One step forward, two steps back

So I'm just venting today. I've been trying really hard and working on getting my Protein in with food since I got to graduate to soft foods after only a week of puree. Yesterday I took the boys swimming and I was starving when we were done, as per the usual. Aha but now I can get a small cup of Wendy's chili and make it last for two meals. So what I burned off I didn't eat all of it back and then some.

The problem came today when I got up and realized that I felt like there was a rock just happily sitting in my pouch. I took my morning meds and went about my day. When it came time to eat I just couldn't force it. Then I realized I was out of my Protein shakes and milk so no supplementing with liquids. So I thought I would push through and eat. I had tuna salad at lunch, an all natural ff hot dog for dinner and I may have managed to sip down about 30 oz of liquid today. It's so frustrating to me because I thought I was doing so well with it and progressing and then I get a day like this where I know that I haven't met quota at all. I cannot expect good results if I don't get adequate nutrition. Plus I just didn't feel super duper today so I think I may have over did with the swimming and all. All I know is today that pouch hates cold food or drinks and I felt a little stuck at one time. Not horrible but very uncomfortable.

Yes I know, I have no patience, this is a process, and I just had surgery. But I'm ready to get this weight loss show on the friggin road already!

Sometimes it just feels good to vent. I know that I will have my moments too soon.

My Dr. said no ice or anything with extreme temps for 2 months because it makes the pouch contract and he doesn't want that happening.

It's funny how different all doctors are. Mine has no restriction as far as temp is concerned. In the beginning I cold only tolerate cold liquids and then I could only tolerate room temp and now they have to be warm but I'm sure I'll end up with cool at some point. Everyday its a new pouch!

      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
