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 .
