I just went to Wal-Mart to try to get some Protein stuff I could barely walk and by the end of 15 minutes almost passed out.

My bosses wants me to come back to work on Monday and I thought I was ready but if I can't even walk 15 minutes in Wal-Mart I don't think I could take an I hour shift doing treadmill test to patients

I made this same mistake the first time I went out after my surgery. Gotta take it slower and make sure you always have your Water or SF beverage with you to sip while walking around.

Okay, so I hate oatmeal as well, but decided to give it another try. Yeah, didn't happen. Was still as nasty as I remember it! LoL! I was completely BLOWN AWAY at how much cream of wheat tastes like grits!!! Now that I can have cheese, I add that to cream of wheat so it is kinda like cheese grits! I say go cream of wheat and screw the oatmeal. LoL!

I had my VSG 6-10-13 and just came back to work today 7-15-13 for a total of 5 weeks off. I'm so glad I gave myself the time (which my NP recommended by the way) because a pattern I am rectifying is self neglect, overdoing and not listening to my body. It wasn't until about 3 days ago that I began actually eating real food and adequately drinking fluids which makes all the difference energy and stamina wise. Be gentle with yourself. Your body has undergone a traumatic surgery. Practice loving kindness.

All the best,

Rosie

SOOOO sorry it took so long! Here is the pic of the cream of wheat. Looks like Uncle Ben in the circle, but it doesn't have a "brand" name.

I use aguave nector "amber" it's more like a maple Syrup flavor. It helps sweeten up the cream of wheat.

I like to mix applesauce in the oatmeal. Makes it creamier and a little tastier.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
