So I'm almost two months post-op and am doing well. I'm down to 265 and I'm excited about the weight loss. It's been a gradual loss and more getting used to my new bowel movements. What I haven't seen in weight loss I have seen in inches lost and clothes fitting looser. With my surgery the major thing is protein intake and my surgeon would prefer my intake be less from supplements and more from actual meals. I had an honest conversation about my hang ups on food intake. To be honest I feel like I'm constantly eating and I know its for my benefit but its hard to shake all the negative associations. My inner voice tells me I'm eating too much and I resort back to old habits of having one to two meals a day, which added to my weight gain. I might take him up on the offer to speak to a nutritional physchologist, but kinda getting tired go getting referred for therapy. I know I have issues but I have little time to take a hold of them. My depression has peaked during this time especially when I had a stall in the beginning and I was so upset at myself for failing with this surgery. I stopped the obsessive weighing of myself and try to get three meals a day. I did add an exercise coach into my routine. It's not intense but its strength training so I'm able to commit to twice a week for twenty min. I did get my blood work results and please take your vitamins we need them. Thank you for reading
