3 months Post-Op Tomorrow

[JohnGraySmiley 88]

Started my journey early March by meeting with surgeon & his team. Completed all psych, nutrition, exercise, medical processes by mid April. Surgery was May 10 & as of yesterday I have lost 26% excess body weight, which is 41 lbs.

I lost 11 lbs pre-op (10 weeks) and 24-25 lbs post-op.

Still learning what foods work. Some meats give me a tough time. My Protein Shakes are my new bff

Hope everyone else's journey is going well!

Well done! Congrats on your 3 months post op

My op was early March 2016, and I lost 55 Ibs (25 kg).

I have occasional problems with beef, so I don't eat it often, yet veal is OK. I find fish and chicken the best for me, as well as yoghurt.

I recently discovered that soy sauce also does not agree with me, makes me bloated and full of gas. I love sashimi style salmon, but can't dip it in soy sauce.

Yes, it is a learning curve with which foods are OK versus troublesome foods. I also tried a scone/muffin, and this almost made me sick. I was so nauseous after eating only half of it.

For me, I tolerate well the good foods, healthy ones. Processed ones and sugary baked stuff does not agree with me, and chocolate gave me an awful reflux, just as well, as I was a chocaholic before.

Tried ice-cream few times, and all that sugar put me to sleep, was so tired afterwards. I am staying away from both ice-cream and frozen yoghurt, as they are both trigger foods for me, and once I start, I find it hard to stop.

Having fruit instead now for deserts. I love all the melons now.
