20 months post-op & gaining...ugh!
May 04, 2010
I have been coasting for several months now, hovering between 149 - 156, with fairly predictible fluctuations....but now I am scared. When I weighed in yesterday morning, I weighed a little over 159. While I realize it is my week of the month to retain water, and I know I ate out more during the past week due to celebrations of my birthday, 159 is unacceptable. I haven't weighed that much in over a year and I will not be over 160 again! I am determined.
Thanks to my dear friend Lori at work, we are logging our food intake, and I am trying to be good. Unfortunately, I struggle at home. My husband and children fight me every step of the way when it comes to eating healthy. It is hard to leave it alone if it is there.
Hopefully by writing this, it will help me stay focused on my self-care needs, and get me moving and back-on-track!

I have been struggling between 152 and 156 for about three months...maybe this illness will be the strange push I needed to get back on the losing band-wagon.
My bone density scan and additional labs all came back good!
I found a new chewable multivitamin that I like.
I even have a new hairstyle...I'll have to update my avatar soon!
Take Care All!

1 Year Surgiversary :-)

I have not had my one year check-up yet due to changing insurance and scheduling issues. I will be doing that on September 21st. I am anxious to hear my lab results. I am feeling good physically. I am barely losing any more weight. I have about 17-20 pounds to go. I have been fluctuating between 155-152 this month. I have tried to return to logging my food to track my protein and carbs, so that I can be more cautious with my carb intake, but it has been hard to keep up with it. I am still trying to get my family out of financial duress, otherwise I would have afforded a gym membership so that I can build some tone/muscle. I am wearing size 12 and 14 pants and medium or large shirts. I have been doing better with taking all my supplements each day. I still look the same as my 11 month picture so I probably won't post a new one for a couple of months.

I have lost 80 pounds, give or take 1-3 pounds on any given day. I confess, I still do not fomally exercise, I feel guilty for not doing so, but I also find it difficult to either schedule it, pay for it, or simply experience the drive to Just Do It!
I have 10 pounds to go to get to my second goal (I reached my first goal 20 pounds ago). I have 20 pounds to go before I reach my third and final goal.
I'd like to get down one more clothing size, and I'm close.
I do not know my surgeon's goal. I will try to remember to ask at my one year check-up.
I am very anxious for my one year follow-up lab results. I suspect something is deficient. I have been having some weird symptoms around my monthly cycles. I am wondering about iron deficiency. We'll find out soon!
I'll try to get my avatar fixed soon and add a current photo too.
