One Month Update
Well here I am one month later Surgery was on Nov 9th.
In the last 30 days I have lost over 25 lbs from my pre op weigh in. I Feel fantastic and am slowly learning how to get all my Protein in. Recovery was very fast and I was up and doing light housework in 4 days (Including 2 days at the hospital).
The hardest part for me at this point is trying to eat enough. The whole never feeling hunger thing is pretty cool. I love being able to say to NO when people ask if I am hungry.
I have stuck very close to my plan and found out that the small of pizza no longer agrees with me after we had family over and they brought pizza for dinner, I had to leave the room. The one thing my nutritionist stressed to me was I can still eat all the same foods as I could before, I just eat much less of them. I was never a big popcorn,chip person before and I have not really touched them in the last month. I did have a small brownie one evening at a Christmas event, but other than that I eat protein first and veg second if I can fit it in. I have not touched anything caffeinated in over a month and nothing carbonated, although I have been tempted by beer.
This month has gone so well I cannot wait to see how the next month goes. My only regret is not doing this sooner. As of today my BMI is 30.6 and I look forward to only being overweight in the new year or sooner.
