four months out

Feb 19, 2011

Starting Weight: 311
Surgery Day: 297
Current Weight: 225

This is an amazing journey. I now understand what folks were saying when they say that they feel the same weight even though the number on the scale is significantly less. I mean just one year ago I was 81 lbs heavier and then paralell that with just four months ago, I was 72 lbs heavier...that's quick and it's not quick for your mind to catch up. So it's an adjustment.

I am trying to maintain this schedule and it's not that hard. The hard thing for me is to get all of my protein in because I am supposed to get in 115 grams per day. That is a lot but I have begun to loose some hair because I haven't been able to do that consistenly. Some days, I just don't feel like eating or drinking protein shakes. But now seeing the hair loss, you better believe that I am forcing the issue :)

still getting a lot of support from family and friends.

two accomplishments: no seatbelt extender on my most recent flight and got a normal towel all around me and still had room ,...YEAH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
