AGENT ORANGE, WHERE DID YOU GO????
Well, it's 50 days since my surgery. Until 4 days ago, there would ALWAYS be some orange circles in the toilet when I went.... (HA, I'm an MGBer, the right to be graphic... LOL) Anyway, for the last 3 days NOT A DROP of the orange to be had... I had always had confidence that the fat was not being absorbed when I saw the orange circles floating.... Does this mean that now the fat IS being absorbed? My diet has not changed. Also, I don't have loose stool any longer. What does this all mean?

A QUEASY DAY
Well, as you all know, I have been whining about how slow I am losing, but I am not complaining anymore. I just remember, "Be careful what you wish for, you may get it!" So, I am happy with how I am losing.
People are noticing my weight loss already, especially because all of the weight I lost has come from my FACE!!! I lost 24.5 pounds from my face alone....I am afraid I will be left with a teeny tiny head on a big body.... LOL But, people who have seen me for the first time two weeks ago alon… Continue

wendy simpson said… - Hi Sheba, Go girl - I see that marker on your wight loss ticker moving. I know this lady locally who has lost 60 some pounds in less than 3 months but her hair is falling out. Any problems for you with the hair? What did you eat for the first three weeks that didn't make you sick. My surgery is on Dec 2 and there is a whole new reality setting in. Wendy

CareyS said… - Hi Sheba, thanks so much! I had a lot of food issues in the beginning, so I had to stay away from carbs and sugar, except for in very small amounts. I used to eat chicken but I completely lost my taste for it, and I also don't like tough meat. I eat mostly fish and seafood with veggies and some fruit. I also have issues with agent orange, so I stay away from fatty foods. Makes me a very picky eater... lol. When I hit a slump I would do 2 protein shakes a day and a salad with lean protein for lunch to get past the stall. I also tracked all of my food on sparkpeple.com and still do but not asmuch as before. I believe that going to the gym helped as well.
As far as what kinds of foods I make, I do mussles quite often, fish soup, broiled fish, calf liver or chicken liver with onions, hot and sour soup with tofu and veggies, steamed lobster and crab quite often, raw oysters (great for b12), sashimi, hot pot is great, because you can put whatever you want in it. I have also really been liking Gefile fish lately, but I am starting to not like salmon as much, maybe I was eating it too much. I also make lots of veggie dishes. I used to do a lot of chili, but it doesn't really thrill me anymore.
I had a snacking bug last night and went to a convenience store. After walking around for 30 mins to see everything they had in the store, I ended up getting a green tea sampler, a can of smoked oysters, and a small box of Glosette almonds. I think before I would have picked up a couple of bags of chips, ice cream, candy bar with caramel and nougat and a soda. So, as you can see, VAST difference, I had about two thirds of the oysters, and halfof the box of nuts over about an hour with some nice tea.
Something else I would like to mention is how hormonal my weight loss is. For 2 weeks before my cycle I eat more, have more cravings, gain weight (water), then for about a week after my cycle I loose like crazy, during which time I have no appetite. I am not sure if I have stopped or not yet, should see within the next couple of weeks. I hope it hasn't stopped yet, still want to loose another 15 pounds or so.
Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
Carey

- I know this probably doesn't help but some people have said that their skin tends to tighten more when you lose slower. So that might be a good thing! I wish you much success!
