I'm getting hungrier and hungrier. I can eat more and more. I'm really trying to keep my portions smaller and I am sticking to the diet for the most part. I'm eating more and more mushy then pureed but everything is going down ok.
I have an appointment on Friday (my phone says it's on Friday but I really think it's on thursday) with the nutritionist and then 2 weeks later I get to see the surgeon and talk about a fill. He wants me on solid foods before getting a fill.
So I am now down 21.5 pounds. I can't believe it! I know I'm eating less calories and I should be losing but 21.5 pounds in 20 days just seems crazy! I still can't believe I'm banded half the time. I think that's why it gets harder to stick tothe post op diet, I don't feel any different most of the time. There are times I think I can feel the band and I can definitely see and feel my port but I still forget about the band.
I'm feeling great. My pre-op jeans are too big. Good thing I have 10 sizes of jeans! I started as a size 20 in jeans. I'm now in an 18! I have sizes 6-22 in my closet. The 6s and 8s aren't mine, they're Shannon's but they're still available for when I get there. I'm not trying to be a 6 but an 8 or a 10 would be fantastic!!
Great work! I hope the hungries go away for you. I too am just amazed that I have actually lost almost a pound a day. It's all worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteA pound a day is amazing. That's like biggest loser amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a little farther ahead than you and she has to try really hard to eat normal portions. She had 3 weeks of a post op liquid diet, but now is on to regular foods and has gained 5 pounds back, so she is at a total of 15 pounds lost (was 20). Until you guys get some restriction this is just going to be difficult!! GOOD LUCK! Joey and I will be joining you in Bandland in a week!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Those are great numbers! :) And I love that little guy from WW!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby loves the monster from the WW commercials. He says it looks like the big red monster from looney toons years ago. The one where Bugs Bunny stays in the hotel with Dracula......you know.....abra ca pocus. :D
