2 Weeks Post Surgery

So it has been two weeks since my surgery. I feel like things are going great. I am down a total of 32lbs. I even lost weight on my trip, which is a new experience. My only complaint is that I am hungry. I can't wait to get my first fill, as this should help. I am trying to stick to my 2oz/1/4c. I find that I have to eat more often with this. I got back Monday night and was able to start up my Zumba again. Man, I love Zumba. I just do it on the WII, but it is soooo much fun. Plus, 36 mins burns me 637 calories. I can't wait to be able to lift weights again. I had a personal trainer prior to surgery. We parted ways when I started liquids due to lack of energy. She now does group training on Tues and Thurs and I would love to join the group. Hopefully here in the next few weeks, I can start again. On my list of to dos, I also want to do a 5K. Never done one before and I would like to start small so I can work up to a half marathon. I am going to start walk/jogging next week on my treadmill and then move it outside once I build up some stamina and work on my shin splints.

SIRENA 88 I am only down 12 since my surgery. I lost 10 on the 10 days I was on liquids and 10 prior to that for my Dr.

newdanielle I don't have any great ideas. I eat scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese. I can eat some non mushy things, like moist ham (deli style). I like to eat a slice of ham with a light laughing cow cheese. Oh, and I eat a ton of beans. Tonight I had ground beef with a TBSP of light sour cream for a taco night substitute. It was really good and with the sour cream mixed in, it was quite mushy. I also will have 1oz of mozzeralle cheese as a snack. It is really soft. I had the bloating for quite some time after my sugery but it is gone now.

I like refried and black beans. The Old El Paso traditional are quite reasonable in fat and cal. I mix them with a little water prior to cooking and a little shake of garlic powder.
