First post-op appointment

Jan 16, 2012

I saw my doctor today. He is very pleased with everything. I can take a bath now ( 2 weeks early )!!! And I can start doing strength training on monday.

I quit smoking 11/17....I gained 15 lbs. At my last "physician supervised weight-loss" visit I weighed 227 ( that was at the beginning of December.

 I did the pre-op diet for a week and dropped down to 217. I was 201 in the office today, so I have lost 26 lbs total and about 16 lbs in 18 days. 

Last year I started a program "wealth for my health" at 207lbs. in 3 months I got down to 193. I gained it all back of course. For some reason though I never really accepted the fact the I gained up to 227 and I feel like I can't really "celebrate" my weight loss until I get to 190, like nothing counts until I hit that number. 

I need to be grateful and proud of myself for what I have done, and accept the fact that yep...I gained over 20lbs in 6 months before my surgery. I knew it was going to happen and I planned for it to happen, so I guess I should acknowledge it and own it and be glad that it's almost gone!!!

I need to decide when my "weigh days" are going to be because I don't think it's good for me to weigh everyday. It just kinda drives me crazy. Maybe wednesday. Weigh in wednesdays!!!!
