Day 20 with heat rashes and pain

So today I noticed I have another heat rash.. It's my underarm.. Its extremely painful but not as intense as the one under my belly and thighs. I felt like a baby was ripping through every single pore in all of the regions. lol literally burning and swelling all over the place. It is worrying me because I think I might be losing weight too fast. I mean I am still fairly new to the band. I regret letting myself get this far before I decided I needed help... weight wise. I watched some body sculpting surgeries and it honestly freaked me out. I know for sure I am going to need the following: arm lift, boob lift, corset trunkplasty, thigh lift, ankle lipo, my calves might need a little lipo, a but lift/transfer of fat to reshape my bottom. I don't think I will be able to get around having most of that done. I am still early in the game to think about it, but it is something I am going to have to face.

 

I am still not eating enough protein.. I know, I know... 60-80grams a day. pffff I can't even get to 600 cals still. I had half of 1/2 cup of oatmeal for breakfast. for lunch I had one salmon patty. and for dinner I had One chicken tamale(I peeled off most of the "shell".) Tomorrow I am going to the store to by my meals for the week. That way I can make healthier choices and buy more protein induced foods. Anyone tried asparagus ? I want to try it but I don't know how to cook it or how it taste. does it taste like broccoli or string beans??

 

I think I am still drinking too fast. I haven't puked or felt like something got stuck. I am just so damn thirsty. My job doesn't have air right now and its been 98-104 degrees. So I have been trying to sip but I know im not getting 64oz of water per day. Even my sleep is jacked up. I know that my band and I will start to work together and things will be better but for now things are not going so smooth. it could be worse, I could still be 380lbs. I can't wait to weight myself. First goal is to get to 299. It looks like I might end up losing over 100lbs in one year.. im more than half way there already and I still have five months left. I just have to keep telling myself that I am fighting for my life and that I can do this.

For rashes I swear by Gold Bond. Or call your doctor for suggestions.

As for heat at work, can you supply your own fan?

No one said getting in the proper amount of protein and liquids is easy at the beginning but it does get easier. I am an over drinker, so I am up all night peeing.

Have you tried mixing protein powder into your oatmeal? May help get the protein up. Good luck!

Yes I like asparagus, but have not tried it since banding. Chose skinny stalks (too big and they are woody), and cut the ends off - they can be tough too. I have steamed it, boiled it and my favourite was roasting it in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and light sprinkle of a coarse salt. You can microwave it too in a dish with a bit of water.

Hi! I always(I say always lightly. :) since I have had the band) use whey powder in my oatmeal. I also started using a couple of raisins too. eating has gotten better. In fact I feel as thought I haven't been banded. hopefully in 13 more days I go to get my first fill.
