hello my wonderful friends that I don't visit enough...
here i sit 10 weeks out... and stuck. totally completely utterly STUCK...
weight loss is NOT happening.
on 9/22 I weighed 253 on my scale (that was the morning of surgery)
on 11/1 I weighed 229 (ok not a bad loss (24 pounds) for 5 weeks.
BUT
just ONE month later I weighed at my lowest 221.6 which is not even eight pounds in one month and this morning I was 3 pounds up from that....
IF i wanted to lose 5 pounds a month I could have done it without surgery...
without pain without all these damn hormones that are raging around in my body.
i was bleeding again this week so I've spotted twice this month after 5 1/2 years of NO PERIODS
my bowels are horrid... I swear two colace a day and six fiber pills and I'm NOT going with any comfort at all... I go so I know that's working but it's a chore and it's not comfortable... (I know TMI but i'm ranting and raving here)
I'm getting all my vits, all my supplements (I admit to being scarce on the calcium but i have new ones arriving this week that should help) I'm getting at least 64 fluid oz a day and around 70-90 g of protein per day
my full meter has returned (meaning I sneeze violently 15-20 times after I eat)
I"m in the gym 3 times a week with cardio, yoga and weights... (2 of each on any given day so I get cardio each time)....
Am I sorry I did it? NO.
why not? because at least I can die fat knowing that I did EVERYTHING I possibly could to try to fix this mess.
yesterday i went for a massage. I have a huge knot in my back that hurts so badly (and yet I keep going to the gym) and the massage made it worse. and i can't take aleve...
would I do it again? yep because the option is that i'd be fatter than I am now and also that I would always have wondered if it would have helped me.
at least my husband is doing well....
