How You Doing?

[msshep7 5]

Today is 29 days in week 4, minus 14lbs., 1 fill completed. I feel fine but my energy level is down and I am very hungry. I have no restriction yet. This is not an easy journey. I must admit that I have not begin to exercise. How are you doing?

I'm 8 wks post-op today. I get hungry a few days after a fill because the band relaxes a little. My dietician/nurse told me that if I felt like I could eat a cup of food, to do it. I don't like that. LOL. So...sometimes I snack on low-carb, high-protein cheese or mix up a Protein Shake or drink more Water to stave off the hunger. I started light exercise within a couple of weeks of my surgery...mainly just walking. Now I'm up to jogging some on the treadmill and back to my weight & ab machines.

Best wishes and blessings to you!

Today I am 4 weeks plus 1 day. I actually feel very good. I do get hungry but at 4-5 hours which is when we are supposed to I think. I eat only solid Protein and something else small. I stay at about 3/4 cup per meal. I have not been exercising and I know I should but am just not motivated in the evenings.

I am down about 19 lbs so far which I love but I do struggle with one thing....bm's. I can't seem to get anything "moving" regularly.

I am 3 weeks post-op tomorrow and down 30 lbs (counting pre-op). I am doing pretty good. I do get hungry between meals but I just drink lots of Water to combat it. I am walking with my fiancé on the weekends tons but not much really other than that. I am clear for the pool in one more week and as my pool is heated and hot tub is amazing I am very excited to start swimming! I have a free gym at my apartment as well but don't like going by myself so unless I find a work out buddy I'm not gonna do that at least for now. I still get sore around my port sometimes but over all doing really well. Getting my first fill this Saturday so hopefully I won't have to "white knuckle" it so much!
