I think I am doing especially well 21 days post op! I am down to 271 this morning - after staying at 273 for a week!!! I am eating 3 oz of fish, shrimp, crab or lunchmeat and cheese 3 times a day - so I am getting 60 oz of protein a day. I drink 2 G2 20 floz of grape gatorade, with water in between. I am shedding some hair....
But I have lots and lots of hair - so I think I will be okay. I have not had any fatigue - I have 6 kids at my house this week for my annual Camp Shannie - so bowling, swimming, beach, and movies haven't slowed me down any. I have not puked once nor had any significant pain...just a VERY full feeling after 3 oz. I have a hard time NOT drinking for 30 minutes after I eat though.......
My lower back is sore - I think it is the sudden loss of weight. Like after a pregnancy....looking forward to getting the first massage of my life (professional one!). I also jumped off the diving board - several times - for the first time in over a decade!!
Life is good friends - those that are not as far out as me - have hope! It does get better!!!!!
