5 Month Post-op Update

Oct 12, 2009

So as of Sunday I was down to 192. Last month My Doc had me go get a upper GI to make sure everything was as it was supposed to be. i am fine. He game me a fill of 1 cc about a week ago, and boy do I feel the difference. After a hellish weekend, I am committed to no more soda ever. I drank some of Friday at lunch and had that uncomfortable feeling all weekend, it was just air, but it sucked. I also, need to work on the eating slowly thing and to stop snacking when I am bored. I snacked like crazy on Sunday. Anyway, the problem that i am currently having is that I cannot get all my calories in even with the snacking. Prior to this fill I was at 1200 calories a day, now i am barely hitting 800 and at that low I do not lose. I work out at least 3 times a week or more and not getting enough calories really slows down the weight loss. It is really weird I think. My next milestone is to hit 50% lost which is about 13 lbs away (179). I am reassessing my goal weight. It is at 138 right now but to be a healthy BMI for my height and have a cushion I am shooting for 134. I cannot ever remember being below 145 ever. I do not know if it is realistic as I do have a larger frame, broad shoulders and basic muscular structure. Who knows! Anyway that is it on the weight loss front.

On the personal, I am trying the whole on line dating thing. It is so-so. Not impressed but not disappointed either. I totally have pictures up of me 20 lbs heavier, as i would want somebody to except me as I was and get the added bonus of the the hotness I am becoming. HEHE. We shall see. i will keep you posted. All in all it is slow and steady weight loss. Now if only i can fugue out how to stop myself form buying so many new clothes!
