10 Months Post Op VSG

Oct 05, 2010

Ok, so technically I am 10 days shy of being 10 months post op.  I've been doing fabulously well.  My whole attitude about things in general have improved. My self-esteems/confidence have improved.  I'm feeling great!

My current weight is 266.  I've still got a good 100 lbs to lose to reach my personal goal.  It's funny, I'm currently at a weight where many people begin their weightloss surgery journey.  I'm feeling pretty wonderful at the moment.  But, I have lost over 130+ pounds so far so I guess that makes sense.

I get my water in (or try really hard).  My protein I have to believe is fine, although I'll be honest - I don't count anything.  I guess I'm a bit of a rebel girl LOL.  It's my opinion that writing stuff down is a good tool in the process to see where you need improvement; however realistically writing stuff down feels like work and I don't want my journey to feel like work.  Work is not something that I particularly enjoy so guess what...I want this to be fun.  I want to live and enjoy.  So that's what I do.  I make good choices with my food because I want my health and I want a shot at a long and happy life.  I stay focused.  I stay away from soda pop and sweets for the most part. I'll admit to having a small piece of chocolate now and than. I dub that the chocolate demon that visits at least once a month right along with Aunt Flo. :)  haha  I also don't eat a lot of bread or anything.  I eat proteins first and I exercise.  I'm doing things right and I've been losing pretty steadily for a while now - about 2 lbs a week.  I'm okay with that too.  I'll be posting an updated progress picture so you can see how far I've come.  I'm very proud of my accomplishments thus far.  Getting to know the new and improved me is quite the trip at times! 

I recently participated in the Walk from Obesity event held in my area.  I walked just over 3 miles.  Awesome!  I also had a personal goal of riding 10 miles on my bicycle before the end of season and I accomplished that last week.  10.8 miles as a matter of fact!  I love bicycling...out on the road, not the stationary kind. 

I'm doing this and having fun.  Thanks for visiting my page.
