Just saying hello to all

Been snowed or iced in for two days. lucky I got groceries on Sunday.  Cooking pot roast and made it into swiss steak , portioned it and frozen for work lunches. Today making tukey mushroon meatballs / small meatloafs really. Using my new silicone pumpkin shaped pans ( like small cupcake sized) will freeze for quick suppers and lunches. My one month appt has yet to happen with Dr Scott, first I got sick and then today the appt is cancelled because of ice. So Monday is the day.  Accoding to my scale (it seemed to only differ post op by 2 pounds from the office scale) says I am down - pre op 433 Day of surgery 410 1week 402 and now my scale says CW 375.  I want it to be more and faster but this is good.  there are sooooo many body changes going on, I am having trouble walking due to pain, numbness in my right thigh and I am falling down I guess my center of gravity is changing. Do you all think an evaluation with a trainer would help?  Reply with a Hey if you all have time. Maja in St Louis, MO

Maja,
Great results. I'm excited for you. I had lots of issues with the changing center of my body gravity so I think you're probably normal. I think a trainer is always a good idea if you have the time to work with one. Sounds like you are getting prepared for going back to work. At one month out I could not eat what you are fixing but every Doctor has a different food plan and in the end they all work fine.
Be sure to drink your water and take your vitamins.
Hugs,
Lana

I think my eatingis moving along faster maybe because it is a VSG I am recovering from and not RNY- I have no re routing of the intestines. Just an increibly small stomach.  I need to eat small amts and chew chew chew and eat slowly, difficult fo me I was a volume eater and fast eater.   Only got sick once cause I ate too fast, too much and not chewed enough.  A good cough it it was all over. Have not had chicken since  - puts a bad taste in my mouth for now.  The food I cooked will not be eaten just now.  I eat a lost of pudding with protein powder  and jello - still feels good in my tummy.  I found orange, pineapple and grapefruit protein power mixes on bariwise.com with 12 grams of protein and zero carbs, I mix with icy orange isopure.  And I mix grape frost isopure with diet cranberry juice to sip on for a treat. adds losts of ice to dilute. Thanks for the response. Maja

You are really doing great!!  I couldn't eat chicken for about the first 6 months.  Turkey is just nasty to me, can't stand the smell of it cooking either.  I can eat deli turkey.  I stay away from deli meats because of the additives.  Wish I liked Isopure but I just don't.  Maybe I should try it with the cranberry juice.  I bought some whey liquid protein this week, added it to water but I don't like it.  I'm so tired of shakes.

It's really strange how our tastes change.  I don't like the smell of fried foods nor the taste which is good.  If I don't like the taste, there's no way I can swallow the food.
