Little over a month out :)
Apr 09, 2011
And I am finally getting the hang of this thing! LOL it took a while and I had to learn the hard way with puking and pain and nausea and whatnot but I got it! Of course I'm sure this means that soon something will happen to turn this all on my head again. OK here is what Ive learned and this is what works for me1) While I did lose my hunger my head hunger is louder than ever
2) I prefer to feel satisfied over full. Feeling full makes me feel sick
3) Puking is easier now and I do not avoid it. Meaning I take it as my body telling me "too much" so I get rid of the food and make sure I learn for next time.
4) Chips do NOT make me feel full :(((
5) I am a fast eater. I can only eat about 3-6 bites (1/4 of a cup) of anything and to try and make that last 25min is VERY HARD!
6) Body shapers make you feel SO GOOD about yourself!
There are more but these ones I hope will help someone else. So I feel like I'm not losing as fast as someone else and while I know not to compare or that this is not a marathon and whatnot It is hard to see someones awesome progress (especially when they are roughly the same starting weight as me) and not compare. I also know that I have become brave with my food choices and have introduced chips :( major sad face. They have like 25g of carbs per (little) bag and if i want to stay under 50g then that means I have to do a lot of work. However one of the reasons I picked this surgery is because I don't want to be that girl that counts calories and carbs and stuff. Maybe I need to count now and then once I get to maintenance I can relax a bit and trust my body. Hmmmm good thoughts! I also used to be so much better about my water intake. Like 75oz or so and now it feels like a struggle to even get 25oz in. I drink ice water and tea/crystal lite all day. I definitely need to do better about that!
Well I haven't been having anything too strange happen. I went on vacation with my family for three days and that threw my eating and drinking off a bunch so I gotta get back on track. I also haven't started working out yet but am confident that when I do the weight will come off easier. Maybe less stalls or something. Although I have only had one "stall" and even tho for two weeks I didn't lose weight I lost inches. So far I am down from size 18Long pants to a 14Long and XL top to M :) SUPER!!!!! Im still a 40D in bras and am hoping that goes down. Its sad but my boobs are saggy at 25 (3 kiddos under the age of 5 and still nursing slightly) and they dont fit into a C cup but a D is a little too big :( I want to get a tummy tuck and boob job but I am afraid of the boob job. Maybe one will pop!
Well thats about it for today :) anyone have any questions, thought, or comment please dont hesitate.
