3 week update... And no, I don't eat popcorn. ;)
just sharing an update!Had surgery on August 10th and everything has been pretty uneventful. I'm on mushies now and have been enjoying soft cheeses, eggs, refried beans and such. I'm so thankful that I haven't had any food issues yet. Everything goes down fine!
I noticed in this last week I can consume a bit more, swelling has gone down.
Things I can eat in one sitting are:
1-2 ounces of cheese.
Almost 1/2c creamed soup
2-3tbs of refried beans
A little over 1/4c yogurt
4 overcooked baby carrots
1 egg with a sprinkle of cheese
I have to get some Greek yogurt and give that a try to increase my protein
Water is going down good and I'm able to get in my daily goal just fine. I can surprisingly drink a bigger sip now than I thought I would.
As far as weight goes. I've been stalled since I was 1.5 weeks out. Since surgery I lost 15lbs.
That's about it.. I feel great and have started light exercise. Just walking my kiddos to the bus stop. No pictures to share this time. Next week I will have some!
Hope my other sleeve sisters and brothers are doing good!
