Wow, a month really flew by quickly! It does not seem like it has been that long.

 

For the most part I am feeling good. I still get heartburn when I eat most of the time. I saw the doctor yesterday and he that it could either be that I am eating too fast still or it could be actual heartburn. I honestly do not know how I could possibly be eating too fast. I feel like I eat extremely slowly. I even downloaded an app called “Eat Slower”. You set the time intervals and it chimes at you when it is time to take a bite. But the doctor said that my sleeve is still swollen from surgery. It takes 6-8 weeks for the swelling to completely go down. So heartburn is not an issue until my 3 month visit. If I am still experiencing heartburn then he will have to order an upper GI. Here’s to hoping that the heartburn goes away. He also gave me a prescription to help with it for now.

 

One concern that I did have for the doctor was the rate of my weight loss. It seems like a lot of people that had their surgery at the same time or after I did have lost more weight. He said that my rate of weight loss is good and that I have nothing to worry about. At 6 months is when it would be time to worry if I am losing weight too slowly. That was encouraging. I feel like that once I get back to work in a week and a half that I will start losing faster. 1) I am on my feet moving all day long and 2) the gym that I belong to is right by where I work. These two things will definitely help. I am still not exercising as much as I really should.

 

Tomorrow I am going to Denver. I am super excited. I have never been and am looking forward to it. I am still on my pureed diet however, which puts a small damper on the trip. But I think getting out of the house and exploring Denver will be a good thing for me. Get me ready to go back to work and kick start activity.

 

The last thing that I am still have trouble with is getting all my liquid in. Still not hitting that 64oz target. The dietician said that as long as I am getting to at least 50oz right now I am doing well. But I really want to get that 640z.

 

Thanks again to all who are reading. I appreciate the support and hope that my journey can help someone with theirs.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
