Three Weeks Post Op
posted on 5/2/11 12:14 pm
Well, it has been three weeks.  At week one, I had lost 14 lbs (Yeah!).  In the last two weeks I lost an additional 6...  only 2 in the last week.  I have been reading about the 3 week stall.  So, I will hang in there.  I do my measurements on Tuesday.  That should give me a better idea of how I am doing.  I had have a massive fail yesterday.  I bought a Lean Cuisine Four Cheese Pizza, cooked it for lunch, cut it into 8 piece and ate 3 of them.  I have since read the blogs  and the forums and have determined this was not the best course of action for such a newbie.  I really think looking at all the cookbooks and recipes is overwhelming when I am on such a restricted diet.  I did buy Laughing Cow Light Cheese and Veggie burgers for a change.   I think over the weekend, I had alot of head hunger....  I was home alone.  I can't get over how I think about food but when I actually eat it, I just can only eat a small amount.  I was happy to find this morning that I hadn't stretched my pouch and could only eat half of my one egg omelette. 

For exercise, I have been getting on my NordicTrack Freestrider 35s (this is an eliptical climber).  I started out doing ten minutes at a time (usually only 20 minutes a day).  Yesterday I did 30 minutes all at one time and today I did 30 again.  I am not doing high RPMs at all...  slow and steady.  I have not been cleared to do any core work yet, so the aerobic is where I will stick for now.  I have a bad right knee (no ACL), the machine, so far, is virtually no impact.  I have not had any problems with my knee on it.  I actually bought the machine to put in my office so I had no excuses to not take 10 minutes a couple of times a day and exercise. 

I also got my Wii Balance board hooked up to monitor my weight.  Our scale is terrible and the Balance board seems to be consistent.  Someday, hopefully, I will not hear the Wii program tell me "That's Obese!" when I weigh in.
