reaching my goal

JAN 27 2007

Oct 27 2006 weighing in @ 245. today i go in for my surgury and i feel okay my stomach is a little sore but over all I'm ok. I was told to sip on liquids for the next 2 weeks, i think that lasted for about 7 days than i started drinking chicken noodles broth. and shortely after that i was eating regular. I went to the MD for my 2 week check up and lost about 10 pounds I was so excited. He scheduled me for another appointment the following month, I was down another 5 pounds, this was over the Thanksgiving break I tasted a little of everything, I did'nt have a taste for junk food as i usually do. My next appointment was Dec 27, and I was weighing in @224, I just know i gained weight because of all the food from Christmas, but to my surprise I lost. At that time I got my first fill 1cc, I wanted the doctor to add more to my fill but he insist that 1cc is enough, and he will increase the fill every 2 months. My goal is to lose 100 pounds bring me to 145-150. My next fill is 2/27. Its 3 months as of today and so far I have lost a total of 21 pounds per my last weigh in at my MDO but I've purchased a scale(worst move i made) and my scales tells me I'm between 215-216, so on record I'm 21 pounds smaller off record I'm 30 pounds smaller. :clap2: latley I've been snacking more than I like, I love puff cheese dodlles and woppers candy. i started walking anywhere from 1-3 miles, but not consistantly. I would like to lose an average of 15 pounds a month, it looks like I'm about 10 pounds a month which isn't bad but they say the weight loss slows down and I have a long way to go. about 70 pounds to go. i want to reach my goal within a year of surgery so that about 8 pounds a month, and so far I'm on the right road. :scared: but i'm afriad if i start walking and cutting my calories the doctor isn't going to fill my band because he may think its working at the size i'm at. :faint:
