Hello all, I kept saying I was going to create this blog.. and today is the day. I am 22 days out from surgery and I am feeling pretty good today. Yesterday, not so good as for the eating portion of the day, but you'll have those days. I seem to have conquered the mental bad day/good day cycle for at least now.
Weightloss Surgery isn't easy, that is for sure. You hear in the media that it's "the easy way out" but I can honestly tell you, it's not. There are some rules that you have to follow for the rest of your life and there are standards that must be kept in order to lose weight, achieve goal, and then maintain it.
No sugar. At all. Ever.
Very little fruit.
Very few complex carbs.
Very high protein.
Very high fluids.
Exercise.
Do not drink anything with meals or for 30-60 min after.
Keep junk food out of your house, and don't go to fast food joints.
No soda or any carbonated beverages.
No caffeine.
These are just the basics. There are lots of other "little" rules that become part of daily life.
I hope you enjoy following my journey. I will post pics along the way.
Love to you all,
Angie
