We are doing so good. I am stalled for the past 4-5 days but I understand this happens, so I am just going with the flow and trying to get in at least 60g of proteins and some water, no where near the 64 oz. Today I am at over 20oz of water.
I have given so many of my clothes away, but I refuse to buy more until I have to, which I hope is not soon.0 -
I am STILL at my leave-the-hospital weight! It's crazy! I emailed the clinic and they are not worried about it. I'm going to take my food journal with me to my 6 week appointment in December. Yes, I lost a lot with the pre-op diet and at the hospital, and I'm probably down half a size in pants. But I was really hoping to be down a nice chunk before my niece's wedding on the 21st. Not that it would be noticeable to anyone else, but I would have the boost of confidence knowing I was on my way. I so wish I had the surgery in June like I was originally should have. But things happen for a reason, so they say.
Ok, just a little venting or whatever this is.

I'm only down 19lbs. My doctor wasn't thrilled, but he wasn't mad or anything. He would like to see me lose six more pounds by Sunday. I laughed. I'm hitting my protein goals, not getting too many calories, being active, and getting my water. My body just wants to hang on to it for now. I'm irritated, but I know it'll come off...it took me since I was 13 to put it on!
On the plus side (no pun intended) I was already taken off my high blood pressure meds! Woo hoo! My goal is health, so I'll TAKE IT!0 -
Touché - took me 35 years to put it on, should take me more than 35 days to take it off. 0

Ok, per my weird scale, down 2 pounds this morning. I'm writing that down before it changes its mind! I think I need to invest in a good scale.

Another couple of pounds down! It seems to have started falling off now that I'm eating soft foods. Bought a new scale at Target today, mainly to see it is a bit more reliable. It was cheaper than I thought it would be.

I hit a stall for a bit, but now that I'm walking regularly and hitting at least 10k steps, it's just falling off here! MOVEMENT!0

I am still only down about 12ish pounds since surgery 10/14, but down 55 from my high. I think the problem is I haven't been walking. It's my own fault. I have every excuse in the book. I hate that it is dark when I get home. I have pretty severe neuropathy and my feet just hurt too much by the end of the day. And then the general stressers My house is a f-ing pit and I blame my husband for most of that. I'm not perfect (!), but his lack of cleanliness has been an enabler for me. My husband is in school (1st semester of grad school) and I have learned that he doesn't handle stress well - and this is a stresser on me. He will be done tomorrow and after he has a couple of days to de-stress, we are going to have a "come to Jesus" talk about a few things.
I get to take the 4 hour round trip drive to my surgeon's office for the 6 week check in, so dreading the lecture. The thing is, what I'm NOT doing is the stuff I was supposedly supposed to get in the habit of during the 6 months leading up to surgery. Physically/surgically I feel great. Tolerating everything I've eaten, even had my first salad last night.
Ok, that is my venting for the day. smiley:0 -
@GoDasher , have you thought about doing something in the morning? I've been hitting the gym pretty hard on work days. The gym I'm a member of happens to be on my way to work, so I am there by 5:15am to get in about 40 minutes, then again on my way home to do weights and about 40 more minutes of cardio. My weight loss has been slower than I'd like, but I'm happy where I am. My highest was in Aug, I'm 58 pounds down from there. My surgery was 10/15 and I'm 35 down from there.
It makes me laugh at this point because I'm so gung ho about working out. I have my membership at the primary gym I go to. I see a trainer once a week there. My surgeon gave us a free year membership to a gym associated with the hospital system he's with. And now, my mom is in for a month and scored me a 1-month free membership to the gym she's affiliated with. I feel like a gym rat. 0 -
@NicoleL874 I love that you have become a gym rat! That is what I want to be! My primary care doc's big concern was substituting one addiction for another -> food for drugs, alcohol, sex (meaning not your sig other!), etc. My goal is to substitute working out!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!0 -
Eh, go slowly when you do finally start. I have apparently jumped in too hard too quickly. Right from the start, in the hospital, I noticed a pulling in my right heel/ankle area. It's progressively gotten worse when I'm not working out. Apparently, I have Achilles insertional tendonitis. (the spot on the heel where the Achilles tendon connects) I have to get a soft compression sock and I have to cut back on my walking to let it heal. BLECH. So, I guess once a day for a while. *sigh*
If the gym were closer and/or the weather better, I may transfer addictions. But, I don't want to drive the 20 minutes when the mood strikes, lol!0 -
