Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

I think I finally broke my stall, lost 1 pound. I upped my protein and have been getting 85-95g a day. I have a shake right before workout and directly after. I read that having something high in protein within 30 minutes after work out will help body burn the fat and save the lean muscle.

I started working out every morn before work and it feels great. Helps w stress to. However I think I need an afternoon work out til the separation of ex and my stuff is finalized because I am so stressed out. Generally good at work but as soon as I leave it starts building back up :-( other than that, I don't miss him anymore. I have the loneliness as I have had. Now I'm going to sound like a little school girl, however I think I have a little crush on a guy that just started working for who I work for. Totally different buildings, but he is always so happy and smiling when he comes into my building. It is that that made me notice him. And he is single, woohoo!!!! So we shall see what happens there if anything. I'm shy being married for 22 yrs and with him for 25. I was told Friday night that I am intimidating. So the next day I text a guy coworker, that is single. He said he would be intimidated due to my looks and cuz I have my "shit" together. I will add to that (except when ex is pulling his crap I'll lose it once and a while.)

Have a good day all !!!

I finally broke my stall too and lost a whopping 6.8 lbs this week. That is the most I ever lost in a week. I guess working out is helping.

Let us know if anything happens with the mystery guy at work. Someone you deserve will come along.

Thank you! I was shocked! Motivates me to work out even harder!

I wish I would have found this group earlier! I had RNY on Dec 11 and I am enjoying getting a lot of info from here and hearing everyones story! I have had to have 2 stricture surgeries and am possibly awaiting a 3rd one! It is very frustrating for me. Thanks for sharing so much info!

Welcome aboard! Congrats on your weight loss!

Thanks!

Thanks!

This week I've been suffering from an abcess on my gums that seems to have spread to my jaw. I went 2 days of having nothing but life water because that's the only thing I could tolerate warm, and then today I've had some applesauce. As a result I've lost 7lbs in 3 days. While I absolutely love the loss, something tells me that I should expect to see them back when this is all said and done. Your thoughts?

I am on pain meds and antibiotics but for now no one will see me until all the swelling has gone down.

Sorry! I hope the antibiotics kick in and your feeling better soon. I hope your 7 lbs stay off too! But if they don't, they will drop eventually!!

Oh man. Great weight loss but a terrible infection! I don't think you will see them back on unless you are really dehydrated. Be sure to try to get your protein in!

Im sorry for the infection. I hope all goes well for you and I dont think you will see those 7lbs again! When I had my 1st stricture I lost 10lbs in 5 days and never saw it again after I had the procedure!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and well wishes. The gum swelling is going down but the jaw is still in a lot of pain. I have upgraded from apple sauce to protein laced jello. Gonna try some pintos and cheese for dinner. I swear this is like starting all over again! I know we aren't supposed to use them, but straws have become my best friend!
