There is no lady-like way of bringing up this topic. But I assure you, it is the reason I have not yet done a Week 4 Post Op - Weigh In Video or update.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words... so:
This is now going in EVERYTHING that I eat and drink. And I do mean EVERYTHING.
I did weigh this morning, and I had lost about a pound. Let's just say, "it's been a while" if you get my drift. A LONG WHILE. I'm hoping the BeneFiber is going to help correct this problem of mine.
They say that "irregularity" is normal after gastric bypass surgery, and I'm doing my best to fix the problem. Me and God have even had a few talks about it ;o)
In other news... my follow up appointment with my surgeon was scheduled due to "snow" for another two weeks. BUT I have been talking with my nutritionist, and I have now graduated to "solid" foods. I use the word "solid" very loosely as my food choices are still very restricted. Strangely enough, I'm VERY excited that one of the foods on my permission list is shredded lettuce. WOOT! I haven't been able to eat any fresh veges in over a month, didn't realize how much I missed them. So tonight, I plan on trying out a bite or two of salad for dinner.
I promise to post a video soon :o)
If the benefiber doesn't do it for you, the lettuce will especially since your system has gone without for a while. Just make sure to keep drinking your water and everything will straighten out! Benefiber has been my friend many times over the years! :)
ReplyDeleteThat can make for some miserable days! Hope it gets better and you have some "success";o)
