Two months out
Jun 02, 2010
Well, it's been about 2 months since surgery and as each day passes everything begins to feel more and more normal. I've been feeling really good lately! I've been getting out and walking with my co-workers at lunch time, hubby and I have been doing yard work and planting and I don't feel so tired doing all of it. I seem to have this energy that I didn't have before and that makes me so glad that I made the decision to have this surgery.I have had quite a few stalls on the scale front, but it started moving again in the last few days. For me, stalls happen quite frequently but when the scale decides to move, it moves quickly! I've lost almost 70 lbs since the start of my journey with the weight wise program. This morning I weighed in at 215, not too far away from onderland!
I'm still having head issues, my eyes are much bigger than my stomach and I always think I can eat more than I actually can. I'm still at about 1/4 cup to 1/3 of a cup per meal which isn't a lot. I've been trying so many new recipes that I find online and so far so good. Today's meal plan includes: protein cereal and lactose free skim milk for breakfast, white chocolate flavoured ricotta for my morning snack, some potato-less chicken stew for lunch, 1/4 cup plain yogurt with some frozen berries and all bran buds for afternoon snack and I'm not sure what we're having for supper yet, that remains to be seen. I think I'm doing alright when it comes to my food choices. I'm not perfect, but I'm really trying to stick to the plan!
I'm getting really frustrated with clothes shopping. I'm fitting into an 18 in most jeans, but then you get that odd pair that you can't even get over your thighs! I wish all clothing sizes were standardized. I'm having such an issue finding shirts that I've resorted to actually trying to shrink the ones I have. I'm very diligent about laundry and pretty much everything gets washed in cold and hung up to dry, but this time I washed on hot and put them into the dryer. I still haven't tried them on to see if it worked, maybe I'll check them tonight to see if it worked.
This weekend we're going to be taking some more comparison pictures. If I get enough confidence I may just post them!
