3 1/2 Months Post Op

I am 3 1/2 months post op & had my 3rd fill this past week. I also had the "pleasure" of getting weighed (bleh). I seemed to have hit a plateau, no weight gain tho & only 1/2 lb loss in over a month.

So, reviewing what has been going on & fearing the worse--that this surgery was in vain--I came up with this: 1) I stopped working out almost all of February

2) I was eating cheese (yay! a protein!) w/crackers (duh a carb)

3) Since I dont drink tea, coffee, crystal lite etc---I added fruit juice (hello sugars!)

4) Come on! a few pieces of chocolate arent that bad! right???

So after the weigh in, there was a class in the Dr's office. And I do believe the nurse was speaking directly to me!! The reminders of sticking to the diet, exercising etc. But what really hit home--she said to go back to the beginning & just do the 2 shakes a day & the protein.

Soooooo.....I weighed myself today---down 3 lbs!!!

Sometimes its the simplest, easy things you need to do. Keep it simple! Exercise & the diet plan--it really does work!

I feel better than I have felt in a long time---I think also giving up diet coke made a huge difference in my stomach problems. Kinda funny how when I use whitening strips now, my teeth are getting whiter!! You just dont realize all that stuff you're putting in your body till you give it up & see a difference.

I also believe Im having a mid life crisis---wanting to do all the things I felt self conscious of doing or couldnt because of my weight. So I made up list & a have so much going on & so much planned!! And a shout out to Groupon for some of the things I would never have found or thought to do!

2012 is awesome so far!!
