Hello, my name is Nicki
surgery was on 9/23/20
highest weight 345 in 2018
pre surgery weight 321 on 09/23/20
Current weight 277 11/15/20

I am now 52 days post op and I am having 2 Pure Protein shakes a day to total 60grams of Protein, then for dinner I have a small amount of chicken, turkey, beef or pork and some cottage cheese I usually finish half over 45 mins to 1 hour and take a break and if I feel hungry later in the evening I will take a bite or 2 off the plate no snacking throughout the day. I have been doing some walking I take 3-4 10 min walks throughout the day and when I am sitting I have started some arm exercises with 3 lbs. dumb bells, I have joined some Bariatric weight loss support groups. I am looking forward to my next post op appointment on 11/23, At this stage I will be able to start adding fruits and veggies, I have found some amazing recipes and videos I want to make some for our thanksgiving meal. no one needs to know what "type" of recipe just it is a new recipe! I have tried some of these recipes with the one meal a day i have and my 10-year-old daughter and Husband tell me what they think and what they like and do not like. I am looking forward to a healthier life. I also look forward to learning so much from everyone in this community

Hi Nicki -welcome to the group!! You're definitely headed in the right direction - keep up the AMAZING work!

I've been tweaking recipes for YEARS. Some I tell people - some I don't. I've actually had a sister-in-law who was told after she ate it AND asked to take some home - that she noticed a "funky flavor". I'm as blunt as a butter knife - my husband looked at me and he was bracing for impact - I said - "Yeah - no doubt about your mouths funky flavor - your ass has to be jealous of all the shit that comes out of your pie eating hole." Yes - I tweaked a pie recipe :p

The healthier life is an awesome thing!
