1 month post op follow up..30 lbs down

Nov 11, 2011

 So at my one month follow up I was down 30 lbs! I honestly was hoping for a little more,but my doctor said that was right where I should be. I won't complain,like my husband said, "When is the last time you lost 30 lbs in a month?"  NEVER..so I'll gladly take the 30lbs. I really need to work on increasing my walking. I have not walked as much as I should,but when I do I get in atleast 1.5 miles. I feel like that's pretty good when my exercise has been nil for quite some time. That's the main thing my doctor said I need to work on now is uping my exercise and getting my protein & meds in everyday. He said the weight loss is not a concern,because I'm on track with it. I rambling it feels like..but a few more things. I must say I have been proud of myself. I haven't eaten anything I'm not supposed to.. such as no bread,no pasta,no sugar. I've not had any carbonated beverages..which I miss a lot!, no sweet tea :'(  I've learned to use squash or zuchinni as mock pasta..not too bad. I've been pretty strict on myself,but I am so afraid of getting sick..I do not want to have dumping syndrome at all! Last night I started having thoughts like, what if I went through all this and I don't lose any more weight? What if I'm the one person in the world that has this surgery and it doesn't work? I know it takes controling your diet and exercise,but what if I do all that and it doesn't work?  Anyway..that's my spill for now. It's getting dark and my walk is calling me..
