1 month Bandaversary

Hey all, so today is my one month post op mark. I decided to start a blog today aswell because I just felt like I needed to share my progress with people that are on the same mission as I am.

 

Ok well I decided when I started this that I would take pictures, measure, and weight monthly. I have cheated a lot with the weighing part (it's so hard not to weigh) BUT I am trying to control myself because it is now often dissapointing.

 

I have lost 24 lbs since the begining of my post op diet. And 11 of that was during the post op diet, so in reality I have only lost 13 lbs.

I feel pretty dissapointed in myself because I didn't start working out till this last Saturday, but I have been getting up early to work out, which was the hardest part! I have a friend that is helping me and texting me in the morning to wake up and get my lazy butt out of bed. It's a little easier now that is has gotten a little warmer outside. I am only doing at home work out DVD's and I feel like that isn't a great work out but it's all I can do for now until the wether gets nicer and I can take my daughter on walks with me. OR SOMETHING. I like working out in the morning so much more then night, but my daughter is only 7 so it's hard to get out of the house to work out.

 

I am trying to stay positive, I may not have lost the pounds but I have lost inches on all my measurements, so I am happy about that.

I am trying to stay focused on the exercise and keeping the protein in my meals.

 

I think it's time for a fill though and that sucks! I was hoping to not need one for awhile, but I am not really feeling the restriction anymore, but then again it could just be in my head since I am so new this it's hard to tell.

 

Well if you are reading this, thanks and good luck to you! I am excited to see where this journey takes me.

I was banded 2 months ago. I am currently down 28lbs in total. 13 of that was on the post op diet, which means 15 lbs in 2 months. Try to remember that the average weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs per week. You have lost over 3 lbs a week! Good job. Also try to think back to all the other diets you have been on, have any of them lasted a month and proven to loss 15 lbs of weight thats never coming back???? Its the never coming back part that I love. Ive lost weight on diets before, but its always come back again, and brought about 10lbs worth of friends.......... but this time its not going to be like that. Your doing awesome! Hang in there, its not an over night cure, its a life change. Anything thats going to change something as big as the rest of forever............. is going to take time.
