Close to First Goal

Sep 10, 2009

I am trying very hard to lose this nine pounds.  I am working out really hard.  I now exercise 5 times a week.  I can tell that my body is changing.  At times I wish it was so much faster.  I am working very hard at losing the weight.  The myth that surgery is a fast fix is very much a myth.  I pushing my self very hard.  I will say that with the VSG you still have to struggle with control because you can eat anything that you please.  I still struggle with sweets.  Bad I know but I am being honest.  I also am surprised at the changes in my body.  I was not prepared for the sagging skin.  I think we all hope that when we lose the weight that we have this great waist line and look like a thin model. Not the case, my breast now have this horse shoe effect, where before they were a little more plump.  I am very glad I had the surgery, dont get me wrong., but I am now facing the challenges of being  7 months out.   The other thing I will say is that I was so late to join a gym, I became a member of the YMCA, I told everyone upfront that I had wls, this is the most supporting group of people to work out with.  I wish I would have done it sooner.  Write later.
