10 Months Post Op
Nov 20, 2009
Where do I start...... It's been months since I've updated. I tried on my eighth month but my computer froze and I lost everything I wrote. So, I wasn't about to write it all again.Anyway, the last time I wrote I was following my diet and exercise plan but was still having problem losing. I didn't make my surgeon's goal of 195, I weighed in at 204 the day of our meeting in August. He suggested a 600 calorie diet which I tried to stay on for the next month. This had me cooking my meals which consisted mostly of no bean turkey chili, veggie burgers and tuna patties. My morning breakfast was a grande SB nonfat iced latte. His new goal for me was to meet again in September and see how the 600 calorie diet went. When I met him in September I weighed in at 185lbs. Obviously the 600 calorie diet had worked and I surpassed my expectations and his by losing 19lbs in a month. He advised me to continue what I was doing and we'd meet again in November hopefully at goal of 160lbs. Well, October I went on a trip to Vegas and everything just went downhill from there. Needless to say, I did not make the best choices and continued to make those bad choices when I returned from vacation. October was spent eating practically everything I wanted and more. The portion sizes were more than I should have had, I was carb overloading and eating all the things that put me on the destructive road to obesity. It's scary to think that being that big again is still possible even after this surgery. I've known that it is possible and only I can turn things around to get back on the right path. Although in my head, I know what I'm doing wrong and I know in my head what I need to do to get back on track, for some reason, there isn't that motivation there to get back on track. I'm not sure if it's because I'm comfortable where I'm at, I really just don't know what it is. I want to reach my goal of 160, I just need to get my head in the right place to get there. This journey is not only learning how to get the food under control, but, to get your mind in that right frame also. I'm out of control right now and I know it....... I'm thankful that my weight is still going down slowly but it really is not coming off with any help from me. Right now, it's the surgery and malabsorption that is helping me out. My weight this morning is 175lb!!!
