One Month Checkup
May 30, 2012
Today I went to see my surgeon for my one month visit. I was down 18 lbs and have really been struggling as I have been thinking all along it should be more. My doctor then says that for a "person like me" I should be down a good 28 lbs at this time. I thought I was going to cry right there. I posted on OH and felt much better as I received a lot of positive feedback. One thing that was said to me that really stuck was that if I keep loosing at this rate, i will be down 100 lbs (giver or take) in 5-6 months. I nevere really thought about it that way and will now try to focus more on the bigger picture, overall weight loss and getting healthy for me and my family. I feel good overall, and I feel good about the food choices that I am making. Some may say that my calorie intake (800-950 a day) is way too high, while others will say it is too low. Here is how I am looking at it - before surgery I was probably eating anywhere from 300-1000 in one meal, depending on where I was eating and what I was eating. I tried to eat "healthier" for years before my surgery, but it just wasn't enough. Some may also say that eating 6-8 ozs is too much, but prior to surgery I was eating multiple cups, not ounces of food. So again, I think I am doing pretty good. I may still need advice on things to eat, but I will get there - I believe I will.
