Post Op day 16
I have been doing really good. I went to the support group in Rancho Cucamonga and they really helped me.
They really focused on getting enough protein and the 64 ounces of liquids. You can dehydrate and have problems. I also met a 34 year old lady who has lost 130 pounds in a little over a year. She followed a South Beach Diet type of plan. Lots of water and exercise.
I want to follow in her footsteps.
They also told me to make sure I am getting over 1000 calories a day or else I will go into starvation mode and you can't lose weight in starvation mode.
I added pureed chili beans with cheese and that got me to 1000 yesterday. I am also focusing on my liquid intake.
I am also going to start the South Beach diet on Saturday when I can have solids. I still have not weighed in,but was able to squeeze my butt into size 12 slacks!!! My 14's that were tight are not fitting me well anymore. I am looking for for non scale victorys.
Today I have eaten/drank:
Breakfast: 1 cup Gano Coffee (healthy coffee) with soy milk and carnation good start breakfast: 230 cal, 11 grams of protein
Liquids: 20 ounces of vitamin water: 125 calories
vitamins: 1 tbsp. of Glacial Milk liquid vitamins.
