Only 99.4lbs until I reach my goal? WoW!
Jan 29, 2012
As of today I have lost 29.6lbs, and I am pretty happy with that. It's early on and I am only entering week 2 of my two of my post-op recovery, but I find the loss so far to be rewarding and encouraging.Right now it feels like I am barely eating enough. I am following the clinic's instructions diligently and accurately. When I track my "intake" on myfitnesspal.com I can see that I am only consuming about 560 calories a day...which I know isn't a whole hell of a lot... but it also makes sense in a way, because this stage is about slowly building up to increased volumes of food without stretching the pouch.
I call my pouch Mini-me, and while that is a little geeky and funny at the same time, I don't care - because Mini-me and me (Ok, that sounds so weird) have a lot of work to do in the next 6 months. I read somewhere that the first 6 months after WLS are the also referred to as the Golden Opportunity...because those first 6 are going to foreshadow your final outcome...in those first 6 months you will lose half of the total weight you body will lose with this procedure.
That's why the first 6 months are so important, healing and introducing exercise and recognizing derailing habits that you must learn to handle in order to be successful.
Yup, Me and Mini-me have a lot of work to do....
