10 week update - August 31st

Aug 31, 2009

I'm 10 weeks from VSG as of today and I've lost another 2 lbs this week. My weight this morning is 250. I really wanted to get below 250 by the end of the week but I can't complain about a two pound loss. I guess slow and steady wins the race. I hurt my back again this last week. I worked out two days (last Sunday and Monday) and woke up on Tuesday and couldn't get out of bed. My lower back now pops when I move a certain way. One of the nurses at work thinks I may have arthritis. So... needless to say I have not worked out at all since the injury. Guess I can't complain about only losing two pounds when I spent most of my week sitting at a desk.
I'm expecting my period in the next week and my record is showing that I don't gain during this time. As a matter of fact I usually gain during this time. I think I'm prepared for this but when it happens it sure feels like I've lost all the weight I am going to. I guess this stems from my past record of diet failures.

I'm trying to eat pretty healthy. I've started eating lower carbs this week to see if I can jump start my weight loss. I want to keep my calories up to 1200 but when I'm not getting that many carbs I really don't get in enough calories. I've only had about 900 and change today. I wanted to eat more but couldn't fit any more in.

This week will be a great adventure on a very interesting journey. I'm loving my sleeve.
