14 Weeks Post Op

[Lucii24 5]

I'm feeling so much better now and I've finally got some of my energy back; although its not back one hundred percent yet & I'll find out in February whether I have an under active thyroid, which makes you tired very quickly if you do too much or over doing things ad I have a tendency to do.

My diets particularly the amount of food I'm consuming is still very much up & down & that in itself I'm trying my hardest to fight with as I need to eat lil & often rather than skipping meals completely ad its not good.

My enjoyment for my love of cooking has returned providing I'm not feeling knackered lol.

My dietician cracked me up & quoted what I've detailed below: -

Most Bariatric Patients lose between 65% - 75% of their body weight in the first 12 - 18 months. I've lost 65% of my body weight in the past 3 months.

Now Lucii as your dietician listen carefully because you've been ill on and off for 12 weeks since your operation; over Christmas I want you to sleep & get plenty of rest, eat things high in fat such as chocolate but not enough sugary things in one go to cause you dumping syndrome.

Eat pizza; nuts and fatty foods & as much Protein as you can & have a few glasses of wine. You now must start maintaining your weight for at least a couple of months now, before we want you to lose anymore.

Well I never ever thought I'd hear that from a medical professional in my life time LOL! I understand why tho as I was 15 stone 4lbs & I'm now 11 stone 4lbs which I've lost in 14 weeks & its a lot far too quickly.

Baring in mind I'm only 5ft 2inches & medically the correct weight for my height & bmi is between 8 stone to 8 & a half stone. So in total I've only got another 3 stone to lose before I'm at my target weight.

But everyone keeps telling me that they'll be nothing left of me if I lose another 3 stone. Gonna try to add some of my before & after pictures up now.

I'll keep in touch & let you know whether I've got sn under active thyroid as well as trying to maintain my weight for a couple of months.

Wishing you all love & support & god bless you all.

Kindest Regards
