2 Months Post Op

[Kay07 734]

I can hardly believe this as I write this, but I tomorrow I will be officially 2 months post op. It's like it doesn't even compute in my brain. The first week post op felt like a month. The next almost 2 months felt like a week. I am proud of myself for making it this far.

Now I will admit, it wasn't easy. It went quick, but certainly wasn't easy. The one aspect that I truly underestimated was the fact that eating would be problematic. Not eating itself, my sleeve is pretty much made of Iron and could tolerate things I honestly had no business tolerating (solid food 3 weeks out? No problem! Steak? Easy Peasy! Broccoli? Delicious!) but be that as it may, my struggle has been with food. Not tolerating it... but actually remembering to consume it! It has honestly been my biggest struggle to date. I have to have reminders on my phone just to remember to eat my packed lunches. I have zero hunger. I am at times to lazy to eat. Never thought I'd say that...

So despite that, how am I doing? Pretty damn good if I do say so myself! I am down 62lbs since I started on this WLS journey, and 35lbs since surgery. I will say my loss has slowed fairly significantly, since I dropped 20 or that 35 in the first two weeks, but that's okay! I've increased my activity so its to be expected.

So what are my next steps? Fitness! I've joined Orange Theory Fitness, the first class broke me. I still wonder if I actually died that day and exist as a very convincing ghost. Who knows. But I'm going again tomorrow because I apparently love suffering. Wish me luck!

How is everyone else doing? Still hitting your Protein goals? Still drinking shakes? (I make my own and they are muuuuch more satisfying then drinking the RTD ones straight. Still take them in my coffee though )

What a great post! 6 months post bypass, I still forget to eat. And when I do eat I don’t ever eat until I feel ‘full’ I don’t think - I sort of lose interest and stop eating before I consume too much!!

Well done you - keep up the good work!!

What orange theory did you join? Burlington?

[Kay07 734]

Technically I joined the Leominster one, but I went to the Burlington one both the other day and today since mine isn’t open yet. My body is currently broken, but the masochist in me is super pumped by his beat up I feel!
