May 24 Surgery Day

[ChooChi73 59]

Hey y'all. This journey has been, insanely crazy (in a good way). My weightless started really low. At least for what I thought it would be. I started jogging/walking about 3 weeks ago, and I've been so happy with the results. I have now lost 47 lbs from my weight right when I started my 10 day pre-op diet and 31.6 since surgery. It's been almost 2 months. I feel so energetic, and amazing!!!

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

So yesterday, I made chili cheese fries for dinner... I used my non stick pan and sprayed a little Pam on it. I "fried" the fries and then I put fat free turkey chili on top and 1/4 cup cheese. It was SO good. Not as good as the fast food, but I enjoyed every bit of it. And it gave me 20 grams of Protein. Still not enough calories but I'm getting fun with with cooking stuff now.

By the way... I cut the fries very small so they'd cook fast.

you can eat fries? i cant have any carbs untill 6 monthes

Yes, I can have potato.. but I baked it before I "fried" it... I just wanted then to have that crispy fried taste

My doctor told me not to eat more than 50 grams of carbs. I'm usually very low.. in the 30's. My calories still don't go past 500. And I'm averaging my Protein at 75-80. @@Lana R.

What is the name of the Vitamins?

So sorry... I got ahead of myself..

I bought 2 months worth too, but I can't stand my Vitamins. Currently on the patch, but if I can take them orally, I think it might be better.

I started using the Patches as well. The chewable ones make me so nauseous. I do have a problem with the patches coming off at night. When I asked my nutritionist about them she said they like to have the blood work done at a year and year and a half because that is when Vitamin levels are measured the best.

I would love to have them. I think I've decided after talking to the Vitamin Shoppe guy tonight that I'm not gonna take gummies anymore.
