5 months and 3 weeks post op

May 10, 2010

Next Monday I will be 6 months post op.  I decided I wanted to weigh because I have not weighed in 3 weeks.  I was a little apprehensive because my husband's schedule has not allowed us to get to the gym or exercise like I know I should.  Even though the exercise was scant, I still remained committed to my plan.  So we stopped by the Y today just long enough for me to weigh, and to my amazement, I have lost 7 pounds in the last 3 weeks...all while not exercising nearly as much as usual.

This journey is amazing.  Just when I think I have it figured out...no way.  I am thrilled.  I am now 28 pounds away from my surgeon's goal.  My personal goal is 12 pounds beyond that.  Deciding not to weigh or buy a scale until I am at maintenance has truly been my peacemaker.  I just never really stress over the numbers.  It just goes to show our bodies will lose weight in their own way in their own time.
