Week 2: I think I can do this!



Recommended Posts

Well....actually I already did it!

I am 2 weeks post op today and weighed in at 304.5 lbs! That is down 26.5 lbs from my 'season' high of 331 lbs. I have to be honest with all of you....I haven't really been walking or working out like I should. I want to wait until I am sub 300. I am close - so I may shop for a new 'bike' this weekend.

Not too much pain to report. I can touch my port and it sometimes touches me back. Especially when I am working at a desk. I also started having some back pain (mid-level) on the left side. I am not sure what that is from but is aches. I think maybe a massage or an adjustment is needed.

My trip to the Rose Bowl went well. I had plenty to drink and eat. A friend of mine made a terrific lobster bisque. I was full watching the game and had plenty of cold Water. I snuck in a Jello Protein shot at halftime.

I have been having a love affair with Soup and Cottage cheese since my doctor removed my liquid restriction. No PBing, Sliming, or anthing. My daily intake is the following:

Breakfast: Protien shake

Lunch: Soup

Snack: Protien Shake

Dinner: Soup

Desert: Cottage Cheese!!!!

Also, I will be 38 tomorrow!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
