Hi everyone,

Just wanted to update those who may be curious.

As of today I am five weeks + 1 day post op. So far I am doing well. I am down to 219, which is a 27 lbs from surgery. When I started this process I was 255 so pre/post op I have lost a total of 36 lbs.

What I eat:

grilled chicken (one thigh usually)

veggie burger (this is dry but I dip it in ketchup)

meats cooked in a crock pot 3-4 oz

cottage cheese

egg whites

eggs

Premier shakes from costco

Chili from Wendys

1/4 toast (per my NUT)

3-4 crackers (per my NUT)

My nut said to add 1/4 cup of veggies or fruit but can barely eat my Protein

Things I crave (I am slowly losing interest in these foods as I am realizing that I love that I have the control over my food now):

cake (frosting)

Chinese food

tacos

mac n cheese (I make award winning mexi mac n cheese (seriously it won an award))

pizza

Things I am grateful for:

No heartburn at all

my smaller body

my family who has been very supportive

Things I am annoyed about:

slimmies

Things I cannot live without

Water bottles

my Satchil (insulated lunch bag)

freezer pack

small containers for my Vitamins

1/2 cup containers for my lunch

Mio

Powerade zero

I am not NOT! exercising because I do not want to. Not sure how I can get motivated to do this. I am sure if I started doing this I would lose the weight a lot faster.

I had one stall for a week (223/224lbs), but I didn't care. My logic: my hair wont fall out so soon and pants will stop falling off!

One thing, I was having BM's pretty normal but then I started to struggle to poop. I don't know if its the premier shakes, but that is when it started. Has this happened to anyone? I still go, its just a battle sometimes! I think I need to add Fiber to my meals. I am generally a very healthy pooper.

Well, sorry for the long post. If you have any questions, please ask! I encourage them.

Have a great day everyone!

Yw Sophie! congrats on your new journey! 2 weeks post op was very hard for me as I struggled with my food addiction. Just remember that each day does get better! I wish you the best!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
