Bariatric Buddy
Wednesday Check in
Good afternoon to all. I hope you are all having a great day.
I went to see the doctor that performed the surgery last week. With the exception of the dizziness, all is well. I'm healing nicely and won't require an additional round of antibiotics. I was also cleared to go back to the gym so that is definitely on the agenda for tomorrow as the gym I belong too is not co-ed, it alternates.
I dropped another pound which I'm very grateful for. It appears that I truly have come out of the stall I was in and now that I can work out again, I hope to keep that going.
I have been diligently keeping track of my food on the Spark site and realized something today. The nutritionist told me I should be eating about 1200 calories a day. After looking things over, I realized that if I am eating healthy and making good choices, there is no way I can eat that much in a day. It's only when I start indulging in sugar-free cookies, etc. that my calorie count goes up. I have still been sticking within my range but could be doing a lot better than I am. I know that's a no-brainer for a lot of people but this is my compulsive over-eating working.
Anyway, that's my day so far.

Good for you, cleared for exercise. Take care as you head to the gym tomorrow. Stop the compulsive eating in its tracks. Easier said than done. Just do your best. Hugs, Kathy
