Almost 4 months out

Oct 05, 2009

Well I haven't written anything since the surgery, and I am now almost 4 months out. My 3 month follow up appointment went well. I was told my blood work all came back perfect!!! With the exception of my b-12 levels, he said I might be overdosing!! lol Initially I was taking them everyday, but now am doing every other day, so hopefully I can fix that probably. As of last week I had lost 53 lbs since surgery, but have lost 93 lbs since my highest weight! I can't believe it. I feel as though I should have lost more weight since surgery, but I am working out pretty hard with the trainer to stay toned, so hopefully since I am gaining muscle that is making my weight loss be a little lower. I am a little loose in my upper arms and thighs and that is it, at least for now! Overall I feel and look great. I have on a size 18 pants, and previously my pants were a 24-26, so I am definitely losing the inches. I am trying to stay focused on how my clothes feel, because just focusing on the scale stresses me out big time! With all the reading I did before the surgery I was expecting to lose a pound a day on average, and when the losing starting slowing down, I naturally start thinking I am doing something wrong. One thing that did come up in my doctor's visit was the fact that I don't measure my food, I could possibly be eating too much or too little for that matter. Everyday I say I am going to start by have had a hard time doing so, I know once I do it for a while I will be able to know how much I should be eating without measuring. I really need to get this going because I am a lucky one where I can eat pretty much anything without being sick. I was sick once in the very beginning from having a protein shake mix that had too much suger in it, but besides that I have been great! I do stay away from sugar, and since sweets is not my weakness it works out great for me. I am missing my fried chicken, or anything else fried for that matter, and I really miss eating pancakes, french toast, etc. I got some sugarless syrup to eat with some whole grain waffles, but I really want a pancake with lots of butter!!  Oh yeah I can forget that I also started doing a pole dancing class on this past Saturday! It was fun, and boy do you feel sexy!!!! I would of never done this had I not had WLS!!!
