Week 18 Post-Op Update
Jun 10, 2011
Technically my 18th week surgiversary was 2 days ago (my surgery was done on a Thursday). So where am I in my weight loss journey now? Well I was fortunate enough to have a nice run of weight loss recently that helped me break through, & get some distance on the 300 Lb barrier. For 3 days now I'm yo-yoing between 292 & 295. I'm not letting it freak me out though because I've seen this yo-yo crap after every cycle of loss that I've had since my surgery. It's almost like my body is desperately trying to hang onto the weight & I just have to keep the pressure on until it finally breaks free & I start to loose again. Then I get about a week of the scale dropping daily (Thank GAWD!).OK, tough subject now... This week I've become keenly aware that as much I love spending hour upon hour on this forum, that there's a whole life out there that I'm missing out on. So don't take this personally.. but OH friends... I need some ME TIME. I'll still check in & make my posts each week. But like many other folks on here, I'm no longer a newbie. I'm several months post-op & it's time that I cut the cord & go out in to the real world. I'm thankfull that I got the support I needed. I got the educartion I needed. I got the confidence I needed. Now I know I can do this & so long as I stick to the program it works. Besides, I'd hate to end up like some of the so called "VETS" that sit on here all day, day after day, just dying for interaction.. even if that interaction is negative bullshit & fighting! Some of them seem to actually crave the fighting & go picking fights. Well I'm over it! I say "Via Con Dios" to the keyboard commandos (you assholes know who you are). To the rest of you I say, keep it positive, stay vigilant on your diet, your supplements, & your exercise, & go out into the real world. This forum is cool but it's only a tool.
