I wish I'd remembered I'd had this journal 8 months ago when I went to Juarez for vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Ah, well, better late than never.
Since then My BMI has dropped from 55 to 35 in the last 8 months. I'd like to get it in the mid "overweight" range, i.e. about 170 lbs., but as for now I've lost about 65% of my excess weight. Yes, I'm feeling lots better (if cold much of the time).
My BIL asked when I was planning on going back to eating normally. This took me aback. Short term, I'm planning on having a desserts day (and only desserts as there is so little room in my tum) on the upcoming holidays). At some time in the future I will need to add calories to stabilize my weight.
But truthfully, I know I must maintain what must seem like a very abnormal diet to many, high in low fat protein and all foods in small amounts -- no more than 3 to 4 oz. a meal -- to keep Pissy Baby from stretching and maintain a good restriction.
I miss eating sometimes. Occasionally one needs a Jethro bowl of Cocoa Krispies.
