My first big challenge



Recommended Posts

Well, tomorrow is the annual family reunion (husbands' family) in beautiful downtown Granite Shoals, TX. I first attended 35 years ago when my husband and I were dating so I have known many of these people for a long time and love them dearly. There is always tons of good food, none of which is allowed on my current pureed regimen. I am taking some stuff with me in a small cooler to eat in the truck before we get there and on the way home but I am not going to whip out my little bowl of pureed chicken in public.

No one there knows anything about me having this surgery and I really prefer not to discuss it or have to explain it multiple times. I know there will be questions about why I am not eating and people always wanting me to try something they brought. Not to mention offering me a beer or some wine. I plan to just say I am trying to lose weight and only eating certain foods and I hope that is enough. I am only about 10 lbs. below my weight last year and have not seen any of them since then.

Wish me luck!!!

I have my big first test tomorrow. A memorial day family picnic with all of the goodies, burgers, hot dogs, bratwurst...etc. I always help run the grilles, but I plan to be strong. I am now on soft foods as of today! I will most likely eat a few deviled eggs or I may take some steamed shrimp and have a few of them and leave it at that. This is the new normal.

Good luck and stay strong!

Happy to report that the day went fine(except for being hot out there) and I got through the whole thing with Water, Powerade zero and 2 jalapeno deviled eggs. :D:D

Sadly, my program does not allow any of those on the pureed portion of the diet. I honestly just asked my husband to get me the deviled eggs and did not even go and look at the food. It smelled divine though...

      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?
