The 10 percent goal as I approach 4-weeks mark
Jun 21, 2009
My surgeon Dr. Karl LeBlanc mentioned last week that a good measurement of progress in the first month would be losing 8-10 percent of my body weight. I think I have the 8 percent down, but I would like to make that 10 percent mark.I'm in a much better condition since last week this time. I turned a corner last weekend and got a little extra rest. I got my gallbladder taken out and liquids are giving me more intestinal angst so I was battling dehydration. I stepped firmly into mushies and had a lot of fish (tuna salad, grilled tuna, salmon, mahi-mahi, sushi) last week and that helped me more than protein drinks which are running straight through me.
I have 4.4 pounds to reach the 30-pounds since surgery mark, but my ticker includes my loss during the preop diet. Dr. LeBlanc isn't buying that into his equation.
I think some walking and sipping will help this ticker reach the goal. I appreciate the prayer and support.
