Wish Us Luck (long)
Ok so a little lesson about myself
I am 2 years out and have lost about 180 pounds. About a year ago My husband and I decided thta this summer we would start trying for a child. Been married for 4 years and we are ready. So I said back then I wanted to loose 75 more pounds. I thought how hard could it be? I have lost this much in over a year. Even if I lost 45 -50 I would be happy and hopefully be a good start to a healthy pregnancy weight. Soooooo Now I have not moved on the scale at all and were currently trying to have a baby.
My issue is I didnt stick to my word. My weight hasnt moved. Luckily it hasnt rocketed up. I fluctuate 5-7 pounds. Of course I could be excercising more. I work out 2x a week with a personal trainer (which for about a month I have to stop due to some finacial things going on which is going to KILL me) But I am going to walk everynight and weekends are full of things to do so I am very active then. I know there are things I can do at home I just have to put use to them. I think i may get a excercise ball and some weights. We do those with the trainer and there my favorite things.
So Heather and I decided to do the 5 day pouch test. Were starting this tommorow. It is basically going back to basics. Day 1 and 2 are Liquid protein as much and as often as you like. Day 3 is soft protein(eggs,canned fish and soft fish) Day 4 Firm protein (turkey, beef,lobster) and Day 5,6,7,23,56,365 (the rest of your life) is Firm protein (white meat poultry, beef steak, pork, lamb)
I let alot of foods in that shouldnt. mainly CARBS, CARBS, and more CARBS. This test is to help you not snack on slider foods which is what I saw myself doing. and the big thing drinking. I never waited 30 before and after. So I think that is a big thing for me
Who ever said this surgery is easy................does not know anything. I would love for them to take a walk in my head :)
I am very proud of what I have accomplished although sometimes I still feel like the fat girl and wonder why everyone around me is smaller then me. But then I realize you cant compare yourself to others and also The morning of my surgery I started at 446 pounds and if I would of started in the 3's I would probably be where they are now. I think that for a minute and it's over. and when I look at my picture the morning of (which is on my profile pics for those of you who would like to see) and I think I am proud where I am now but for the health of my self and trying to get pregnant I want to drop more.
I read others who have done this and they did see some weight loss right away but the site says it is supposed to re work your tool and get back that tightness you had right after surgery.
Thank you for taking time to read this and I will post after the 5 days and let you all know how it went.
