3 month post op
It's been a slow process, but it is happening. I was so afraid that I was not losing fast enough like everyone else or that I was eating too much or too little; but in these last three months I have been in a brand new relationship with myself. I probably have never done this in my life. I have been taking care of me. I have been trying to keep up with my protein intake and keeping down my calories with no problem until these last two weeks. I can't take muscle milk anymore. I get nauseated thinking about it. I tried protein powder and putting it in the blender and the same thing happens. I get full so fast when I eat my meals so I am working on getting the most protein in with them as possible. I exercise 6 days a week and I love. I do zumba three times a week, swimming three times a week and 30 minutes of bike or elliptical 6 days a week. I was upset at first because I felt I should be losing more and faster but I rather the pace I am going now. My lupus and the medications do slow the weight loss somewhat but its okay, because it is happening.
For the first time in my life I feel content, satisfied and happy in the direction is going.
