11 Month Surgiversary!!!

Jun 23, 2011

Wow, this month the 22nd slipped right by me. Not much to report, everything is still going the same...

Weight is still holding steady between 142-145, this is over three months at this now. I guess this is where my body wants to be. I think I will lose a little more over time, but I cannot complain at all about a size 4, sm/xsm tops at all. I know I am building muscle, but could eat a little better.

Food, did not throw up one time this month. Those who have, know that is a good thing. I have been battling head hunger and grazing, and i know the trigger. I am bored, hoping to have a job soon, but boredome is my enemy for sure. Aside from that, I eat whatever I want, but put the brakes on things that are not real filling for me. I AM able to push away though, that is the good thing. I did try wine, and a tropical beverage, and I will say I stopped at tried. I have never been one that likes the taste of alcohol, but it holds zero appeal for me now. I really can't stand anything other than plain water or black coffee. It has gotten to the point that I have all snacks in the house portioned since I can hold more now. For lunch I have a Smart One. I cannot eat all of it, but most of it, and I cannot add anything to it. Never thought I would say that one single Smart One was all I could handle. So food is going pretty good.

Exercise, still going very strong there. P90X six days a week. Will try to start with a little running soon too. I have great tone, but still a little layer of fat I would like to see gone. I feel good physically and mentally when I workout, but I also do not feel guilty about the occasional splurge either. So exercise is good too.

I take all of my vitamins pretty religiously still, but did start throwing the iron down the hatch with the calcium.  YEP, they are not lying to you, the iron level dropped. So back to trying to remember them at seperate times. I have my 1 yr post-op with the surgeon July 15th.

Mentally, doing great. We wall have days where the fat eyes take control, but the support group here really helps with that. I was ready for the journery right up until transitioning into a goal weight. That is where I had trouble, I only know how to diet, not be at goal. But group helped with that, and I am doing better with that. Still would like to lose a little to be at my personal goal, but to my doctor I hit it months ago.

So that is where I stand, be back on the 1 yr Surgiversary!!!
