Eight Weeks Post-Op
Dec 12, 2011
This is my first blog ever and my first documentation of this journey. I am eight weeks post op and have lost 28 pounds since surgery. I can't lie about the fact that I am disappointed in this number. I feel like I could have easily lost that much on weight watchers. But the point is to get below the point I have always been able to get to on my own. I have to believe that will happen.
That being said I am scared that I am going to fail at this like I have every other diet. I have joined a gym and bought a trainer to work me out once a week. I also go on my own four days a week. The goal is to stay as ahead of sagging skin as possible. I want to do a good job. I want to give this my best shot.
I still worry. I can eat ALOT. Even on the liquid diet I could eat three shakes, a cup of oatmeal and a cup of broth. I can eat all the proteins, up to 5-6 oz of fish or chicken at a time, with no problem. I can eat again a few hours later. I can also eat fatty foods; bacon, beef, no problem! I just can not have sugar and with that restriction comes all flour. Thank God or I would be in huge trouble! I have noticed that I am starting to snack. I think I need a shrink pronto.
I have to fight the feeling that this surgery was completely unnecessary. That I will continue my same habits and never lose or at least gain back what I have lost like I have every other time.
I have my meals planned and my gym clothes packed so I can meet the trainer right after work. I am determined to keep a positive attitude and redirect my thinking when any of the above fears creep in. Probably going to need a lot of help with this.
