4 weeks out, not too many complaints

[CubsWinCubsWin 108]

I've been laying low for the past couple weeks after surgery. I have not had much to complain about. I have the occasion bout or twinge of pain or discomfort but they did just remove a vast majority of a vital organ in my body. You gotta let it heal and let your body bitch and moan about it just a bit as it adjusts to this new reality.

Anyway, since I started this entire process with liquid diet on Feb 13 and Surgery on Feb 28th, I have lost a total of 40 pounds thus far. I do not have the energy I'd like and I have been lucky enough to have time off from work to sleep it off as best I can. I currently eat 4 times a day a diet of greek yogurt, tuna and eggs (not all mixed together, that might be gross). At some point I may add a vegetable in the next week.

That's all I have for now, keeping it simple because after the surgery you have no choice. I will continue to heal and lose weight as I eat properly and exercise.

My surgery was on March 6th and I started on my liquid diet on February 20th. I've lost 37 pounds since starting the liquid diet. I feel absolutely great. I can eat anything I want. The biggest problem I've had is eating too much a few times and getting sick as a result. I'd do this again 100,000 times over. Way to go CubsWin. You're doing great.

Getting to the 4th week sure does make a huge difference. Before now I thought I was going to die and wondered what I did to myself. I wasn't one of the lucky ones that had it easy with no discomforts. I ended up in the ER at day 4. Anyway I am feeling great now it really does just take time. I have only lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks, but I only have 50-60 lbs to lose anyway so I'm happy with that. I don't eat much mostly cottage cheese and yogurt. Haven't tried meat yet, but I have the tuna cans ready.

tuna and eggs is delish. hard boil an egg. mix no or low fat may with the yoke and dice up the white add celery and some onion if you can handle it and mix together. you can substitute may for greek yogurt . it's really good and packed with Protein
