3 week Post Op Doctors Visit
Feb 05, 2009
Hi Family,First I would like to say thank you to all the OH friends that left me comments and I didn't respond. I'm still learning how to use this profile and didn't know I was to accept comments I'm sorry please forgive me it is never my intention to ignore friends. Now for the good stuff. I had my first WOW moment this morning ....something said try on clothes that you didn't wear this past summer ( The scale doesn't seem to be moving down as fast as I would like and Ive been discouraged) In the past Ive been an inch loser, but I was hoping the surgery would change that. Well low and behold my 18's fit again I tried on 14 pairs of jeans and every one of them had room left. I went from my tight 22''s back to my fitted 18's. So that clearly made my disappointment go away. I had my visit with Doctor Afram to day and I'm down another 9 pounds I wasn't all that excited I wonder why. Is this normal?? Has anyone has this experience. Dr. Afram told me that my weight loss is on track its just that I wont see huge losses but I will see consistent weight loss over a period of time. He stated that the heavier you are the more weight you lose. Patience my child patience.... I'm eating Talapia fish , shrimp and salad and I like it. In the past I wasn't really a meal kinda girl Id rather have Sour Cream and Cheddar chips the big bag) with a mountian dew to wash it down for a meal. My hair is growing like crazy I normally keep short hair and buy some when I want it long. But this is nice its probably all the vitamins i take I do the Bariatric advantage Multi, B12, Calcium Citrate and also I take Juice Plus multi vitamins to make sure I get all my serving of fruits and Veggies in each day. I have a treadmill at home but I went to the gym for the first time this past week. My mind told me I could get on the elliptical and get my work out on....I think not I lasted 6 mins I quickly moved on the the bicycle where I lasted for 15 mins I finally gave up and went to the treadmill where i was more comfortable it felt like everybody was watching me.
Well my next visit is in a month I hope to be down 20 pounds my goal is to be 220 by my 8 week post op I'm half way there.
