11 week update!

Hi, I am 11 weeks postop. Down 55 pounds and have lost 44.25 inches. I am down to size 16-18 from size 22-24. I have lots more energy now. I feel so much better than I did preop. I am able to bend and move easier. Today I shaved my legs in the shower and had NO trouble. I am eating fine! I usually am pretty good about my protein and water. Today for breakfast I had a 2 egg omlet with cheese and real bacon bits for about 22g of protein. Later I will have some Salmon and veggies for lunch. I will probably have some yogurt with ground flax seed and some carb countdown chocolate milk today also. Don't know what I will eat for dinner yet. I am getting in my vitamins. I am noticing I need to help my skin and hair out though. I have added the flax seeds and am taking biotin also to hopefully help. I am able to have an occational treat, like yesterday I ate a fun sized reeses! It felt fine in my tummy. I don't eat many things with sugar or high carbs, but I do have them occationally. Luckily my tastes have changed post op and I don't really crave junk food much. Now I crave things like salad and oranges. I have had some salad, but can't eat alot. I have been eating alot of those clementine oranges lately also. One will fill me up, but it tastes sooooo good. I am also craving bananas, but haven't tried one yet. I ate some raisin bran a few days ago because it sounded good. I only got about 5-6 bites in and was STUFFED, but it stayed down and tasted good. I am still not able to eat much bread or pastas and rices (only a few bites here and there). I hope everyone else is having a great day! Robin G DS 10/26/04 249/194/130

way to go!!!

Great!! I've had banana and have been okay. It sounds like you have been in good control!! Great Weight Loss!

I am 13 weeks out and down 63lbs. I eat bananas and oranges all the time. I do much better on fruits and veggies than I do meats. Keep up the good work. It sounds like you on the right track.
