Last week: 255

This week: 257

Great article on this website today. I think I have to admit I am an emotional eater. While this might be obvious to others, I have always denied it. I always said I only eat because I am always hungry. Well, that is not true any more. I find myself wanting to eat even when I am not hungry. Sometimes I eat, and sometimes I don't. I hate that this is a battle. Seems you should not have to battle your own self to get healthy. Seems your body and mind should be on your side, not fighting against a healthier you.

Anyway, back up to 257. It has been like this for the last couple of months, bouncing between 254 and 259.

Oddly, I am not beating myself up about it right now. I am not sure if that is a good thing, or if I am just accepting that this is my final weight. I don't think it is, but I can't be sure.

Anyway, I did update my starting weight on my ticker. I had put my surgery date weight in there as my starting weight before. But I think I was cheating myself of the weight loss in the month prior to the surgery! Is it silly? Yeah, maybe, but it did make me feel better looking at the bigger weight loss number. Now I just gotta make that number move in the right direction.

Last week - 183.0
This week - 180.8

Two pounds! I'll take it! Still got some work to do but good today.

Heading to brother's for Mom's day lunch. Man can cook! Eats too much and needs WLS but can cook.

This is National Police Week when we remember the ones who did not get to go home at the end of their shifts and their loved ones got the most dreaded of knocks at the door. Not able to go to festivities in DC but can put the mourning band on all week and remember friends who have died. Really hits home this year since it was ten years ago that two friends were killed and a third severely injured in a single incident. Actor is waiting on date with the needle. His attorney claims he is mentally incompetent, IQ less than 70, and did not know what he was doing and can't be executed. Bull****!!

Go do your thing!

Not really a great week. More bad days than good, and didn't move as much as I needed. The results aren't shocking.

We have some of our kids and grandkids over for mothers day so there's not much to say. Looking forward to a great meal that's terrible for me. After that, the nose goes back to the grindstone.

Have a great week.

k. I would go ahead and talk to another lap WLS surgeon, if possible, or at least a lap gastroenterologist that is familiar with WLS and ask if it is possible your surgeon might have damaged a nerve or blood vessel during the procedure that is causing the issue.

High weight (June 2011): 328

Pre surgery weight (2/1/17): 283

Last week: 221.9

This week: 222.4

Not happy with this number! This is my first Sunday-Sunday that I've gone up since my surgery on Feb. 1. I was pretty good this week too with diet, exercise, vitamins, and water. Just in a stall I guess, or maybe a weird scale reading on Sunday, because this morning the scale said 219. We'll see what next Sunday brings.

Have a great week!
