ktgrok Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm down 31.5 lbs from my high weight, 10 weeks ago. That's more than my nearly 3 year old son weighs! I'm getting in my protein, but still struggling to get enough fluids in. My doctor said not to worry, just give it time. (That issue is probably more due to the hernia repair than the gastric sleeve surgery). I have no heartburn at all, although I'm still taking my nexium for one more month before I try to wean off of it. My sinuses are SO much more clear, which I'm guessing is because I don't have acid reflux washing up into my sinuses when I sleep. I still have "head hunger" issues if I eat a lot of carbs, so I try to stay low carb. That's been a bit harder as I am stressed over a book deadline, but at least if I eat the wrong thing now it's a small amount of it, comparatively :) Most of the time I stick pretty well to what I'm supposed to eat though. My taste for fatty foods is pretty much gone. Sweets still taste good but I don't want large amounts of them, and my chewable vitamin satisfies my sweet craving most of the time. Well, that and my iced coffee with a bit of splenda :) I have photos in my blog, for anyone wanting to see :) (link is in the signature). 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroe1 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The blog is lots of fun. You seem to be losing most in your hips and abdomen. Your books still look fabulous. What a great adventure for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
