MAY 2013 POST-OP GROUP

[tracik 62]

It is so strange to read everyone's progress. As I read these I keep thinking, man they are doing great....wish I was doing that great. Then I do the math and say.. Wait a minute, I am doing that good! Surgery was 5/28. Starting weight was 296 (5/2/13). Surgery weight was 284. Today I weighed 230! 66 pounds down! Woohoo! Bought some size 16 jeans this weekend....almost in them! Maybe a few more weeks! So glad I made this decision!

Saw some relatives this past week in Florida. They didn't know and when they saw me, my aunt starting crying. They are so happy for me. She said I inspire them daily now. That is a good feeling!

I am brand new to this website (as of today) and excited to see how many people are on here! I also use MyFitnessPal too. I had surgery May 13th and am down 80 pounds total. I am still extremely positive about this life changing journey! Haven't regretted it once.

I'm 21 days out from surgery and I'm only getting in 150-250 calories a day. I can eat about 6 small bites of anything, whether that's cottage cheese, Beans, Soup, chicken, tuna, egg. I make myself eat 3 times a day because I never feel hungry. Protein Drinks come right back up. I've tried over a dozen different kinds. It amazes me that some of you are able to get in 500-700+ calories a day. I feel like if I could eat that much, I'd have more energy. Anyone else where I'm at?

You will get more in. I get about 500 calories (pre exercise) per day. I sometimes eat 2-3 bites per meal and I am done. But it does get better. I am with you on energy drinks. I have spend hundreds on protein, but haven't found one I can stomach post surgery. Keep going day by day. It will get better.

Really try to get 6 meals a day in. It will totally help you feel better. Have you tried Unjury or nectar or Chike. Those are my favorites. I am 3 mis out and now getting about 850 cal a day. That's with 2 shakes a day.

I'm down 67.8 lbs and 3 mis out!! Loving this!! (Lost 32 before surgery)

That's awesome. I'm 3 months out as well & 79pds down (35 before surgery). Tomorrow is my 3 month doc apt so I wonder what that scale will say.
