Ok....here I am on day 4 of Boot Camp. Monday and Tuesday, I have a headache which I attribute to withdrawing from carbs. And that first day, I lost 3 lbs. YEA!!!! But today, I am having serious carb cravings! Right at this moment, I feel the same exact way I did when I first quit smoking. Is this normal for day 4? I'm so very, very close, and I've really enjoyed the way that I've been eating, and I've been tracking it, and I'm quite proud of myself. I plan on taking what I've learned in boot camp, and continuing on. But let me tell you.....I would just about kill for a devil dog, or a piece of pound cake. I really thought these cravings were behind me.

Has anyone else had this problem?

yes thats totally normal!! I woke up with a slight headache this morning and I'm having to curb the shock with some yogurt right now. Thank goodness for that or I'd have totally blown this already and I'm only on day 2. Well, count in my head start so more like day 3.

Great job already!!! Whoootttt!!!

Day 5 is now a mere memory, and I lost 5 lbs total!! YEA!!! I did have some carbs yesterday, but I didn't go too crazy. I went to Starbucks and got a large chai tea latte with fat free foam, and the extremely chatty barrista was absolutely insistent that I try and iced chai tea latte. The problem was that it was made with half & half. It was only about an ounce or so, but still. I know she was only trying to be nice, but she REFUSED to take no for an answer! And then last night, I made a 7up pound cake for my friend who is going through some tough times with her teenage daughter, so I baked her a little happy, and took her some flowers. And I did have a small piece of cake, but other than that, I did ok. I was able to get in all my Water, and I find that it's easier to do when I make it to the gym. So I'm going to make a concerted effort to make it to the gym every day during the week. Well, as soon as I figure out how to do it, I will update my ticket. (I'm extremely ticker challenged)

LOL Thanks Kim and Lynda! I like to call it my Birthday Month... haha smile.png

Elixabeth - I did in the early stages during weight loss. I would log all my food in https://www.livestrong.com/login/ It will keep track of all your calories, carbs, sodium, sugar - all that and it's free. There are many others you can use, but that just so happens to be one I chose. Not sure why, it was just easy to figure out I guess. wink.png I didn't really ever set a real limit to myself, I just figured if I'm eating right the calories can't go that high. They were always around 800-1,000 for the day and really I burned 1,500 for the day on workouts alone. So you can see it wasn't anything major for me to worry too much about that.

I don't ever log my food anymore, since I'm not actively trying to lose. I do however plan to continue to use this as a way of life if I need to get off a few pounds here and there. Good luck!!! smile.png

You look so great!! I saw you were burning 1500 a day on workouts.. what are you doing? I am bored from the treadmill,and I think its not doing as much good as it was a while ago.. thanks!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
