2 weeks post op first restaurant



Recommended Posts

All day long I was looking forward to going out to dinner. I had planed to have the lobster bisque. Fatty yes, but at the rate of calories I have been comsuming I could afford a few. The restaurant had an hour wwait, so we went some place else. I asked the server what type of Soup they had and she says chicken noodle. So, for $4 a bowl I got to have yet anoth cup of chicken broth! Oh well, maybe next time.

Fortunately on my mushie phase I can have chicken, turkey, or fish as long as it's not fried. The other night we went to Woody's BBQ and I had a chicken breast filet drenched in BBQ Sauce, about 1/2 a sweet potato and some green Beans (I can have overcooked veggies as well). Yesterday we went to Golden Corral Buffet and I had baked salmon, brussel sprouts and squash/zuchinni. So I've been eating a lot of Protein and veggies. Not a whole heckuva lot in the way of carbs but that's the way my dr wants it.

My first restaurant experience was at great New Orleans inspired restaurant in DC. I was traveling on business and on strict Clear Liquids ... sat there with a bowl of chicken broth while others drank wine, had appetizers, Entrees, dessert. It was torture, but I knew when I made it through that evening that I was committed to this lifestyle change. Since then, I've eaten out a few days and done just fine, most recently a Breakfast meeting the day I started mushie food ... I was so excited to order an omlet!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
