2 Months and Counting... Wishes

[wishes 125]

Here we go again! Hope all my September Spitfires are doing well!

Well, November 1st marks my 2 month surgiversary. Things are definitely a lot different now than 1 month out.... Hello, real food! I can't tell you how much I missed real chicken... and I am becoming the biggest fan of the Good Wives hors d'oeuvres since they have like Thai style peanut chicken satay and bacon wrapped scallops. I still do at least 1 Protein Shake a day. Normally, the Premier Protein shake to give my Protein a high boost for the day.

I started my weight loss surgery journey at 271 lbs with a BMI of 48. As of today, I weigh 200.2 lbs, and it is killing me. I haven't lost anything in over 5 days! Ah, the perils of losing weight in a staircase fashion. However, the silver lining in this is..... I'M LESS THAN HALF A POUND AWAY FROM ONEDERLAND! And I have lost 47% of my excess weight.

Most of the weight was dropped pre-op, but as of today I have lost 29 of the 71 I have lost are post-op.

October 1st: 18

November 1st: 11

Best so far:

I feel just like normal. I just eat smaller portions of soft foods. I am really enjoying being full at just a couple ounces of food and being able to fit in to some size 16s and 18s. I feel awesome. I also love being able to walk around Busch Gardens with my boyfriend and not worry about being ready to pass out because I am so out of shape.

Worst so far:

I have trouble getting more than 64 ounces of decaffeinated fluids a day which is only bad if I working out or doing a lot of activity. There are some days I am ready to pass out. Also, when the scale doesn't move, but that is just me complaining, lol.

Can't wait to see where the next month takes me!

P.S. Photos this time! 1st one is me at 257 at a friends b-day party and the second was taken last Monday at 202.

P.S.S. Please send some good vibes my mom's way, she is having the VSG on November 3rd.

I didnt get the fluids thing down pat until 6 months out but you gotta just keep trying, mix it up try Decaf iced tea, crystal light, special k2o, koolaid mixed with splenda, G2, you getkeep trying till you get there. Everyday it is a new start to get in your fluids.

You are doing great!

Thanks everyone! It really has been an amazing two months. I am so excited to see what the next one brings. Hopefully, I can pick it up a little so I can hit my xmas goal. Also, thanks for sending the good vibes my mom's way. I am really worried for her tomorrow.

@Geeeewhy: Yeah, he always asks if I am the shrinking woman yet. I still say no.

Thanks everyone! My mom is doing well. She is in recovery now, hopefully will get to go home tomorrow. The surgeon said everything went great and it was a textbook surgery.
