Just Shy of 9 Months Post Op
I'll be traveling on the business the next 2 weeks, and away from a scale and tape measure on my actual 9 month surgiversary, so did my numbers today, May 10. I weigh 115lbs, only a 2lb loss in the past month, for a total weight loss of 82lbs, all post op loss, as I didn't have a pre op diet requirement. I've been upping my total calorie intake to figure out how much I can eat for maintenance. This past month, I have been averaging 973 calories a day over this past month. So I likely will need to stick to around 1000 calories a day in order to maintain this weight loss, or up my exercise. I get on the treadmill nearly every day - about 30-45 minutes at 3.8 mph and 1.5 incline. This past week, I have been running at 4.2 for part of this time. Even though I didn't lose a lot this month, I did lose 4.25 inches overall. This brings my total inches lost to 60.5". I am very pleased with this progress in just 9 month. I do very well with my vitamins and liquids, and really setting goals every week around food and fitness. Please read my blog posts, look at pics, friend me, and ask me any questions you like. I love engaging with this entire forum.
I have to work Sunday, so may not be as active over the next 2 weeks, but want to wish all the Mothers a very Happy Mother's Day and hope you get to spend it with your loved ones.
