One Month Surgiversary!

Aug 09, 2011

Holy cow it has been a month already!  Weight loss is slowing down a little - lost 3 lbs this week.  Went from 260.5- 257.2.  I will take my measurements tonight.  So this puts my weight loss at 22 lbs since surgery and 28 lbs since my last Dr. visit a week before surgery.  I am hoping for a bigger loss next week, since this week I am on my period.  Hoping to not hit the dreaded stall for a few more weeks - would like to hit 50 lbs lost before my Birthday at the end of September.  Today I feel kind of blah.  I started back to work at the office yesterday - between that and all the stuff I needed to do at home I was running around until 9pm - and then I crashed.  Today I am tired.  I am starting slow by walking the dogs 4 x a week.  Dr. says no vigorous exercise for a few more weeks.  I started phase 3 diet - were I can incorporate more soft foods and not have to blend everything.  So far so good.  It is hard to try to get everything in - 4 meats, 4 milks, 2-3 starches, 1-2 fruits/veg's each, 2 fats.  I just eat protein first and if I can get to the rest great - if not that is OK too.  Definitely going to take a nap when I get off work tonight - well after I run a few errands LOL.   I have my next Dr. appointment in 2 weeks so we will see how I progress!  I am trying to be more active - walked around farmers market - dad/sis went to dinner and mom and I went shopping at a store at the opposite end of the strip center - so I said we would walk down instead of them dropping us off.  So little by little I am getting better!  I feel normal - minimal/no pain - unless I over do it with bending over or walking too much.  More good things to come!
