10-month Surgiversary
Sep 27, 2010
Well, I made it thru my 2 cruises and had my giant pool birthday party (60 people came). I am just exhausted now, and relieved that my life may get back to normal for a while. I also started a new job in my same company last Monday and absolutely love it - I am out of IT and back into accounting which is where my heart is. I love accounting and missed it so much! Of course, I am working on the 2011 budget and will be working a LOT of hours the next 6 weeks, but I don't even care!My eating has been topsy-turvy. I gained 3 lbs on the first cruise, lost 2 lbs in the week afterwards, then gained 3 lbs on the second cruise. Then, I was getting the landscaping and house done for the pool party. So, all in all, I am still up about 3-4 lbs from my lowest weight, and about the same for the last month. And I am noticing I can eat a lot more now that I could a couple of months ago.
So, here is the most awesome news of all for me: I have been eating what I want when I want and even overeating on occasion, and have pretty much stayed the same. This has never been the case for me in my entire life!! I am in a size 16 now, and have lost over 60% of my excess weight. I can do anything I want, and have tons of energy. If I stay this weight the rest of my life, I will be perfectly content! However, I have decided I would like to head towards weighing 199 lbs (which is another 25 lbs or so) so I hope to spend the month of October losing a little more.
I do want to get a regular exercise program in place. There is a nice trail in back fo my house, and now that the pool is starting to get too cool to swim in, I am going to try to walk regularly. I am still going to the 2 support group meetings a month and I also still go to my Jenny Craig Counselor weekly to keep me accountable.
My marriage situation hasn't changed much. I am still in the process of trying to decide what to do about it. I am still reading "Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay" and hope that when I finish it I will have an answer. It is really hard to know what the best course of action is.
I will say again, if you are struggling with the decision of whether to have the sleeve, I say get off the fence and get on the bench!! And make sure you get bariatric counseling to succeed. My only regret is that I didn't do this when I was younger! I love my sleeve!!!!!!
