March 12Th 2012 I Was Sleeved!

[Renee14 1]

Well! This is my first post. A happy one I might add! I was sleeved on Mar 12th weighing in at 304lbs. I am 2 weeks and one day post op and I am 283lbs. I am finding now that I am on puréed foods, I find myself wanting to eat a bit more. I'm scared that I will fall into my old habits. I am constipated which sucks arse lol. I am thinking I may have to use Metamucil or something in my Protein Shakes as I'm sure Constipation is not good at this point.

I am consuming about 69-80 grams of Protein a day, a litre of Water and two puréed meals along with a snack (jello or Popsicle) per day, give or take.

I've been given the okay to start back to the gym at week 4, only to get my heart rate up, now has anyone started sooner than the 4 weeks? My reasoning in asking this is because I feel great and I know I don't want to push it but I feel that I could go back now and start the elliptical. Not hardcore intense by all means but at least to get my heart rate up a bit. Also, did any of you suffer from any dizziness due to less calorie intake?

All the feed back in the world will help. Also if you have any good puréed food plans with high fibre and protein to share, please do.

Thanks for reading and I hope that I keep you posted on my success. I will post a before pic shortly.

Cheers, Renee
