I was sleeved 9/05... I have lost a total of 40.2 pounds this far... Pre-op and post-op ... I think my schedule is the most complicating thing. I'm up really late with work... I sleep til late morning and early afternoon. So Breakfast is at noon... dinner is at 9... I get in around 1100 calories, around 70 grams of Protein. I do eat carbs... Probably something to argue, but I eat only whole grained stuff... Particularly flat out wraps for lunches and such and KASHI products... Whole grains... Low sugar... Higher in protein and Fiber and I'm not eating a ton of it... But I honestly don't have any urges. I experiment with recipes a lot... Recently been making a pumpkin dip with my protein powder... And dipping apples. I feel like my relationship with food is fine, I don't feel like I'm missing out and I still see results. I'm a happy girl. I feel balanced. I eat every 2-3 hours... Drinking between eating, Water, diet v8, protein coffee drink, and Vitamin waters.

hey mandymay where have you been?

I've been here reading! I love hearing what everyone has to say and that we are all doin this together! it's certainly trial and error, ups and downs, but what's important is that we are making better lives for ourselves. I have been back to work, so I have been fairly busy but doin very well :)

NG what did you eat today that got you 107 grams of Protein? That's great that you did that, I average about 50 a day.

Today is 5 weeks for me and it finally happened, I guess I ate too fast and within a minute I threw up. I always eat too fast but never had that happen.

I haven't lost any weight in 3 weeks but did gain 7 pounds :( so I have only lost 13 pounds since surgery. It's crazy that I went from 3,000 calories a day to 600-800 and still can't lose weight.

I know I need to start walking but until I get a cortisone shot in my foot next month, it feels like the bone is ripping through my heel.

Eating too fast has been the bain of my existence. I have learned that I must first, take smaller bites, chew...of course....which is easier to do with a smaller bite. And do it slow. I get in more Protein that way. Slow really is the key.

I did NOT get enough Water in yesterday. Having a really hard time lately with that. But I eat slow, and it seems like I'm hungry so soon after. It takes me an nearly an hour to eat. I used a low-carb tortilla yesterday and put 6 turkey slices (lunch meat type) and two pieces of provolone...warmed it in the microwave then folded it over and cut into six wedges. Awesome protein at 18g..only 6 carbs, but it takes me forever to eat it. Because too fast is painful or I vomit. And then I have to wait to drink. And it's like while I'm waiting to drink, I get hungry again.

Irritated.

I have been at a stall for over a week. I had my husband hide the scale :) I told him to bring it out on Saturdays and then hide it again. I got up this morning and it was gone. It was kind of freeing... I think it will be better for me to see more of a loss once a week. I just had to jump on that thing every day!

I tried toast with Peanut Butter today. It was awesome!! First time I have had it in months!! The dog was happy as I couldn't eat it all and gave a bit to her! lol

      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
