1 Month

Nov 19, 2009

Well it is officially one month since my surgery, and I have lost 36 pounds, I have seen the scale dip under 300 for the first time in over 5 years and have just hit the 280's which has easily been 8 years.  My recovery has been so much easier than I thought it would be, so this is one of those boring posts, I have had a textbook case of recovery with no complications and no drama, and am so thankful for it.  I had my 3 week stall right on schedule for about 5 or 6 days when the scale didn't budge, and truthfully while logically I  knew that this was normal and to be expected there was that part of me that said look something else that you failed at, but I took people's advice, upped my carbs for a day and then the weight started to fall off again.  It is funny I have lost more weight in this one month than I have ever lost, but there is that part of you that says look at how much more you have to go and it is all head games really, it is almost like you don't want to get to hopeful and case this doesn't work out.  Again I have been told this is normal so I try not to feel to crazy. I can tell you this  I DO NOT regret having this surgery!  My brother saw how little I put on my plate the other day and he was "Aww Deb", but it is like I told him, I eat what I want and I just get full faster, it isn't a burden it is a blessing, and I truly feel that way,  I have been blessed, pounds are coming off, I feel like I stay full all the time and I am not starving myself, I have an awesome support group, the support of my family, and everyone on OH to get me over the stupid and not so stupid stuff.
