Met with my Surgeon Today

Apr 04, 2009

In another 9 days (the 13th) I will be 3 months out from RNY.  I met with Dr. C today to go over my progress or lack of progress thus far.  My highest weight before surgery(Jan 1, 2009) was 315lbs.  The day of surgery, Jan 13th, 2009, I was at 300lbs.  Today, almost 3 months out I am at 251.  That's a loss of 64lbs from my highest weight and 49lbs since surgery.  In order to maximize my honeymoon period, I should be at 230lbs now which puts me 21lbs behind.  Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Except for the last 2 weeks I've been exercising.  I'd say I've been eating right 95% of the time.  I say 95% because I went to Vegas for a week and didn't plan well enough.  I did lose 2.8lbs while I was in Vegas so my choices were not all that bad.  Anyway, Dr. C suggested I up my exercise and be accountable to someone like a workout group or trainer.  Also, I'll call Amy the nutritionist and talk with her about my diet every week to go over my food journal.   I'll meet again with Dr. C in June and his goal for me then is to be down to 215lbs.  That's 36lbs in the next 9 weeks.  4lbs a week.  Right now all I've been averaging is 3lbs a week.  I can already tell my weekly weigh in's are going to be extremely stressful and full with anxiety up until weigh in day .
