Well I can't believe it's June already! I am down to 248.9 lbs and that's a total loss of 38 lbs since my highest weight and about 28 lbs since surgery a month ago. I am trying hard to keep up on all the water, getting the shakes in, vitamins, and eating the right things. This past week it has been hard. I am getting bored with canned chicken, yogurt, scrambled egg beaters and cottage cheese. My surgeon has a very limited list of things I can eat at this point. I can't add anything to the meat except light mayo or mustard and seasonings. No salsa, tomato sauce etc. So I am very limited. I would really love to add slasa to the eggs, or refried beans. I would love to top some light ricotta or cottage cheese with tomato sauce or no sugar added jelly. I have to wait until the 16th to move onto soft foods like chili etc. Then I can have light canned fruit and tomato sauce etc.
Otherwise, i am feeling pretty good. My incisions are just red marks now and I've been putting neospoin on to reduce the scars. I am a bit tired still, but I know that will wear off in the coming weeks. I have been walking a mile or 2 every other day. My insides rumble sometimes after I eat or drink. I still get a lot of gas (both ends) and I wonder if this will be the new normal for me. Or, will it get better as my insides heal and relearn how to work.
All for now,
