Major Mistake



Recommended Posts

Well I did a Stupid thing....hope I can fix it....I mistakingly calculated my food intake wrong for the last 2 weeks....1 on full liquids and 1 week on puréed. Eating to much -trying to get in 70 grams of Protein. Thank God I discovered it now-but is it to late? Has the damage been done? I feel really bad and extremely MAD - at my Stupidity!! Anyone know how to fix this? Other then getting back on the rights amounts....Can I reverse the damage?

You havent done any damage other than just to much intake. Getting in all your Protein is hard especially in the 1st few months from what I have been told. You are do great. just take each day as a new day and just take that as it comes

Not sure what you mean. I have only in the last 2 months calculated my food. And that's only been a few times.

im going on week two and getting protein in is extremely difficult with just shakes, especially since they are thick and gross. I cant wait until i can eat the majority of my protein with good foods.

I just started week 2 post op. I agree I am so tired of the Protein Shakes. I can't wait to week 3 When I can add cottage cheese and eggs But I can't argue with my weight loss so far. Pre op diet weight -293, today's weight -267.

My paperwork does say 2 to 3 oz but I can only get in about 1.5 oz (3tbsp) max of puree foods if that and I'm really struggling to get in enough liquids and protein... I envy you!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
