Happy Wednesday
Hi All! How is everyone doing? I'm doing good. I weighed in this am at 138 lbs. And yes, I'm happy! I set a goal weight of 125 lbs. But, I have decided after last week (remember I didn't loose any) should I not loose any more that it's ok. I'll be happy right where I am. After all, I've lost 110 lbs! OMG 110 lbs. gone forever! I just can't believe it. I have convinced myself that yes, I'm at a healthy weight and I need not to worry about getting to my goal, but keeping the weight off! I am sooo afraid that I'll gain and that would devastate me! Dr. Hill told me at my last visit that I had last 100% of my excess body weight (I weighed 141 then). The average weight lose is about 80%, so I've done pretty darn good.
I'm headed out of town tomorrow to a convention that I attend every year and the ladies there will not recognize me. It'll be so much fun seeing everyone's reaction when they realize it's me.
I do have a questions that hopefully someone can answer. How many calories should I be eating at 8 months post-op? There are days that I know I eat more than others. Then there are days that I could care if I eat at all! Is this normal? Also, I have soooo much energy! I just can't believe it! I just can't sit still! After work yesterday I got all my Halloween decorations out and decorated. Then I cleaned and did laundry. I never ate until 9:30. After eating I finished my cleaning. I finally went to bed this morning at 1:30! It's like this almost every night. I find something to do around the house and when I finally sit it's usually around 11pm. I used to sit in front of the TV and eat! Is anyone else experiencing this? Will it pass? One last thing I'm cold all the time. How about any of you?
I hope everyone is having a good week thus far and have a great weekend!
Best of luck to all of you in your continued WLS jouney!
