No Longer As Frustrated



Recommended Posts

Last week, I made a post about my frustration with my weight loss (or lack thereof) and today I am still in the same boat. I only lost .4 pounds this week which is frustrating BUT I took my measurements today and I have lost 4 inches overall in the last 2 weeks. I attribute this to the hot yoga classes that I have been doing. It's a lot less frustrating seeing minimal weight loss on the scale when I know that I am losing fat but gaining muscle.

To see my measurements and more information about my journey, visit my blog http://adventuresinlapbandland.blogspot.com/

That was one big mistake I made from the beginning I never took my measurements and wish I had. I know that I am losing inches even when the scale doesn't move as my clothes start to fall off :)

Same regret here. Plus, I put aside a garment to compare with and now have mistakenly discarded it. I rarely took pictures in the past, so I really have very little to look back on.

Thanks for the reminder to take measurements -- I have been doing that monthly since just before surgery and was due for a new set if numbers at the end of January. I love the pants size as a way to Celebrate success. Started at 18 long and now in 14 long same brand Lee jeans. Hate the scale for standing still or going up then down then up, etc., but loving my pants. Important to remember it's about health and comfort and energy levels, etc., not just the bloody scale.

Well a little something is better than nothing. Just be patient, keep following your doctor's orders and you will lose. This journey doesn't happen overnight. Good luck.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
