Twelve Weeks Post-Op: Death of a Food Monster

Feb 08, 2013

Well, if I felt normal before, I feel super normal now.  I have gotten down to 312.8 lbs with a stall last week because I am retaining water – that pesky period came back…did you know they are supposed to show up once a month?  Hmph.

At twelve weeks post-op, I can eat almost anything I want, but I think that food monster has been stuffed and gagged because I very rarely get that wild, insatiable need to gorge myself on food anymore.  In fact, I never get it.  Maybe my brain has finally realized that’s not in the cards for me anymore.  Honestly, even though I wish I were losing faster, the death of the food monster is enough of a reason for me to be thankful about this surgery.

Negatives?  I think my hair is falling out, so I’m working really hard to get plenty of protein in every day.  Hopefully I will get that under control before it gets really bad.  I have started taking biotin as well, but I know that if I’m not getting in my protein the biotin isn’t going to do shit.

I am now working out at least five times a week.  I walk on the treadmill and then I do toning exercises, so I’m hoping they help with any flabby skin.  Is it working?  Too soon to tell.  Now that it’s getting warmer out (ever so slowly) I want to start walking outside on our property, which is a lot prettier than looking at my garage.

Other than that, everything is going pretty well.  My clothes are getting bigger on me and if it weren’t for the belt I wear, my old ones would be completely falling off of me now.

The current goal I’m working on is getting under 300. 

Bleh, I’m a boring person…I will be back when I have something substantial to report…

Hope everyone is doing good!
