Day 11. Peptic Anarectic



Recommended Posts

Hoo boy am I ever not hungry. I woke up this morning not being hungry, wandered through the morning not being hungry, drank a Vitamin Water containing a Nexium and then started on another one. It occurred to me in the shower that it would be completely easy to go fully lowcarb now because I do not give a stuff about food. And I realized I was much more comfortable with nothing but Water in me anyway. Protein seems to have a set of consequences that make me feel like I've had an operation of some kind.

I can see the brilliant frankengenius in this surgery. The last time I was like this I was fifteen years old and eating a Marlboro Light and a Fresca for Breakfast. I'm on the verge of skipping the thin liquid stage and just powering through the next ten days on Sobe Lifewater and valium.

I guess that depends on whether you want to stay stalled or you want to actually lose weight. ;-P

Your plan, though it has a sort of romance to it, will send your body into survival mode sure as shootin' . You need that Protein, I am sorry to tell you... to protect your muscles and to start your body using the fat deposits for fuel- and I am quite sure you wan that or you would not have had 85% of your stomach removed!

Pssst, by the way, you did have an operation ;-P

Meggie is right. You can add unflavored Protein Powder to sobe life Water.< /p>

I did. I got it at GNC. You need Protein. Your body needs protein.

Thank you both. You are most excellently right. I never thought about adding Injury to SoBe Water but I'll keep working on it seriously.

It's just so amazing to simply not. want. food.

I am seriously thinking of getting only unflavored Unjury and just adding it to things I like - broth, flavored waters and the likes. Because watery chocolate malt doesn't appeal.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
