One Month Post-Op

Mar 16, 2010

Hello All!

Well, I am one month out and between 11-13 lbs down.    Not going to lie...I was hoping it would be more, but steady as she goes...I didn't gain all this weight in one month, I shouldn't expect to lose it in one month.

I get my first fill next Wed, on the 24th! So....from there, I should be seeing more substantial weight loss. My surgeon had me on solid foods a week out, so compared to some, I have lost less because others were on liquid/mushie diet for 3-4 weeks.  So please, others reading, don't get discouraged from my weight loss compared to the other stories that you read. 

I begin working out today!!! I am really excited about this, because I know its only going to influence more weight loss.  It's not going to be like the old days where I killed myself in the gym and didn't see any improvement!

Right now my weakness is pizza.  I am not even sure why??? I never really cared for pizza before.  Usually at work, we all buy a pizza because we are to busy to go anywhere.  It sucks, but I have been bringing my lunch now for probably like 3 weeks now.  I did have a slice, and it was delicious! But my guilt took over me.  I don't want to start to relapse so early in the game.  So I have been good! 

This past week 3 people noticed that I have been losing weight.....awwww yeah! My boss even told me that he has noticed a change in my attitude.  That I am not getting sluggish midday like I used to.  A HUGE reason for this is because of what I am eating.  I am not eating things that are too heavy.  I am eating breakfast every morning-something I never did before.  AND NO SODA! Tea, Milk, and WATER WATER WATER. 

I will take my measurements this evening when I have someone who can help me, lol. From there, I will track my measurements monthly.  I think, I am not sure yet.  I haven't noticed in my clothes the weight loss yet, however, they are probably fitting like they are supposed too! They were most likely to tight before!!!! But, I have noticed in my jeans for sure that the thigh area has a lot more room. 

Well boys and girls,  that's all I have for right now.  I am off to the gym! 

Thanks for all the support!
