2nd Stage Update

So, just a quick post on how I am doing with the 2nd stage of this journey. This is my 6th day on pured/mushy foods. So far I have been satisfied. I feel good, have energy and no emotional breakdowns like I had on liquids.

 

This is what I am eating: 1/4 cup of pured foods 3 times a day. I eat it VERY slowly over a 20-30 minute time frame. No drinking 15 minutes before and I wait 1-1.5 hours after I finish eating to drink again. I also have 3 protein shakes a day with Calorie Countdown Fat Free milk.

 

So far my go to foods are oatmeal, refried beans with cheese and salsa and canned chicken. Thats seriously all I have been eating. I need to change it up a bit! Very boring, i know.

 

I have also stepped up my exercising as I am feeling back to normal. I seriously don't feel like I have had surgery. Everything has healed nicely and I have been using vitamin E on my incisions, which seems to be working.

 

As of this morning, i am down to 199.5 pounds! Thats a total of 11.5 pounds lost since surgery on March 29th. I am fitting into my older clothes and feeling a lot better about myself. Now, i have 50 pounds to go!

Great job Jilly! Isn't it awesome to be in the 100's? That is my biggest goal is to get under the 200 mark. I too had surgery same date as you...I have lost 11 lbs since surgery however I still have some pain. I know you said you don't feel like you had surgery however do you feel any tightness? Its crazy most people feel the tightness in the chest however I feel the tightness/pain on my port and shoots to my back...ugh it feels so weird. I guess I have to get use to it. I am happy for you!

Hi Jilly!

You keep going girl! 11.5 pounds in 2 weeks- that is awesome! I am jealous you are under the 200 mark. Keep writing and inspiring us! I get banded in 9 days and this liquid diet is keeping me QUITE HUNGRY! I just have to persevere.....
