Four Weeks Out

Jul 10, 2011

Today measures 4 weeks from my date of surgery.   It is hard to believe that it has been that long.   The "ride" has been pretty good so far.    I have moved to more soiid foods, today I had eggs for the first time.   No problem at all.   I had two bites of my husband's soft ice cream - I didn't dump.   Of course, two small tastes may not have been enough to trigger that, but I didn't want to try any more.   

This morning, we had a lovely 5 kilometre walk around Point Pelee.   It was terrific and I feel very energized.  

The one problem that I am noticing, is that I am so busy that I forget to eat.   And I haven't even returned to work yet.  lol   That changes this week, I am back!    I have really enjoyed this time off, I wish it was longer.   I think that once I am back at work, I will hae a fairly fixed routine for eating, but I will need to consistently find ways to get outside and walk on my lunch hour.  

I saw my surgeon for my 1-month check up.   She was very pleased and told me that I have lost 93% of my extra weight.  I figure that brought me to a BMI of 30.   My personal goal is a BMI of 25, so I will keep plugging away. 

Gotta run....
