5 months and one day from surgery and feeling great!

I joined a gym over a month ago and started working out about 5 days a week. I think I have a new addiction!

Here's to the next 5 months!

It get better for sure. I really make sure I get my Vitamins, Water, and Protein in everyday, I think it helps with energy. I also increase my dosage of B12 in the morning and it gives me some energy. I needed something to replace the caffeine!

Best of luck!!!

I eat A LOT of protein!

I stick to a low carb/high Protein diet. No bad carbs at all (Pasta, sugar, flour, potatoes, bread, etc.) I am pretty diligent about that. I know that I'll probably get a lot of negative feedback but I don't eat a lot of fruit at this point either, only a few berries here and there. Honestly as soon as I finish with Protein there isn't much room for anything else!

For the first 3 months or so I really tried to get all of my protein from food. Over the last month though (since joining the gym and working out 5 days a week), I started adding a few Protein shakes a day to get my protein up to about 110 grams a day.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
