Week 2: I think I can do this!



Recommended Posts

Well....actually I already did it!

I am 2 weeks post op today and weighed in at 304.5 lbs! That is down 26.5 lbs from my 'season' high of 331 lbs. I have to be honest with all of you....I haven't really been walking or working out like I should. I want to wait until I am sub 300. I am close - so I may shop for a new 'bike' this weekend.

Not too much pain to report. I can touch my port and it sometimes touches me back. Especially when I am working at a desk. I also started having some back pain (mid-level) on the left side. I am not sure what that is from but is aches. I think maybe a massage or an adjustment is needed.

My trip to the Rose Bowl went well. I had plenty to drink and eat. A friend of mine made a terrific lobster bisque. I was full watching the game and had plenty of cold Water. I snuck in a Jello Protein shot at halftime.

I have been having a love affair with Soup and Cottage cheese since my doctor removed my liquid restriction. No PBing, Sliming, or anthing. My daily intake is the following:

Breakfast: Protien shake

Lunch: Soup

Snack: Protien Shake

Dinner: Soup

Desert: Cottage Cheese!!!!

Also, I will be 38 tomorrow!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
