Is anyone else having surgery in July?

me too, arrives tomorrow feeling quite excited!

Weird question, so my body hurt when I like poke it or grab it like my calves my arms.. it's mostly like my fatty parts, that I assume aren't so fatty anymore.. they kind of hurt.. is this normal???

Hello everyone, I am 10 days post-op and man am I bored. I want to clean. It’s something I do a lot and I can’t really bend without pain and I don’t think my surgeon would want me using the swifter and hand vacuum. So, I’m pretty bored. Hate watching tv because it makes me “head hungry”. So yea, I have two more weeks before anything major. I go back to week in three weeks. Also my progress has been SLOW. For my weight I should have lost 10-30 lbs in the first ten days. I lost like 5-7. I lost 15lbs in the pre-op diet so I wasn’t expecting a stall so soon. I was stalled for like four days. So yea, that’s where I’m at if anyone has any advice or words of encouragement.

How many cals are you taking in a day? Grams of protein? Also im day 5 and im going stir crazy since I cant clean when I want to. However I love pushing my swiffer around so ive been doing the wet then dry swiffer action. Ive had a lot of help from my family cleaning and I really dislike being dependent on anyone. I tried to vacuum once and nope wasnt going to happen I wheeled it a foot and was winded LOL!

So, my calories were about 300 the first several days. Probably a week under 400. Then I had a day where I realized I could eat something else and went over. I didn’t even count it. But I’m back on track since the scale finally moved despite my extra calories. I tried a bunch of things like hot tea and extra walking But my body just did not want to drop weight. It’s good to hear that you use your swifter. I will def be trying it now. I just have a large house so it can get tiring.

Think of it this way, youre getting your "walking" and "steps" in swiffering. I love it! Im like hey Im totally doing what im supposed to be. Super light swiffer + walking = win!

What was this mystery food you decided to eat?

I am so surprised I haven’t been shopping. I love shopping (probably my replacement addiction) but I haven’t had anything to buy.

I didn’t say I needed anything, that’s my problem!! I’ve bought a label maker today....not quite sure why ?
