Week 9 Update (2 months out)

Jul 05, 2011

Well I went on a family vacation for the 4th of July, and I snacked a lot. I even gained 2 lbs back, Ugh! Sooo, time to buckle down. I really want to be serious and lose the weight when it is the most easiest ( which is the first 6 months). I know I am not getting in all my protien, because I absolutely loathe those protien shakes/suppliments. I really don't know what to do there, so far I am just praying that I will not be nutritionally deficient. I really should be trying different suppliments, but I just don't want to waste a lot of money. I am very good at taking my vitamins like I am supposed to be doing, so the main thing I am worried about is my protien levels being too low. Unfortunately if that happens the only alternative will be to figure out a way to take those protien shakes.

I think I did get rid of the C. Diff! It has been over 2 weeks and ther is no sign of it. I am still taking probiotics, just on a smaller dosage. I am hoping that they will help to keep me regular, because I have heard that constipation can be a big problem for us, and I don't even want to go there. The C. Diff is always in the back of my head though. I definitely want to take all precautions NOT to get it back again.

Well my weight is now only slowly going down. Yes, I am disappointed. I was hoping it would be dropping faster, but I do need to buckle down more and quit the snacking for sure. I am currently 181 ( I am aching to be in the 170's). I have lost 52 lbs since surgery. I would like to be down 30 more, which would put me at 150. I am hoping to be there in 3 months, but at this point I think 4 months would be more realistic. I am hoping at a year to be 135. I am not sure if I am drinking enough water or not (I am not keeping track), but I don't seem to be dehydrated. Everyone notices that I have lost weight, some people know about the surgery, and some don't. I tell who I want.
