6.5 weeks out!!!!!!
Apr 29, 2010
Well I am 6.5 weeks out and still consider myself truly blessed. I am feeling much better and feel truly new and rejuvenated. I have had some ups and downs with trying to figure out the new me, such as what I can and can not tolerate and convincing myself not to second guess me!!! As of 4/21/10 I have gone from 465lbs to 387lbs which is a 32lb weight loss for the month since my surgery and 78lb weight loss in total for the diet I put myself on prior to the surgery. Sometimes I find myself telling myself you should have lost more weight than this by now, but now I have a new response for myself "NO I SHOULD NOT HAVE, I HAVE LOST EXACTLY WHAT GOD HAS DETERMINED MY BODY WAS ABLE TO TOLERATE!!!" I have decided to be happy with me at all cost after all GOD has created me in his own image and he is flawless and perfect and therefore anything he creates he creates to perfection, hence ME!!! I feel that I have so much more energy and confidence now and am so proud of the road I have traveled and how far I have come. The only major problem that I have had is with getting my protein and fluid intake in. So I have dedicated this week to me working on me bettering me.I have decided to consider this whole process trial and error, I have to go through some trials to weed out all the errors. I no longer try to tell myself that I am failing at this process I now tell myself that I am traveling on the road to victory and I will be victorious. I have had quite a few milestones and WOW moments during this process and am delighted to share them with you:
1) I was able to comfortably cross my legs!!
2) I was able to sit in a chair with arms without feeling restricted!!
3) I was able to take a long walk with my husband without feeling winded!!
4) My sleep apnea no longer has control of me I actually now have control of it!!
5) Life is great and i feel all my wishes are so attainable now!!
