May 25, 2008 - 9 month reflection
May 24, 2008
So I'm 9 months post-op. May 20 came and went. It was so unlike other monthly surgiversaries because I almost didn't want to acknowledge it.
I totally feel like a failure. I remember when I went to the mandatory psych evaluation prior to surgery and the doctor said that her biggest fear with me was the fact that I never stuck to a diet before. How would I deal with it when the weight was no longer falling off effortlessly? I adamantly told her that I wasn't going to be part of the group of WLS surgery patients that don't make it to goal. That I was going to make it as close as possible to losing 100% of my excess body weight.
I'm down 105 pounds and every day it's a battle. The honeymoon period is definitley over and has been for a few months. I now understand what the doctor's office meant when they said that the best chance to lose the majority of your weight is within the first 6 months. Okay, I did that, I guess. I still have at least 75 to go. I want to keep losing. I want to get to my goal.
I posted some pictures of me taken earlier this month. Size 14/16 pants and size 18/20 shirt. Quite a difference from the size 26 jeans I used to squeeze myseif into, along with the 30/32 and 4x shirts I wore. They are in the May photos. I posted some pictures in the April photos of me in the size 26 pants.
Physically I feel great. Mentally, so so. I miss my DH every day. I get so mad at myself because I feel like I'm letting him down and he was my biggest supporter.
Am I following my program? Maybe half the time. I feel like such a hypocrite. I'm not getting enough protein, I'm grazing, too many carbs, foods with no nutritional value like chips and cookies have found their way back into my life.
I really need to get a grasp on this. I know that the surgery was on my stomach and not my head. It was so easy before and now it's a battle, like it was at 330 pounds.

I have my widow/widower support group meeting tonight and did not want to miss a workout, so I went smack in the middle of the day. It felt so good to leave the office for a while. I'm going to try and do this more often.
