70 Lbs Gone Forever!!
Feb 25, 2012
Here we are at the end of February already. This morning I hit the 70 lb. loss mark, much to my surprise, because this week has been crazy and I only made it to the gym twice. But, I altered my eating habits a bit. I'm kind of back-tracking a little, going back to drinking two protein shakes a day and just eating one meal. My dietitian wants patients completely OFF of the protein shakes by the 3 month mark. Reason being that we should be getting all of our protein from actual food. That's really not a problem for me, but the calorie intake is. I honestly do not get "hungry" so just doing the shakes is not a problem for me. I usually eat breakfast as my chewable meal, because I like eggs and tolerate them with no problems. I had hit such a stall that my weight didn't move for two solid weeks. Now that I've gone back to the shakes, the scale is moving again. I got pretty frustrated, telling myself "I did not go have this done to my body to weigh 240 lbs the rest of my life!" With me being in school full time and having so many other obligations, it's just easier for me to do it this way. My goal is to get to 150. I hope to be there by my one year mark. I'm now at 233.I did go out and buy some new clothes this week, which for the first time in a LONG time, was fun! My jeans are all too big, so I needed new ones and so from the time of my surgery until now, I've gone from a size 26 to a 20. I have size 16's and 14's in my closet from ages ago that I will one day be back into. I see the numbers on the scale go down, but when you can actually SEE your body changing, it's very motivating. I'm approaching my 4 month post surgery mark soon, and so far, I have NO regrets!
