Almost 2 yrs Post-Op!
Jul 09, 2009
It's been almost 2 years since my GBP. Time has flown by! Currently I am at a 88# wt loss out of the 120# goal I had set. While 120# wt loss goal may have been overkill, I'd still like to break the 100# loss mark.I gained 13# between December and April....all my fault. Not enough exercise and unfortunately I realized I could eat Toffee Fays and Peppermint Patties and went balistic. I was never a candy person before, so I'm not sure why I went crazy, but an amazing thing happened. We are a family of faith and prayer. After having a hard time avoiding the candy, my husband said a simple prayer. The next thing I know, the candy started to make me sick! Even after months of eating the stuff!! Sad to see it go, but happy that God saved me from myself! And for having such a wonderful caring husband!
Since then I've been working on sticking to the low fat, low sugar snacks. But like everything else, these too have to be in moderation. I've been maintaining but not losing the weight I had gained, so my husband joined me this week in doing a protein shake diet. The plan for me was to do the 2 week pre-op diet to kick start the weight loss again. Unfortunately ever since my surgery, I haven't had such a good time drinking these shakes, but I'm persevering. After a day and a half of only clear liquids & protein shakes, I wasn't feeling right, and experiencing alot of dizziness. So I've adjusted things and am now doing 2 shakes and a small meal of meat and veggies. This seems to be helping. I'm working on including some exercise too. So of the 13# that I gained, I've lost 6# of it. My goal is to lose the rest of what I gained and another 10# by the end of July. Wish me luck!
