1 year DS surgery anniversary
Apr 26, 2011
I had my DS on 4-26-10 and I weighed 411 pounds when I went in, today I weighed and I am 273.... 138 pounds smaller, 190 smaller from my top weight.
The thing is no matter how hard I try or how much my dr tells me I am fulfilling their expectations of my weight loss and that I am doing good I feel like I am failing, as if I should of lost at least another 30-50 pounds by now.
I know I can't expect to maintain 4 pounds a week loss when exercising is so difficult for me but I feel as if I should push through the pain even though my ortho tells me it is not smart cause the pain means the knees are getting much worse. But by the same token I also know I could take much better care of myself and so I need to sit down and make a serious list of what I am doing wrong and what I am doing right. If I am lucky I have another 5 to 8 months of serious weight loss before it becomes a really serious battle to maintain and lose, this means I have about 5 months to change the bad habits I have developed.
I NEED to drop 80 pounds, preferably by the end of this year or by this time next year, my knees are in horrible shape and I need to be under 200 pounds before they will replace them and the sooner the better.
