Four Month Post Op
Jan 19, 2013
Yesterday marked my official four month post op. I am very pleased in what I have accomplished in this time. I am moving, breathing, and even sleeping better than I have for a very long time. It feels so great not to have to say four hundred and whatever pounds anymore. I'm still on the protein and it's funny now bc I've grown to actually like it and in the beginning i was like ewwwww...lol. I use Atkins and Designer's Whey...great stuff. Sometimes I find myself craving the bad foods but I have control so much better than I used to. If I was craving something starchy or sweet and didn't get it then I would develop a headache until I got it. I don't know if that was just a mental thing or what but it's no longer like that now. I have eaten a Mc Donald's regular small hamburger...well half of it because I still get full really fast. I know I still have a long journey to go. I'm no longer obsessed with the numbers on the scale...I can see the weight loss in my clothing and all the extra hanging skin..lol
Stats: Started @ 498 / Surgery Weight 470 / Last month 409 / This month 391 / So that's a total of 18 pounds this month. I've lost 78 pounds since surgery / 107 pounds total.
