Almost 8 Week Post Op Update

Mar 13, 2012

Well I had nearly a 10 day stall on the scale and it was rather depressing. What was I doing wrong? What can I do different? Finally over the weekend, I dropped another 3.8lbs and am at a total loss from my highest weight of 54.8lbs.   I went in for my 8 week post op appt today. The Nurse Practitioner asked me how I was feeling and I said, “I feel great, I just wish the weight was coming off faster.” She looked at me and with all seriousness said “When is the last time you lost 54 lbs in a little over 2 months???” POINT TAKEN!!!!! She was overly happy with my diet and exercise, however was concerned that I was not eating enough, HA! Thing is though, if you don’t get in enough calories, your body can go in to starvation mode. Going to increase my calorie intake a little and still work hard on getting in all my water. I am ABOVE the average for weight loss at this point, so all in all, an awesome visit. I did blood work that we will use to compare as time goes on.   The appointment was over and she shook my hand and said “GO LIVE LIFE!!” Good motto.
