All this whining is stemming from the fact my scale is still in my bathroom floor. omg...can you imagine what I am going to be like next week when my hubby hides it. All I can say now is....I'm sorry....I'm sooooo sorrrrrrrry. Nobody every said detox was easy...

I have such a love/hate relationship with that little square thing on the floor of the bathroom....I'm going to punch BOB now to get myself under control....

sorry again...lol

I need a sponsor....

oooh I had coffee tooo...sorry about that too....My family says I have diarrhea of the mouth when I drink that...but I have a lot of cleaning to do tonight... some how my house was nominated for a spur of the moment girls night tomorrow..

Get Hubby on here, I need to tell him to hide that evil thing!!!! Get rid of it...it really hurts for a few days...but today is better. I know it is coming out in two days and I can do it....it might help that I weighed at doctor Friday..I don't know...but I hate the hold that square thing has on me!!:thumbup:

Hubby is ready for monday to be here already..lol He can't wait to hide it from me!

Sooooo...how did the scale look at the doctors office....I wish you had oceanfront property in Arizona..that would be something to take a pic of for the books of amazing tales.

Soooo...we are preparing for a hurricane! Oh yeah!! Went to the store tonight...no Water (I was smart, I have been buying 2 gallons every time I went to the store since the beginning of the year), no canned goods, few peanut butters, and already running low on fuel! We Floridians know how to scramble and hoard!

Our house is only 3 years old so it has the windows made to with stand 150 mph winds....so we dont have to worry about boarding up the house...just pulling in the pool furniture and anything that can become a flying object!

So...these things have a crazy mind of their own....we will not know for sure if we will be hit until it's here....if for some reason you don't hear from me for a couple of days it will be because we will be without power! The governor has already declared a state of emergency for the entire state!

To think...Traci left her safe home to come down to Florida to play in the hurricane! Do you know how long she was planning on staying down here?

I am still going to the doctor on monday...and he will give me a fill or I am going to kick him....I dont care if it is windy..lol

Drum roll please...

3 lbs down this week!! Current wt 263...down from 266!

So....honey did not have the scale hidden by the time we got back from Doctors office... Me being the scale addict that I am......knowing that I would not get to step on it for another week ran right for the bathroom...he was hot on my trail....but I beat him and locked the door..lol

So...I stepped on it 4 times..he was just laughing at me...then he picked it up and took it away from me...ooooh I feel such an emptiness.. its like one of my beagles has been taken away from me...

So ladies!! We all did awesome! I can't wait until next week so we can stand on the scale again!!:wink2:

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
