6 months post op today
Feb 18, 2009
6 months have gone by so quickly! It really seems like just last month I was leaving the hospital to start this journey! I have had no issues and count my blessings for that. I have my checkup tomorrow, so hopefully my lab work will be fine. I don't have any issues with food, but am pretty positive if I did eat sugar, I'd dump. I am grateful for that. It keeps me on track! Last month was a slower weight loss month for me..about 7 lbs. I bought some whole wheat crackers and found myself kind of hungry throughout the day and was kind of grazing on them. I think it made me hungrier! So..no more crackers and I am not hungry and the weight loss has started to pick up again. Down about 4 this week! I really want to get as close to my goal by 9 months as possible. I believe that is the time the Dr said was my best opportunity for weight loss. I have 45 pounds til my goal. To some, that might sound like a huge amount, but for me..I am getting so close! * smile*
