3 Month Check Up
I had my 3 month check up yesterday. My surgeon was very happy with me. I've lost 70 lbs in 3 months. I went from 320 lbs to 250 lbs. I need to work on not snacking in between meals and no drinking during meals also my vitamin D levels were a little bit low. I can definitely tell a huge difference and people are starting to notice the loss. I'm losing all my weight from my belly. My boobs aren't getting any smaller and the doctor noticed that as well. He said that it's a really good thing that I'm losing from my belly. However I will have excess there. :( Which I didn't want to hear. My weight loss has definitely slowed down. I hope to be in the "onderland" by 8 months post op. I exercise every other day. I'm drinking a premier protein shake for breakfast daily, a protein yogurt for lunch, and chicken or salmon for dinner. I have, sadly, discovered my slider foods. I just have to keep reminding myself that this a journey and it doesn't happen overnight. Until next time.
Before surgery and 1 month post op
As you can see I've definitely lost some weight!
A couple days past my 1 month anniversary date :)
I know it's been a little bit since I've posted. I've been busy with work, home and the holidays. I now weigh 278 lbs I've been at that weight for about a week or so now. I'm not weighing myself everyday, I weigh myself about once a week. I walk about an hour everyday and I'm going to get a gym membership so I can do more. I'm still having some issues with not snacking, and knowing when I'm full. I haven't thrown up, not even once since the surgery but there have been times where I was close. I've also learned that I no longer like eggs or coffee. I've been able to eat pretty much what I have wanted. I just have to remember to chew my food thoroughly. I have to remember to eat as well. I often forget to eat throughout the day and when I get home I'm quite famished. If I drink water to quickly that makes me want to be sick but it passes with time. Remember sip, sip, sip. I will admit I'm absolutely terrible at keeping track of everything. Meaning I don't count how much water I drink or how much protein I get in. I know I really need to. It's something I need to make an effort towards. I do make sure pretty much everything I take in is either sugar free or low sugar. My number one priority is protein. Before I eat something I see how much protein is in it. I'm trying to come up with a meal plan but I don't really have enough information as to what the best plan would be. I don't like protein shakes. I used to be able to tolerate them, now I despise them. I eat a protein bar for breakfast, lunch I usually have something small like SF pudding, mashed potatoes, and for dinner I have chicken, or salmon and a steamed vegetable. I never really eat the vegetables I'm usually full on the protein. That's about everything. I'll post some pictures here soon.
Provider Review
Dr. Sherrod is an amazing surgeon. He knows his stuff and isn't afraid to explain something to you in a way you understand. He has great bedside manors and makes you feel good.
