9 months post-op

Oct 25, 2011

I went through a small adjustment period after my husband deployed. I found that I would want to snack because I am BORED, close to bedtime. Thankfully I recognized this pattern after three days and nipped it in the bud. Now I keep a water bottle by my side at all times and if I feel the urge to snack, I drink water. Went back to the basics. I've been at a stall for the last 2 weeks. So close to goal, yet so far away. I am currently at 153. To be at NORMAL BMI, I need to be at 145. My surgeon orginally set my goal as 130. The closer I get, the more I push myself in the gym.
For a few weeks I stopped journalling on a regular basis and found that the carbs were creeping up on me without my knowledge. NOTE: I still do not eat bread, pasta, rice, starches, etc. (white or brown). I do eat ancient grains if I eat any at all. So all of my carbs come from fruits, veggies, fish, poultry, nuts, and dairy. I've gone back to pre-planning my meals and food journalling faithfully so I can get to where I need to be. I do still make sure I burn as many calories as I take in daily. Trying to get back on track.
