10 Months Post Op
Well BAF Family, It's been a while. I can truly say that this has been one heck of a journey. There have been good times and bad times. I am 10 months out and 80 lbs down. I want to say only. But I wont.
I have not lost any weight in about 6 weeks. Fluctuating 3-5 pounds here and there. I have lost inches though. But I want to lose weight. I have found that I can eat almost anything. But Asian food do me really bad. I have found out what dumping is......... Thanks to General Tso chicken, chicken and dumplings and dense noodles and dense bread. Not a good feeling at all. It dont happen often, but it does not take long for me to know I have messed up. Other than that things have been going pretty good.
This is the last week of test at school........
At the age of 43 I went back to get my college degree and 2.5 years later I am graduating in 2 weeks with my 2 year degree.......... Yeah Babeeeeeeee AND with a Full Academic Scholarship to the Jackson State University here in Mississippi. ( This school was my choice). Sonic Boom of the South Babeeeee!
This semester has really kicked my butt. Trying to maintain that 4.0 has pushed me to my limits. Probaly will graduate with a 3.98. I'll take that. Needed only a 3.5 to get the scholarship but I'll take that. YAY ME!!! Whew, Been a long time coming.
I put all of my focus into the books/schooling and neglected some things like: Gym, exercise, Moving my butt. All on the back burner. And this may be the reason for such a long stall. Plus I might not eat much, But I dont eat right either. I'm sorry.
Soooooooooooo, Who wants to help me get back on track???? Get all up in my face............. I need motivation!! Got friends and people in my corner, but they seriously think weight is just gonna come off just by breathing. These people really think weight loss surgery means breathing is burning pounds.............literally!!
BUT....
I am determined that I will get to my goal of 100 lbs by June 27th 2012. That is 100 lbs loss in 1 year Post-Op! I just have to get back on track! So if you KNOW what I need to do, come with it!!! 2 Months 20 lbs..............Let's Get It!! Love Yall
P.S. Thanks Lee for getting in my face......... But you gotta stay there and be tough........ just kidding Lee, just kidding!!

You have done well. Now you have hit the "Tweens" as I like to call the period where you are not a newbie but still have a way to go. You can eat almost everything ten months out. That does not mean you should. The same applies to me at three years out.
We are not like other people. We are on a diet for life. I reject the lifestyle change euphemism. To reach goal and stay there forever you have to be as committed now as you were the morning of surgery.
You already know what you are doing wrong. You are at the period where true stalls happen as the body adjusts to change. Yet, you are filling yourself with carbs. Generals chicken is full of sugar and the sides are starchy foods. You know better and can do better. It is your choice.
Focus on high quality protein and use non starchy produce as your main carb source. Get plenty of dietary fiber. The longer you avoid letting sugar and starch back into your life the better off you are. Attain your goals first. Then allow those foods back in small controlled quantities.
You done so far good. Are you willing to keep it going?

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
You know I depend on you and Lee. If yall leave I'll (We'll) be lost. I am going to do the 5 day pouch test to jump start this pouch again. I actually like the Jay Robb protein mix. So that helps.
I know I need to get off the couch and move my butt. And I guess buying a lap top so I can do my homework on the couch was not a good idea either huh!
But I am willing to keep it going. For myself if no one else. My boys (all grown) are proud of me in more ways than one. But they would have been alright with me at 270. This is the new me. And I like her. So you stay right here cause even though I dont always say anything I'm lurking. And taking you alls advice...... Thanks a lot
