My Progress so far

[Michelle Cicerello 6]

Today I feel pretty good, I was able to go to GNC and get some Protein Powder and drinks and my Vitamins. We then went to Target because I needed a few other things, but I was not able to make it through without being in some major pain so I had to go sit out in the car while my husband finished shopping.

I am getting in my fluids, and today I Have started my Protein and am slowly getting that in as well. I am starting to get up and around alot easier and I am hoping that by the end of the weekend it will be even better!

One of the things I bought was a scale and I found that the weight I have lost up to today, including my 2 week pre op diet is 41. I lost 36 pounds on my two week pre op diet and I have lost 5 since I had surgery on Monday. I am really happy about that

Now I just need to go and figure out how to get a ticker working in my signature.

Hope your all having a wonderful weekend!

Good Job Michelle! I, too, went to the store with my husband and had to go sit in the car!! But, because my bp was 110/52. I was really pale and felt faint!! I was really hot and sweaty and once I got outside felt better! It was damn hot in that Walmart! We then went to the grocery and I was much much better there because I was much cooler in there!!

I think I need to stop taking my bp medication now. YAY, but need to email my dr. about it first. For the past 2 days I have felt light headed like that! I am glad that I will soon be off my meds, but I hate that feeling!

Keep rockin' your sleeve gurl! You are doing great!

Hugs!

Kelly

Hi, Michelle! WOW!! 41 pounds!!! That is so groovy!!! Glad you are doing so well postop. I went to the mall today and walked. Got some Vit E cream at GNC. While window shopping I thought about how I would look in those small Misses sizes--been 20 yrs or so since I could even begin to fit in those small, slinky clothes. Then I thought about my social life--dating. Have not done that in alot of yrs either. Maybe I will get that chance again someday. Anyhow, I bought my Protein and Vitamins at costco and Walgreens. Have also got soymilk and Almond Breeze. I am not sure I can mix shakes with those, however. I lost 5 pounds on my own, then they gave me pre and post op diets, so am now doing the Protein regimen. Have lost about 3 pounds in almost 3 days. No telling how skinny my liver is gonna be at surgery!! Keep up the great work. I know you will be stronger each day!! Take care.

Yippee! I am glad you are doing well. The pain can ge bad, can;t it?

Did you find a good unflavored Protein powder by any chance? I ran out of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored and since I got put on clears liquids plus Protein drinks I really need it for my broth.

I finally opened that red velvet thread and maybe we can keep it alive and keep posting so we all stay together.

Meggie, I havent found a good unflavored powder yet, but I did find a good premade Protein drink, its Isopure and so far I love the grape frost - it has to be cold though, and then its really quite good, its 40 grams of Protein and 20 oz of Fluid - I did get the big tub of Isopure powder in chocolate flavor as the guy at GNC said it tasted really good, and if I didnt like it I could bring it back -

How are you and Kelly doing today? I am finding that today is a big day as my incision is not hurting nearly as much when I am up and around -

I am NOT regretting doing this, I think its probably the best decision I could have ever made for myself! I am excited to see what the future holds for the new and healthier me!

Hope your all having a fabulous day!!

Hi Michelle, congrats and best of luck For the ticker, go to anyone ticker and click on it, it will open a webpage to choose your own, as you click through the styles you like and save, you'll come to the end and choose the bbcode, right click and copy. Then on the vsg website, click on your signed in name, my settings, profile, change signature, edit signature, clear whats in there, then right click again to copy and paste, then save changes. You can edit your weight change through the ticker site you created to update as you lose. Hope this helps

Hi Michelle!!

I am doing good today too!! Thanks for asking!

I am sitting here eating my yogurt. I don't appear to be as pale or light headed today which makes me feel better!

My left side is REALLY BRUISED today!! Looks as if someone has beat me with a bat and feels like I have been kicked in the ribs!! But, my gas is finally diminishing and that makes me feel so much better!

I am feeling more hunger today. I haven't been hungry so far, which I guess is good, but I hear that when I can progress to mushies, I will feel more restriction. I still have 10 days of full liquids to go.

Hope you are doing well also!

Go Red Velvet Gang!!

HUGS!!

get off your bp meds. That happened to me, too, and I'm still battling low bp with no meds for over a week. I have a doctor monitoring it, but it is so hard to find energy when it's low! Good luck to you!
