This is so very true, and hopefully this is my only post about said subject, but it probably won’t be. Let me start by saying if you venture onto the path of surgical weight loss do everything the surgeon and the nutritionist say. It’s very important to follow every detail of your post op diet and not stop drinking your protien, taking your vitamins, and eating the stage appropriate diet. Yes you will probably get very tired of the post op diet. There isn’t a lot of variety to mine and things that used to taste good to me before just have no flavor. I have read that this can happen sometimes so I’m not worried. You can get creative with what you can eat but it’s definitely not easy.
I’m 8 weeks post up coming up on another post op doctors appointment soon which will be my 9 week mark. I’m 30 lbs down and something in me just wants so much more. So what’s with the temptation title? Well just because I have a smaller stomach doesn’t mean I had surgery to change the thoughts in my head. That being said I still crave certain things. I didn’t in the very beginning, but I do now. Lately, it’s been things like nachos, chocolate, and french fries. And trust me I did stray a few times from the diet and most recently it was the worst choice I’ve made over the past couple of weeks. If you want to end up uncomfortable and probably in the bathroom don’t follow the diet and you’ll be there.
On a brighter note I did get over the exercise wall nothing too crazy walking, eliptical and lifting weights. Doing some circuit training which is pretty fun. And let me just tell you how much exercise a trail walk is with me, my friend, two strollers, 3 infants and my dog ?!
Post op appointment Thursday until then happy reading!
