Feeling better... I am recommitting myself to this process and not getting discouraged. I drank 3 protein shakes this week increasing my protein by 30g a day--and I am buying a car at the end of The month- so I can start exercising at our gym. I think I am going to try running--it has been awhile and I think I might be able to do it now that I have dropped some weight. We went on a 5 mile hike up a mountain this last weekend--and I didn't hurt like I used to--I hit a "energy wall" once I got to the top--were I felt like I had no juice left--but I didn't feel like my heart was going to explode or my back was being sawed in half..... I am 214 as of today--I fit into size 20's last night!!!! Yeah for me--those didn't fit 2 weeks ago so maybe I am losing inches. I might be going home this weekend to see my family--which will make me feel good--they are very encouraging. I sort of wanted to wait to see them til I am at goal..but they are anxious to see me now.Now some stats to make me feel better
Date of surgery 289 BMI Extremely obese Size 24/26-2XL tops
Today 214 BMI Obese Size 20's Tops Large "normal size"
Future---at 170 lbs I will be overweight
at 140 I will be normal weight---IT WILL HAPPEN!!!
