31 lbs down and almost at my first goal!!! (205.5lbs)

Feb 05, 2009

Well, I am a little over 3 weeks post op and I am down 31 lbs as of today. This past week and a half has been a real bummer tho and has really caused me some frustration and lack of motivation b/c the scale was going no where!!!! I didnt understand it. It has been going down down down,  and as soon as i started eating some solid foods, it just stopped! I figured it had a lot to do with me being constipated (adding some weight on me) but even after i went, it stayed the same. I guess i hit my first plateau, as my body was now getting solids for the first time in about a month.... I started walking 10 min more than i normally do and am now up to 30min/day, but i did do 45 min the other day!!! Yesterday the scale FINALLY budged 2lbs, i walked some, and then today, it budged another 2lbs, bringing me down to 205.5 :))))) My first goal is to be at 200 on Feb 12th, my one month anniversary. I am working really hard to get there b/c i dont want to not achieve the first goal i set for myself. Thats not a good start!! So i have 7 days to do so and have to lose 5.5lbs.. i can do it!!!!

I really struggled over the weekend with some acid reflux and im really not sure why at all. I got a little scared and went back to liquids and called the doc on monday and they advised me to double up on the prilosec for a few days. But I was feeling ok the day I called, so i stayed at the one pill to see if i'd get better, and I did! The only thing that comes to mind is that I started taking flax seed oil again, b/c i have for years and maybe that cause some reflux. The other thing is that i was super stressed over the weekend and sometimes that can cause it. Really not sure, but im just glad it is gone!

I go on Monday for my first fill. The doctor said some people dont even need fills, but I think i def do b/c I am hungry about 2 hours after I eat. I am being good, but its really taking me alot of effort. I'd rather have my first fill and have the fullness last me a little bit longer. Hope the weight continues to drop after that. Right now im trying to decide on my next goal after my Feb 12th one. I am going to go back and look at the amount of lbs I have lost and see what is an attainable goal. Never good to set youself up for something not attainable!

I am one happy chica right now, can see my face!!! And I am slimming down horizontally. I can fit into pants that i havent worn in 5 years and my stomach is flattening which is great. Its definitely getting a little jiggly, but a tummy tuck just isnt for me b/c i havent had kids yet and i knwo thats something you shoudl really wait for til after you are done giving birth to your kids. So ill just have to deal with some jiggle. As long as im healthier and thinner, i can deal with it!
