I just realized what the date is today. I am 2 year post-op today.While I struggled with a gradual gain of 7 lbs over the past year, I buckled down and lost those recently with Dr Cirangle's help. Today I weigh in the 126 - 127 range which is the lowest I've been since surgery.
The goal he set for me was 120 - 125. I've continued to think I can get lower, but it hasn't happened yet.
I really have come to terms with what I can and can not eat. I do avoid sugary foods and breads, which I used to love. I recently became a vegetarian and have been struggling with what to eat. It was so easy to eat chicken and salads every day....I'm searching for a new normal for me.
The past years have been a challenge, but I'm thrilled to be a thin person instead of a fat one. I should write a post for the main board....will do that later. I just wanted to share my anniversary with you all.
While maintenance is tougher than losing after surgery, it is so worth it.
Weight today: 168.8 (again!)
Thank you!! I just loved seeing the twinkle in her eye, when she said it. Nice being a Superstar for a day. All my labs were great, but the dietician did think that my protein intake was a bit high. A couple of days, it was up to 134, so I could decrease it a bit. She recommended about 100, which is reasonable, but I may keep it at around 110. It is always nice going into that clinic. They are always so supportive.
