FINALLY! I think. I hope...
Well 3 or 4 days ago, I weighed, in despair. I knew it was going to say around 260. It did.
BUT TODAY! It says 256! Could it be?! I hope this is the start of my weight loss. I am hoping it doesn't go back up. It's been fluctuating between 258 and 261 (most of the time saying 260) since the day I came home from the hospital! June 22nd. In two days which is Monday, I will be 4 weeks out.
I'ts about time!!!!
I really, hope this is the start. I have been trying to be patient. But lately, the past few days, I sort of unconsciously accepted the fact that I'm different and RNY may not work for me. I mean, I guess, bc I told myself different, but when I saw that it was finally lower than it's been in almost a month, I couldn't believe it. I moved the scale and weighed in different spots on my floor SIX times! LOL So I guess I was a little skeptical... lol.
I really hope it doesn't go back up. I have been doing well with my protein and better with fluids.. so I just would like these results to continue.

Yes, I have been. My B12 injection was disappointing, as I thought I'd feel better after that. But I'm still exhausted. But I know I'll feel better down the road. Just takes a little longer for me I guess. :)

So happy for you! I know how frustrating it is. My first month I lost the first week, then didn't lose again for 3 1/2 weeks... I was sure it wasn't going to work! My doc kept saying he wasn't worried...

The first month or so was hard for me too. I was exhausted and I barely lost any weight at all. It gets better, I promise. Make sure you are drinking as much as you possibly can and getting in as much protein as you can. Once I started taking little walks each day it really seemed to help boost my energy levels. Good luck!

It sounds crazy....but I started playing this past week just to force myself to move. I have to walk to incubate and hatch those stupid eggs lol. I feel like a nut walking to find a fictional character but oh well. At least I'm having fun getting my exercise in.
