And the weight just keep falling off!
Jul 14, 2011
Ok so I am almost 3.5 months post op and I must say I am pleasantly surprised at my progress. I have lost 63 pounds, my lab work is normal, and I feel great! I have started to work out about 3 times a week and I am good with taking all my vitamins...most days. My hair did start to shed a little last month, but it is not that bad and barely noticeable. It tends to shed more when I wash it, but it is nothing like I expected it to be! I am averaging anywhere between 3-5 pound weight loss per week! So to make sure that I don't start to look flabby I try to tone every other day and get my cardio in at least 3 times per week and that seems to be working for me! My eating is about the same, I still don't really have an appetite, but I do manage to get about 60 grams of protein per day. I am really starting to notice a big difference in my appearance and so have all my friends and co-workers. My scrubs are falling off me so much now that I am being forced to buy new ones and that is after already gaoing back to work in scrubs 2 sizes smaller than what I was before. So I have dropped about 3-4 sizes since my surgery!! I am just in lala land right now and my scale hasn't been in the 270's since I got married 5 years ago! I still have a long way to go, but I doing what I am suppose to do by eating right and exercising and that is the key!! I don't deprive myself, but it is definitely in moderation. If I want a cookie, I have ONE cookie. This surgery has completely changed my relationship with food. Well until next time!
