Things I found that seem to be working.
Feb 26, 2013
I am as of November of 2012 7 years post-op. Since then I have been at the lowest weight of 125 pounds, which from a black girls point of view was not a good look on me. My date of surgery weight was 275 pounds and on a 5'7" frame that was not a good look either. About a week ago I hit an all time low in my book since my surgery. I hopped on that trusty scale and stared at the number that stared back at me and I think my mouth was open as I stood there looking at that damn number 167 pounds.
OMG! I thought how could I let this happen? Why did I let this happen? When the doctor called and told me I had the stool build up in my colon and the dietary plan that I would have to follow for the next month I took the bull or the weight in my case by the fat pounds and went to work. I have been working out twice a day nothing crazy like insanity or anything on that level I have been getting on the treadmill and walking the 1 mile as it started out in the morning and then again in the evening.
I take the stares at work all they way up to the 4th floor. I am mindful to chew 25 time with each bite which as I now remember requires larger bites to make it the full 25...LOL I am not drinking 30 minutes before or after I eat. I have not had the need to snack through out the day since I have a desk job and I need to ensure I get the minimum of 64 ounces of water so that is what,s at my desk the big cup of water with ice.
I did slip up last night and I ate a crescent roll and I thought my stomach was gonna fall over into my ass cause it came right out and it did not go gently in the night it went it oh so nicely and came out fighting. So I will be sticking to plan that has been laid out for me. I also found that I had to get back to planning my meals. If they are not planned that is when I fall off the wagon and roll off in the ditch.
I wonder when those tried and true things we were taught at the beginning can be tweeked or revised? I wonder what other tricks people have adopted over time. I have read most of the books and I find that they are mostly a re=printed word smithed version of the other book before it.
