One Month Pics.....down 30 lbs...YAY
This time last month, I was waiting for the good Dr to come and get me for my VSG surgery.
Happy Juice was injected into my IV.....and off I went (so they tell me, I don't recall...lol)
Well.........since that jolt of happy juice, I have been pretty much happy since!
I am down 30 lbs in one month...............I have lost 17.25 inches in one month.
I have gotten rid of 2 sizes of clothes....out the door.....won't need ya.....cya later.....not gonna be that big again!
Last night my daughter and I went shopping in my closet.....brought out some dresses and jeans that I have not worn in years but saved "in case"
Well "in case" is here............and for only a short time. I am shooting for 10 lb loss for the month of May.
I am getting in all my vitamins, my protein, and all my fluids. So I will step it up some to make sure things keep going down.
I keep my carbs as close to 20 as I can and never go over 30. I am keeping my fats low as well, and still am getting in 600-825 cals/day.
I am allowed to eat whatever I want.....so no more post-op eating plan for me. I am still supplementing with one protein bullet, or one Atkins Advantage Shake and Whey protein fruit splash drink a day. To ensure I get all protein that I should in.
I can now eat a whole scrambled egg for breakfast. YAY I then eat protein for lunch and again for supper. Not much room for anything else at this stage.
I ordered some Celebrate Vitamins, so I can cut down on my pills, and still get what I need.
I am on that GD treadmill.....3-4 times a week, and walk at least 2 other days. My daughter and I are looking at some Zumba classes....that should be fun.....or death defying. (get back to you on that one) lol
I have not been sick once, had pain once or have had any other problems. I followed the rules to a T..........and it all worked out for me.
I was positive going into surgery and positive after. I believe that attitude has carried me well thus far.
Tonight my partner and kids are taking me out for a nice dinner, and I am having fish. I checked online for the menu, and I am going to go and sit, and be social and enjoy my family in a nice setting and be thankful that I am going to be around many more years to do that. Because I am going to be healthy, happy and because of this tool, armed with proper eating mechanisms. I will just take the rest home and eat it for the next few days.
I don't want to not be able to enjoy social gatherings that surround food. That is why I chose the sleeve, so I would have something in place to stop me from over eating and force me to make good choices.
I have included a new avatar..........my face -30 lbs....taken with my web cam.
I will get some one month pictures taken later tonight and post them later to my profile...for comparison.
Thank you to the Dr Alvarez team.
Thank you to all of you who have helped me get a really good start at this. And thanks in advance for making sure I stick to it....to all of you!
