33 days Post-op

Weekly update

Back to work for 20 hours last week. I feel like I was productive most of the time, but I was completely wiped out after work. I am still struggling to get in enough calories and fluids.

Spoke to the bariatric nutritionist on Friday afternoon and she said that it is normal. She said many people are only able to eat a few bites and then they are full. I told her I was concerned that I was squandering away my magical weight loss time because I could not get in the 900 calories per day that is needed to stay out of starvation mode. She encouraged me to get in 40 oz of protein and 40 oz of water. She said to eat 6 meals daily and try to get in as much protein as I can. She told me at 6 weeks they want me to be down between 20-30 lbs, so I am actually on track for that, despite the stall last week.

Highest weight ever 351 lbs.
Weight on 3/1/2017 when I started Weight Watchers 346 lbs. (-5 lbs)
Weight at pre-op appointment 313 lbs. (-38 lbs)
Day of surgery 306 lbs (-45 lbs)
07 days post-op 5/29/2017 298 lbs (-53 lbs total -8 since surgery)
14 days post-op 06/05/2017 290.3 lbs (-60.2 lbs total -15.7 since surgery)
16 days post-op 06/07/2017 289 lbs (-63 lbs total -17 lbs since surgery)
22 days post-op 06/13/2017 285.9 lbs (-65.1 lbs total and -20.1 lbs since surgery)
33 days post-op 06/24/2017 280.5 lbs (-70.5 lbs total and -25.9 lbs since surgery)

Next follow-up with surgeon is July 6th. Hopefully I will be close to my 30 lbs lost by then.
