Today marks 11 weeks since I had my weight loss surgery! The day of my surgery I weighed 411 lbs! Today I am 366 lbs! I have lost 45 lbs since my surgery. When I can home from the hospital I weighed 430 lbs all that was fluid, but i am not going to count that b/c that was weight I had already lost and regained and lost again, if that makes sense. My total weight loss since Sept 2011 is 139 lbs, which is amazing to me, b/c I really never saw a big difference until I had my surgery. Wonder why that is?? I mean I could see a difference in between my legs and some in my neck, but no one else noticed till after my surgery which is odd.
I am still struggling daily to get my water and protein in. As much as i used to eat, it is funny how little it takes to fill me up. 1/2 cup of this sometimes less, just depends on what it is.
Even though I had the Atrial Flutter in recovery after my surgery and they shocked my heart twice and have had chest pain and heart palpitations, I do not regret my decision having the surgery at all. I would do it all over again. My heart is fine and I have no blockages. I will be seeing the heart doctor again on Tuesday to discuss the heart palpitations and see where we go from here.
I will be seeing my Surgeon and Nutritionist on Feb. 9th and I hope I can come off soft foods. I need a change! I have gotten bored with the soft food stage and I don't eat eggs. YUCK!!!!
Today has been a good day so far, 34 oz water and 38 g protein, which I know that is not nearly good enough, but I haven't had dinner or snack yet, so I still have some time to get more protein and water in! :)
