20 WEEKS!
Jan 23, 2011
So I am now 5 months out and 263 pounds! I have lost 73 pounds so far and have 73 more to go in order get to my goal of 190. I recently went shopping and I am now in a size 20 pants and a size 18/20 shirt! I have been using the treadmill at least 3 times a week but would like to add in more days but time just doesn’t allow for it. Something is better than nothing. I still eat 3 or 4 times a day but I have been trying to add in more protein to get in the NUT’s requirement of 75 grams. I can tell you that this far out..it gets easier to eat things that I have no business eating, like cake and biscuits. Even if it’s a bite or two, I feel like it sends me on a downward spiral. It’s best that I stick to protein and veggies and at one meal I allow myself a spoonful of carbs to take make myself feel like I am normal. I am now starting to get bored with my menu and have started searching for quick meals that are high in protein and low in carbs so that I won’t stray. I had a couple NSVs. My hips don’t touch the sides of my truck door and center console anymore, I have room on both sides! But now I have to learn how to sit so that I am comfortable, LOL. When I walk, even though my thighs still rub together, its not nearly as bad as it used to be! I’m sure that I have more NSV but I tend to not notice things. I have noticed that its harder for me to eat in the morning than before, it seems I have more restriction at breakfast and that I can eat more once its dinner time, not sure what that’s about. I have also been trying to drink plain water, I still can’t finish a whole bottle at one time but again some is better than none, I am so tired of carrying around to go packs lol. I can’t think of anything that has changed, if I do, I’ll hold it for my next update at 24 weeks! I am so happy that I had this surgery!!
