Renewed Determination!

Hello all... So I had another appointment with my doctor today. I'll be 4 months post-op as of this week. I have been feeling pretty discouraged but I decided today that I'm not going to concentrate on what I haven't lost so far but what I can lose. I received another fill so I actually have 8cc's in my 14cc band at this point. I wasn't expecting them to put a full cc in but we'll see how it goes. I talked to the doctor about doing a 2 week liquid diet to jump start my weightloss and get all the crap and cravings out of my system and they said that's fine as long as I make sure to get enough protein so I'll start that today since I need to have liquids after my fill anyway. Not really concerned about Thanksgiving since I'm a picky eater.

 

My promise to myself is to NOT step on the scale, not even one in the next 30 days I'm going to give it to my mom to hold hostage so I won't be tempted. Then I'm going to take my measurements tomorrow morning and not again for 30 days. And I'm looking around for another class or bootcamp to take. Even though I go to the gym all the time I really feel the bootcamp makes me work harder and I see better results.

 

So, that's enought rambling for now :) Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Holiday!

i don't weight every day because when i first had surgery i did and i got discouraged quickly.. stay focused on the prize and you will do find.. you are going to have days where you want to eat anything and everything in site.. just focus on protein..

I'm 6 months post op. Yes, this is a learning process for sure. I am now focusing on protein. Fish for dinner everyday. High in protein. Any ideas I am game. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you everyone! definitely small steps and I think maybe once I stop looking at the scale I'll pay more attention to how I feel and not the numbers. My restriction before this last fill wasn't really there at all. I definitely notice restriction now but not too much. I'm hoping this last fill has brought me to my green zone :) I also think doing the 2 weeks on liquids will jump start me again.
