6 weeks

So I am six weeks out now and I am down to 221 which would be a total of 31lbs lost. I seem to be slowing down. I did have a 2 week stall where I did not loose anything and then it picked up again only to move at a snails pace...  I am happy to be down 31 lbs but would like to loose at least 4 lbs a week. I need to excersise more. Going back to work I just have not had the motivation to work out like I did while I was at home. 

I can pretty much eat whatever I want now. I just eat smaller portions and still do no carbs or sugars, no carbonation or alcohol. Also eat only good fats. I had a piece of bacon on Sunday and was sick for 2 hours after. Grease no bueno!!!

5 weeks out an 30 lbs gone!

Fast food Nation

So as I venture out into the world smaller and happier I notice the fast food places still irritate me. I don't reat crave fast food but being with my husband and kids in the car when they are hungry proves to be a small challenge. 

So today while my husband and I drive an hour to my surgeons office for my post op and an hour back we both get hungry at about noon. Ok normal. So I remember seing a commercial from chick Fil A that they offer grilled chicken bites. Yum! Lean Protein! 

So I order a kids meal that consists of fruit, grilled chicken and water. At first I was like, "wow, this is great", especially seeing my husband order the spicy crispy chicken sandwich and waffle fries.....but it was delish! I could not even eat it all! I had leftovers! So it can be done! You can eat healthy at some fast food places!

1 month post op

Well it's officially been 1 month since I had gastric sleeve surgery! I feel pretty good! I finally had my post op appointment today. I was supposed to have it 2 weeks after but Dr. Eslami was in Vacation. So it was scheduled for the 3rd week but I was suffering from dehbitating constipation. So it finally was today! 

Fully dressed with shoes on I weighed 226 on his scale. This would mean 18 lbs since surgery day of May 7th and 8 lbs from pre op diet, totaling 27 lbs. (my weight has been fluctuating during this stall period) plus I am PMSing and retaining water right now. 

He was extremely happy with my results though. He looked at his little iPad and his eyes got big and his head cocked back. He was all, "wow awesome!" So if he's happy I am happy. He told me to start working out and I told him I walked daily. He said to join a gym. I will not be joining a gym because I don't want to pay for it. So he suggested lap swimming. I'm down with that! 

My incisions have healed nicely and I'm almost ready to go back to work. I am just taking my time. 

So her it is, 4 weeks and 26 lbs gone!! Dr says he wants to see me in 3 months another 30 lbs lighter. Bring it!!!
