18 Months Post-Op

Oct 26, 2009

I can not believe it's been 2 1/2 months since I posted anything.  Seems like everyone has taken a break from this site lately.  My weight has really plateaued for months now, although I've been pushing myself the past two weeks with a refined diet.  Trying to cut even more carbs and fat out, not that I had alot to begin with.  But I cut down on the Atkins bars, peanut butter and peanuts and replaced with Special K High Protein cereal, cottage cheese, and tuna fish, etc.  That seemed to work as after one week I dropped 6 lbs and another 1/2 lb this week.

Shopping for Halloween costumes was actually fun this year.  I had choice of anything since they all fit.  I settled on a vampire costume, maybe I'll post cause I thought I looked good!  Lots of compliments on the costume and my weight.

I have roughly 10 lbs to reach my goal weight.  I'm about 185 lbs now and still maintain my chart on here.  Always an up/down battle week to week.  I continue my combination of strength training machines and cardio about 4 times a week.  My muscle tone is better than it's ever been my entire life!!!

I am meeting with my surgeon on Thursday to see if I can stop taking the ulcer medication.  I haven't had issues in quite some time and I'd like to cut down on the pills.  He's going to run a scope down and take a look.  We'll see.

Every now and then I look at some of your profiles and I see how well everyone's doing.  Keep up the great job right thru the holidays!
