3 days and I will be a full month POST OP, I am down 43lbs and on my stahl currently.. Still having a hard time with my protein but Im pushing myself to make sure I can get enough in for the day.. I have been learning what it is like to NOT eat due to my feelings (its been hard) but Im learning that not every feeling means I have a excuse to shovel fat in my face currently I have started expressing myself threw my pen and paper... I no that its a much healthier way of dealing with the stress that is in my life. I HOWEVER am ready to start regular foods, I like to freeze my shakes into ice cream and eat it with a spoon but I would give anything to just have some regular High protein foods, a couple more weeks and then that will be something I will be ready for, this week I start some strength training me and the gym will get a long well this journey is crazy but I am making it <3

Hi - be careful with the strength training... I was reminded by my body and my nurse that I have had major surgery and cannot join the gym for 5 months! I had lifted just a couple of light boxes and ended up in great pain. You need time to heal - just walk, walk and walk. I was told NO resistance training, none, no weights etc. I have made the mistake of moving boxes more than once and paid dearly each time. So check with your doctor/nurse before starting any exercises. I struggle with protein too but it has gotten better now that I am 7 weeks out - eating chicken & protein bars very slowly with many chews.
