Concerned
I have read a lot of the blogs and am wondering if I am doing things wrong because I have not stalled yet. I am 18 days post op and am still losing weight average about 1 to 2 lbs a day. What is wrong with me or the diet that I have not stalled?
I weighted 341 when I started this journey, before surgery I lost about 14lbs just by changing how long it took to eat my meals. They didn't tell to diet before surgery just thought I better get in the habit of eating slower. Since my surgery I have gone from 337 to 305 another 32lbs down. I am trying to do all the right things but am having trouble getting all the protein in. I have been using shots of protein to make up for what I am not getting in the shakes. Could this be the cause of NOT stalling I wonder.
I was told I could have soft purred foods at 2 weeks but they don't seem to light my new stomach at all. The food just lies there like a lump making me want to throw up.
I have found that if I eat just 1 meal (an egg) and 2 shakes a day I feel much better. Is this wrong? I don't know.
I don;t see much difference in my body shape, but I need a rope to keep my pants up lol. I did however manage to get into a size 26 pant compared to my 28's the other day, "Yeah" and my shirts are a bit loser so I guess that is a good sign.
My health was the reason for taking this journey. I was and still am in bad shape. The best news ever was the fact that I no longer have to take insulin shots everyday and my blood sugars are in the normal range again ( low 100's ). I am still concerned that I have not been able to swallow any pills yet, as I do have meds that I should be taking. My blood pressure and moods have not yet improved much, but that is because I can't take those pills yet. Oh well step by step day by day with Jesus is all I can hope for right now.
So much for my boo who;s today. May God bless and Keep us all healthy and continuing to lose in the New Year.
