June Post Ops!

I got my hospital bill yesterday. Unfortunately my insurance wouldn't cover a penny of the surgery as any treatment for obesity was an exclusion. I knew this before surgery of course. I drove 8 hours to have my surgery in Mississippi because the cost was significantly less for cash pay than in Tennessee! I was looking to buy my first condo or house here in Nashville but this was way more important! I'm only 24 so I have plenty of time.

I'm only at 45 today and I'm totally stuffed. I can't eat another bite. I have a strawberry and a lil cool whip free in the fridge waiting for me but its not gonna fit.

I have 56 in so far. I've decided to start making my own Protein "shots". I can't handle a full 8oz shake, so I mixed up a scoop of powder with 1/4 cup milk and shot'er down a little at a time. It was thick and gross, but done quickly enough. Lol 16 grams of protein in quickly is nice! I've decided that I'm jut going to do them 4 times a day from now on. A lot easier than sipping that sh** all freaking day! !

Yes, and to top it off I just made a yummy smoothie!

banana cream pie yogurt

French vanilla carnation powdered milk

Skim milk

Couple of teaspoons of sugar free cheesecake pudding

Ice

My son is drinking it and lives it. Got my Protein up to 80!

Great day for us!

Now, if you girls can help me figure out exercise, I will be set!

I bought some whey Protein Shots and they are 42 grams of protein. They are nasty, but I divided it up in my Water and drank it in 2 (32ounce) cups of water.

One thing I really miss is chugging a bottle of Water. I was usually instantly hydrated. Now I'm lucky if I can finish one before it gets warm. I usually take a big swig and swallow it down in a couple of gulps but its not the same. ????

I got 64 grams of Protein in today. Yahoo! I need to drink 2 more glasses of Water and it will have been a perfect day!

It was like my pouch finally relaxed today and I was able to eat more than just a couple bites. I actually got in about 81 grams of protein!

I dumped on watermelon Sunday night. It was my first dumping episode and felt horrible. I have been eating it for a week but always after a high Protein meal. Sunday night I had it without any protein and I paid dearly. I suggest if you do have it to eat it after protein.

2.5 weeks out and I've been stalled 3 days so far.. I expected to stall next week but is this to soon to stall? I've only been able to get in about 30g of Protein a day and I'm pushing myself to do more. The clinic says just to try a little more each day. And I haven't walked the last two days so I'm going to make sure I do it tomorrow!
