Three Weeks Post Op
May 02, 2011
Well, it has been three weeks. At week one, I had lost 14 lbs (Yeah!). In the last two weeks I lost an additional 6... only 2 in the last week. I have been reading about the 3 week stall. So, I will hang in there. I do my measurements on Tuesday. That should give me a better idea of how I am doing. I had have a massive fail yesterday. I bought a Lean Cuisine Four Cheese Pizza, cooked it for lunch, cut it into 8 piece and ate 3 of them. I have since read the blogs and the forums and have determined this was not the best course of action for such a newbie. I really think looking at all the cookbooks and recipes is overwhelming when I am on such a restricted diet. I did buy Laughing Cow Light Cheese and Veggie burgers for a change. I think over the weekend, I had alot of head hunger.... I was home alone. I can't get over how I think about food but when I actually eat it, I just can only eat a small amount. I was happy to find this morning that I hadn't stretched my pouch and could only eat half of my one egg omelette.For exercise, I have been getting on my NordicTrack Freestrider 35s (this is an eliptical climber). I started out doing ten minutes at a time (usually only 20 minutes a day). Yesterday I did 30 minutes all at one time and today I did 30 again. I am not doing high RPMs at all... slow and steady. I have not been cleared to do any core work yet, so the aerobic is where I will stick for now. I have a bad right knee (no ACL), the machine, so far, is virtually no impact. I have not had any problems with my knee on it. I actually bought the machine to put in my office so I had no excuses to not take 10 minutes a couple of times a day and exercise.
I also got my Wii Balance board hooked up to monitor my weight. Our scale is terrible and the Balance board seems to be consistent. Someday, hopefully, I will not hear the Wii program tell me "That's Obese!" when I weigh in.
