1 month and 6 days post op-33lbs down

May 14, 2011

So it has been 1 month and 6 days since surgery. My recovery was a breeze. I can say I heeled very well. That was my main concern but thank God, everything went well.

I was on liquids for a whole month and it really did not affect me that much. I was scared to actually start eating regular foods but I am now getting over that fear. I have been sticking to my diet religiously. Have a shake one a day with two meals. I am just too full to have three meals.

I have been also counting my calories and I am always about 100 calories less. I am eating enough protein, very low minimum carbs and fats. I take all my supplements religiously and on top of it, work out like crazy.

I have participated a 6k, a 9k and tomorrow I will be running another 6k. in between that, have been running at least a 5k three times a week and also  step aerobics three times a week. I then walk on the incline on the treadmill for an hour days I do not run or step. 

Physically, I am getting there. Even though I have only lost 33 lbs as of today, I am in better shape.  My BMI went from 37 to 29.6 so I am just overweight right now. I know my weight will not drop and fast as I want it to but eventually, it will. My goal is to reach goal in 6 months. That means I have 42lbs to do. I hope to lose another 8lbs by my second month anniversary.  I will soon post my one-month pics.

 I love my sleeve
