3 Months

Sep 19, 2011

Although I am a little over 1 week past 3 months,  I had my 3 month appointment yesterday.

I met with the nurse practitioner.  All seems well.  I am down 74 lbs (including 30 from 6 weeks of Optifast).  I am really hoping to get to 100 lbs. by my 6 month appointment.  It will be hard and will have to make sure I keep my activity up.
I was told I am now allowed to eat raw fruits and veggies if I had not started.  I have eaten a few raw fruits and veggies but not many,  I have had raw apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, melon, green peppers.  I really need to work more fruits and veggies in my diet.  Before surgery I ate them all the time.  Now,  there is just no room.

Other changes since surgery: 

My trigger food (peanut butter) really is not that appealing any more.  I hope it stays that way. 
I have no interest in soda.  I fear it will irritate my pouch. 
I am learning quickly to stop when full.  Not one more bite.  It just isn't worth the stuffed feeling if I don't.
I have gone down 2 - 3 pants sizes depending on the brand.
I am much more interested in how I look and even dress to show off the weight loss.
