100 days Post Op

Today I'm officially 100 days post-op. I can't believe how much energy I have every morning when I get going. To be honest though by the end of the day I run out of steam pretty quick too. I'm getting anywhere between 700 and 900 calories a day and between 60 and 70 grams of protein. I think I'm doing pretty good on my eating. Lean firm protein like chicken breast is still pretty much a no-go unless I mince it and mix it with something else.

So far my weight continues to come down steadily. I hit 289 this week down from my High weight of 440 and from my surgery weight of 342.

This week's non-scale victories have been moving in the arms of my desk chair and moving up the seat in the car and pulling the steering wheel back towards me -- that feels awesome.

Oh and tonight I went on a 40 minute bike ride

I have started checking out gyms in town. Went for a visit at World Gym today --going to go check out our local Y maybe tomorrow or Monday. We also have a Goodlife in town but the price seems to be really high it would have to be really super special for me to join there.

I hope everyone is having an amazing Saturday. And for those that are struggling at the beginning of their food journey, please know that it does get better. Although I still have trouble with chicken, being able to eat some baby arugula this week was amazing.

Congrats!!

The bike ride must have felt so good!

I am in the pre op liquid diet stage, thank the creator for Protein2o!

Omg congrats!!!!!!!

Congratulations Dilli! That's all amazing!! Your new profile picture looks great too. :)

Way to go!!

Thanks!

Congratulations! Thanks for the 100 day check in. It is exciting all the new things you can do and how it must be easier to breathe! I have had a looong first week of the liquid diet and I must say chicken and baby arugula sounds divine! All the best to you!

Congratulations on your 100 day post-op! I go to Fit 4 less, it's as little as $10 a month for the basic package, and $20 if you want to use the massage bed/chairs and tanning. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

take care, Sonja

Congratulations, Dilli, that is awesome news!

I bet the bike ride was fun! I'm going to go for a ride today. It was raining all week long and I really missed it.

I have trouble with white meat chicken but do great with dark meat chicken, roasted or on the BBQ. I usually add some low cal ranch dressing and hot sauce to it so it has the flavor of hot wings...yum.

WOW!! Awesome, Congrats on your journey!! Keep on keeping on!

Thanks for your kind words everyone!
