Feeling great! The scale said 202 this am.
My surgery was on Sept 9, 2009 and I weighed 239 at that time. My weight-loss has slowed down considerably, and I hit my first plateau. I was stuck at 209 for nearly two weeks! The doctor says it's normal and to stop looking at the scale. Today I am at 202 and can't remember the last time I weighed so little.
My energy has returned and I started doing Crossfit on Saturdays. It's Monday now, and my gluts and quads are still sore...but good sore.
Protein has become much easier! I am mixing 1/2 plain whey (Bioplex) and 1/2 flavored whey (Nectar Naturals) together and it's perfect for me! I also found an amazing protein bar at Fred Meyer that is 20 grams protein and 2 sugars. It is fantastic!
I have become very sensitive to the amount of hair that I see going down the drain. I'm not sure, but I think I am losing a little more than usual. It's hard to tell though. Fat and protein are staples in my diet, so it may just be my body responding to the stress of surgery.
What else? Oh yea, I dumped. I've been trying all kinds of food and another RNY friend told me that she can eat croissants when she wants bread. BIG MISTAKE! It only lasted for about 10 or 15 minutes, thank goodness, but I got the cramping, the diarrhea, and the cold/hot sweats. No fun at all.
Several friends at work have signed up for the procedure, and I am so excited for them! We are forming our own little support group at work.
TTFN. See you next month.
