5th Dietician Appointment

Jul 08, 2015

Saw the dietician today for my next to last visit before surgery! I only lost 4 pounds, but I'll take any loss! I still have my goal of hitting 290 by the end of July, and that is only 7 pounds to go. I know I have continued to fight the carbs...especially treating myself to the McD's vanilla cones a few times a week! I justify it by telling myself I am under my daily calories, but WHAT you eat does make a difference.

I am going to go back to drinking the protein shakes a few times a week. I had been thinking I wanted to eliminate them during the months before surgery so I was not sick of them during the 2 week fast & 2 weeks after surgery, but I think they help me. And I like them. So why not?

I am kind of surprised the past 5 months have gone so quickly. I know I still have tons to learn about food & meal prep. This time has been so useful. Sometimes I think I'd like to keep going & see how much I can continue to lose on my own...I have never lost weight more than a couple times in my life, and certainly not 53 pounds! But I know I NEED this surgery, and the sooner I get the weight off the healthier I will be.

With the exception of my tailbone pain from my fall a couple weeks ago I am feeling really good! I am able to do things I haven't been able to do in a long time. I know I weighed what I weigh now about 15 years ago & was 15 yrs younger, but I can't recall feeling this HEALTHY! I want this feeling...and energy to continue! I want to keep experiencing more NSV's. I don't have problems getting into our cars & I can see some of the sides of the seats. Before my fat spilled over both sides! I can turn over in bed easier, walk further distances, work on projects longer. I feel like my moods have improved.

I cannot begin to imagine how this will improve any more when I am down another 50-75 pounds. But I can't wait to find out! I am anxious to see where I will be next summer & what I will be doing.
