I began my Journey on February 6, 2012. I have lost 47 pounds to date. I was not on any pre surgery diet that is the total amount since surgery. I lost 32 the first month 15 the second month. I have been working out about 5 times a week. I am trying to prepare for a marathon. Its only 2 miles but I have been trying to walk 2 miles at least 2 times a week. I have been doing zumba also. Losing the weight has allowed me to exercise without the joint pain! In the beginning I tried to do no carbs, I notice my weight loss was slower during that time. I add carbs back and the weight started to fall back off. I know everyone’s body is different but adding the carbs back worked better for me! I have one premier chocolate protein a shake for breakfast every day; I actually like that shake it is like a treat to me. I have a long ways to go, I want to lose 100 more pounds. Things I have notice after the surgery that I don’t like is I can’t sleep at night. I have a prescription for Ambien now to sleep. If I don’t take it I never go into a deep sleep and wake up every hour on the hour. Maybe it’s because I have more energy now, I am not sure. Pre weight loss I slept like a baby at night 8-9 hours and could take a nap at the drop of a dime!
