  1. Day 12 Post-Op

    · peprmentpati · 05/30/2010 17:27

    I'm still on liquids phase (3-week perscribed) and I'm just starting to feel like myself again. I'm down to 309 (-34.8 lbs)! I'm really loving these changes! I'll have to see what happens after my first fill which isn't until 7/1/10...

    Today is a lovely sunny day!
    My weigh in amount = 337.8
    So it crept up for the second day. Gee, I wonder if those chicken wings had anything to do with it? LOL
    Anyway - that's it for now, I'm still in the game!
     
    till tomorrow...

    Today's weight is 336.2
     
    I'm up again. I'm not upset about it though, I know what I'm doing is working but I still want to be honest wih myself by posting my true numbers.
     
    A new day, I'm feeling good.

    Well today's weight is...335.4
     
    I'm up by 1.4 pounds. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm weighing in daily to see the which foods affect me differently, and to keep myself honest. Again, I ate white flour products in the form of macaroni and cheese that I made from scratch. I need to avoid those because they make me feel heavy and I have low energy. I would have to equate it to when an alcoholic falls off the wagon. The next they feel like total shit - well that's where I'm at. I feel sort of sluggish, so I threw all the leftovers away.
     
    By the way, I'm back on the wagon so to speak.
     
    Until tomorrow...I'll be feeling good

    I hit my 10 pound loss today!!!

    Start Date on 3/11/10 weighing in at 344
    Today = 334

    Yay!!!

    I've lost weight many times in my life, it's funny how in the beginning of something it seems so scary even if you've done it before. I'm just glad I'm doing something. Oh yeah - I had a light bulb moment last night before I went to bed. It finally clicked in my brain that there isn't something wrong with my internally, psychologically, etc. Somehow I kept thinking there was some outside reason that I had a problem with over eating but now I realize that it was just because I liked doing it. It was just that I was too ashamed to admit it to myself or others, I suppose because that would then make it my fault. In reality, I guess it has been. There is something truly liberating about not being a "victim" anymore!

    Today, I'm feeling enlightened and hopeful!

    God Bless

    So today's weight is.... 338.4.
     
    It went up by 2.2 pounds within 24 hours. As many of us on this site probablly knows that when we lose weight our body does strange things. I know for sure that I haven't over ate or binged for that matter. I decided to weigh in daily to "scientifically" track my weight loss by logging my food intake based on calories and content. what I've come to realize is that, for me, what I enjoy right now isn't good for me even in small portions. Basically put, I need to avoid heavier carbs at the present time because they seem to want to stick to me like glue.
     
    63 days and counting
    It's a lovely day and I'm feeling good!!!!

    weight = 341.8
     
    I forgot to mention that I have to lose weight before surgery date. My weight goal for surgery is 317. I need to lose 24.8 pounds or more within the next 68 days. I'll be weighing in daily to track progress.
     
     
    here's to wishing me luck...:tt1:
