Chef 10

75 pounds in 7 months. Haven't felt this good in 25 years. In a plateau at the moment, but trying to make good choices everyday.

Had my surgery on Monday. My pain only lasted a few days. Gas-X really helped for me. Not even taking Tylenol anymore. The more you move around the better. Small sips of beverages was the key for me to not overload. Not having any problems getting my required amount of liquids. Right now only doing one to one and a half protein shakes a day with a coffee cup full of strained cream soup. Hot decaf tea really helped me. My doctor told me it would be hard to get 60 plus grams of protein in the first week just to shoot for 30 to 40. I'll be on liquids and soups until next Thursday for my post-op appointment.

Surgery at 7:30 this morning. Sleeve . Feeling okay. Not much pain, able to drink fluids well. Walking laps around the nurses stations. Should be able to go home tomorrow.
