Day 11. Peptic Anarectic



Recommended Posts

Hoo boy am I ever not hungry. I woke up this morning not being hungry, wandered through the morning not being hungry, drank a Vitamin Water containing a Nexium and then started on another one. It occurred to me in the shower that it would be completely easy to go fully lowcarb now because I do not give a stuff about food. And I realized I was much more comfortable with nothing but Water in me anyway. Protein seems to have a set of consequences that make me feel like I've had an operation of some kind.

I can see the brilliant frankengenius in this surgery. The last time I was like this I was fifteen years old and eating a Marlboro Light and a Fresca for Breakfast. I'm on the verge of skipping the thin liquid stage and just powering through the next ten days on Sobe Lifewater and valium.

I guess that depends on whether you want to stay stalled or you want to actually lose weight. ;-P

Your plan, though it has a sort of romance to it, will send your body into survival mode sure as shootin' . You need that Protein, I am sorry to tell you... to protect your muscles and to start your body using the fat deposits for fuel- and I am quite sure you wan that or you would not have had 85% of your stomach removed!

Pssst, by the way, you did have an operation ;-P

Meggie is right. You can add unflavored Protein Powder to sobe life Water.< /p>

I did. I got it at GNC. You need Protein. Your body needs protein.

Thank you both. You are most excellently right. I never thought about adding Injury to SoBe Water but I'll keep working on it seriously.

It's just so amazing to simply not. want. food.

I am seriously thinking of getting only unflavored Unjury and just adding it to things I like - broth, flavored waters and the likes. Because watery chocolate malt doesn't appeal.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
