my thoughts after being 16months out
Jun 08, 2010
OK i find it to be a long life diet. you can call it a life style change but the fact still remains, you must continue to watch calories and workout, when i first read about this surgery i thought wow after years of being over weight i can now not be with the help of the surgery and never be over weight again, well its a good thing to think that way till the real truth hits after many long months. i find that for me to get to goal i must change what i eat every few week. i can stay my longest stall has only been 3 weeks even before the surgery, but i have to be so so focus and it is so hard sometimes.when i was thinking about, i thought i would only be able to eat 1oz of food for ever and never be hungry again, well i as wrong. it seem like i can eat as much as i did before. well since my surgery i have loss 135lbs. if i wasn't to lose more weight i have to remember how did i lose this weight. was it because i could eat so little and absorb so much?
well it is true at first but how can i lose now?
i found a way to lose weight but it is a hard one to do.
protein veggies some fruits and whole grains.
well i found out that i can eat sugar but i stay away from white simple carbs.
wheat is a killer for me. i don't get sick right away from it. but 4hr later i can feel it coming.
so i eat soy flour (NOT SO GOOD TASTING) but its better then getting sick hours later.
also flex seed has been good too. well i only been cooking and baking with those two whole grain foods.
i have committed to the low carb life style i find when i eat so little carb i don't feel as hungry like when i eat high carb foods.
well this journey has been very hard over 2year losing weight i wonder sometimes when will it be over, well i know the losing weight journey is almost over but a new one is about to begin
on and i just have to say. i was told 8months ago i could not make it to goal and i would only get down to 198lbs. well i sure showed her it was a nurse at my surgeon's office that said that. that just go to show you doctors don't know everything,
in time i will get there it mite not be this month but i will. the key is to never give up,because once you do its all over.
