I just wanted to do a little happy dance for being 1/3 of the way to my goal! I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and hit my first goal. When I get down 3 more lbs...I get my first little treat! My hubby set the second goal. So down 50 lbs...100 lbs to go! My next goal is to be down 10 more lbs before Labor Day! I love reaching goals. I like to be a winner, I hate losing so that is why being over weight was such a disappointment for me!

Congrats..super accomplishment in such a short time. Our stats are similar hope I can do as well. What is your typical day of eating look like?

I try to stay under 600 calories a day. For Breakfast I usually have a scrambled egg with cheese. At lunch I have 6 slices thin deli selects turkey (cracked pepper is my fav) and a cheese stick. For a snack I usually have Kroger CarbSmart yogurt or Jello sugar free pudding with 1/2 scoop SimplyRight Protein powder. For dinner I try to cook something good, tasty and low carb. I have tons of recipes I use and found some great ones on worldaccordingtoeggface.com I did the lasagna cupcakes ***ht before last and use my own famous lasagna recipe for the sauce. I use my crockpot just about every day. Then we always add one of the steamers for a side item. Most ***hts I have a snack about an hour or so before bed....I made a low fat sf cheesecake and ate a tiny piece of that for several ***hts (my husbands love it and his piece was anything but tiny) I try to get all my Protein in with out making a Protein shake...they make me feel sick and shaky. I also have to take my Vitamins at ***ht after supper...in the morning make me sick. I do swap up my Breakfast egg for some organice instant oatmeal in the mornings and had 1/2 scoop of vanilla Protein Powder.

I also like to have my coffee with some vanilla Protein Powder as Creamer and I always add splenda!

What do you usually eat???

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
