Down slow losing............
I am a little down, I have lost 5lb. since surgery on the 9th of Jan. And feel I should have lost more, I know my age will make the weight loss some what slower than younger people, and I am walking.
I missed Saturday because of the snow, we had about 1in. and there was ice under it. And I have steps to go up and down to get out side.
I have no desire for food at all, and force my self to get the protein drink, and I learned that you must sip or dump. Very good lesson. It is like my body is into the starvation mode and trying to hang onto the fat.
I am taking in 50g of protein a day and may be I should up it, but that is really hard, and I am trying to get my water in too.
Heather has really done great and I am so happy to hear she has alreay lost 10lbs, we had our surgery on the same date.
I just don't want to fail at this, it was my last chance to really get healthy, and stop all of the meds I have taken for years. My blood sugars are a lot lower than they have been in years, almost to the normal level, but need to get it 30 points lower to be normal. My bp is still a little high but I was off that med for a few days after surgery.
I just don't want to give up at so early a date, I go for the 2 week post op on the 23rd, other wise I am doing good, still have gas and loose bowels, I am hoping both will soon be a thing of the past, can't really go to far from the bath rooom.
Well, I have been crying on your shoulders, and I guess I needed to get it off mine. I know I have just begun and things will get better and easier as I learn the new meals I will be able to have and as I lose the things I will be able to do with out aid. My back is not hurting as badly as before surgery, and this limits my walking, and as I loose more I am sure that the back pain will lessen even more, and Lord will even go away.
Just keep me in your Prayers and thanks for listening to me.
Hugs,
Lynda
Lynda you really cannot estimate how well you are doing so soon after surgery. This first month is always the hardest on folks. It sounds like you are actually doing better then I was at 2 weeks out - at that point I was feeling pretty miserable with nausea and unable to get in even half as much protein as I was supposed too. Just take it easy, get in what you can and put things on 'cruise control' for a few weeks. I would also suggest not weighing yourself for a week but I know that is something I wouldn't be able to do (lol). ((Hugs)) to you and I hope you are feeling more positive soon hun.
