Last 20lbs nearly 2 years out



Recommended Posts

I’ve been struggling lately with to much eating or eating the wrong thing. Still not eating a lot just getting past Christmas. I’ve had some issues with digestion like everyone else and a previous (TMI warning) anal fissure. Miralax instead of Stool softeners are being used. If it wasn’t for the fissures I would use more Fiber. I would like to get back on track and I feel it starts this week. My late night 32oz of tea is not helping Got to cut it out. I’m trying more Keto oriented diet. Body Tech Protein every morning I love the cinnamon Cereal. I was just checking how is everyone else doing.

I am 1 year 1 month post op. I still need to lose 34lbs for my personal GW. 49 for surgeon GW. I was also bad during the holidays, so all weight loss momentum stopped and I regained about 5lbs. It wasn't so much bad food as too much food.

So I decided to do a "72 hour pouch re-set". Same as the liquid diet I did for 2 weeks pre-op. (Six Atkins Protein Shakes a day *I prefer premier protein*, Bone Broth in between, all the hot tea and Water I can manage in between, end of day treat of two sugar free ice pops) First 24 hours were great and I felt fabulous. I have now hit hour 30 - I hate everyone and everything (Kidding but not kidding ;-)). Just like when I did it the first time. I have heard great things about even doing this for 48 hours to help the pouch and the brain remember how good small portions can truly be. Here's to the next 42 hours. Meanwhile I am drooling while meal planning and finding new bari-friendly recipes to try.

      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!

      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!!
