blog so I did post a longer entry in my blog if you can find it! ;)

Today is the 5th day since my plication surgery.

I've lost 11 pounds as of this morning.

My starting weight was 283

Today's weight is 272 biggrin.gif

My goal for this first month is to lose 20% EWL of 130 pounds. So my goal for

month 1 is to lose 26 pounds and I'm almost half way there! yipppeee!

I woke up in a bit of internal pain this morning. My husband thinks it's my tummy healing.

Still following the liquids only diet. I see my dr. next Friday and after an x-ray of my

new tummy, I will get the okay to start mushies. I'm very happy with the liquid diet

though as I know once I start on mushies the weight loss will slow significantly. I want

to make the most of this first month and lose as much as I can.

When I was banded I really struggled with the liquids only diet, but I am not having

the same problem with the plication. food right now actually is pretty unappealing

to me which actually surprised me. I thought I would have a harder time of it, like

I did with the band. So I'm happy for that!

I'm off to walk around my neighborhood.

Take care,

genepha

Olivia,

Thanks! I'm actually quite surprised at how well I'm handling the liquid phase. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow it'll all fall apart but for now, I feel strong and in control. DH brought home a huge chorizo burrito for lunch today and it just grossed me outpuke.gifso I was happy to know that food that was once appealing - just isn't right now. I'm sure one day that'll change but for now I'm very grateful!

Willpower has never been my strong suit so I'm really hoping that my new tummy will help me out!

Does anyone know how I can get to the blogs?

underneath the name is a picture of a book, if you move your mouse over it - it says view blog - just click on it. (I just figured this out myself)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
