3 week surgiversary & 1 week stalliversary

Aug 25, 2010

Well, it's 3 weeks now, and I am feeling better (purees has been a nightmare though). I can see how much more energy I have now compared to a week ago, but I still tire out easily. I am down almost 22 pounds, but I have been in a stall since last Thursday. I had read quite a few posts from people in a stall early out, and I had hoped it wouldn't happen to me, but here I sit. It sucks. Even though I know WHY we stall early on, it still sucks. I can't wait to see the scale move again!

Food wise things are slow going. I can only eat about one ounce of food at each meal, and that is consumed over 30 minutes. I get full very fast. I still haven't found a protein supplement that I can stomach, so I am always short on my protein. Fluids have been a challenge, too. I never was much of a drinker - pre-op all I would drink in one day was a cup of coffee and MAYBE one glass of water or Crystal Light. Now I am averaging only 16 oz of beverages a day. I KNOW I need to get in more just like I KNOW I need to get in more protein. I'm just taking one day at a time an doing my best.

I have met some wonderful people on here and I just want to say THANK YOU for all your support and enouragement! This is a great board!
