January 2020 Surgery Folks

[SINISTER 35]

I'm tired of the stay-at-home order too. Fortunately I have a job that will let me work from home temporarily (my wife works from home a lot of the time anyways so really no change for her). It's definitely challenging. I thought I'd like it more lol. Being cooped up isn't fun. We still get out and walk and do things outside as much as we can. It really sucks that they closed the gyms down right when I was getting back into working out. I'm still losing though so that's the good thing. It's amazing how the surgery reset my hunger trigger. I'd be eating like crazy before if I was at home this much but now I don't even really think about it. I practically have to force myself to eat so I can get my Protein in.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Had my sleeve on 20 Jan. Time to update.

Doing very well. No issues to speak of.

Down fifty pounds including pre-op.

Pants from 48 to 38, shirts from XXXL to L.

I can now pick up things off the floor.

Very happy.

I love the addition of the non scale victories! You just look like a whole new person, congrats!

I know! It's so hard sometime to eat to get the Protein in, and if I mess up and eat something I shouldn't, my body gives me a very unpleasant reminder. I have been enjoying the time to make some really good protein though, yesterday I show cooked some ribs and they were delicious and super high in protein. I'm glad you guys are doing ok!

People are noticing the smaller me.

I also have a problem. Every 2 or 3 weeks I have to buy new clothes. I've started in increments. For example, my last order for pants was for two pair of size 38s and two pairs of 36s. I only buy two at at time because no more than 3 weeks later, they go to good will. I probably have another week in the 38's and then I'll start wearing the 36s. I'll order two pair of 34s and two pairs of 32s.

That's so nice! I figure the isolation will give me a chance to lose a lot of weight and then surprise everyone when we finally get released.

That's a great idea with the clothing though, it must be so cool to see it coming off so quickly. I've lost a lot of weight thus far, but aside from some shirts fitting more loosely I'm still wearing the same clothes, ah well, I'll get there:) good luck with the continued loss!

I actually gained about nine pounds from the surgery. Must have been the IVs. I had lost all that in the first three days after the surgery. I know I was up going to the bathroom about every hour the night of my surgery.

But, that's not unusual for me. I also gained nine pounds from my shoulder surgery. They must really pump the IV to you.
