8 Months Out Update.
Jul 13, 2009
Life has been busy as usual. Soccer has ended, but baseball is another month or so yet. Always on the move.I finally got out on my new bike, and I really enjoyed it. I think roller blades are next. I've always wanted to try it.
I'm also considering purchasing a WII Fit. It seems all the rage, and everyone doing it seems to have lots of fun.
I've lost a total of 116 lbs, which is on target with my average 10 lbs a month I seem to be losing now.
I have no idea how many inches I've lost. I had my measurements taken at the gym 1 month before surgery, and I think maybe I'll have them redo them at 10 months.
My food hasn't been as strict as it should be, but my estimates are pretty accurate. When I do pull out my measuring cups and scale to verify, I'm pretty much right on target, and my pouch is too. By that I mean that measured quantity fills me up. I don't feel the need for more. So although I'm not always measuring, my pouch seems accurate. .... I do verify about every 10 days or so, just to be sure.
I tolerate most foods, and stay away from those I know bother me. Bread is no longer my friend, but I have had the occasional grilled cheese or toasted tomato sandwich...... crust cut off. I just have to be very careful. I never know which bite will bite me back so I take it very slow.
I'm still getting lots of comments about how good I look. It can be rather embarrassing, but I try to stay positive and accept the compliment graciously.
Well, that's about all for now.
