Three Month Update

Oct 07, 2013

Went to my three month checkup with my surgeon and he thinks I'm doing great!  I'm happy because my scale at home wasn't moving!  Seems like I've been at 240 for ever!  I got a pleasant surprise at the doctor's office...down to 233!!!  YAY!  And I just weighed myself at home this morning pre-shower naked as a jay bird and it read 239!  So I guess when I'm frustrated that with my scale number, I can just remove six pounds and feel better about the "numbers".  My clothes are all loose and I've been able to fit in clothes I have worn for a few years!!!  You would think that's all I need but I can't help it, those damned numbers on that scale are stuck in my mind to mean a lot!!!!  Post surgery, I've lost 42 pounds.  Count the ten I lost during the pre-surgical diet and I'm down 52 pounds!  52 sounds better!  I still feel frustrated with the liquid aspect.  Plain water just doesn't quench my thirst all the time and is quite frankly BORING!  Yes, I've tried several water enhancers but they either have an after taste or I simply don't care for them.  I'm drinking quite a bit of fat-free milk...good protein and good for my calcium.  I've gone from a 44.5 BMI to a 36.5 BMI!  I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere!  And it feels good!!!!
