9 month Bandiversary, down 62.6 lbs

[Rebecca Cain Salpacka 100]

So this month was a slow month in the weight loss market lol.

Im posting this 2 days early (surgery was on april 26) but since i weighed in today, i wanted to make sure i dindt forget to post my update.

I had some issues with swollen legs due to my Water intake being a little low and my Protein being at about half. the protein has been tough since my last band fill on 12/17..the first two wks after it were the worst..but im doing much better now, getting my protein and water, and legs are back to normal. This month only brought me down about 3 lbs...a 3rd of what last months loss was, but thats ok...its a loss and im ecstatic about it.

Last March 1st i set a goal of 75 lbs for this March 1 (before even knowing when my surgery date would be lol) ...im down total of 75. 6 as of this morning...so even more ecstatic that I hit that mark 5 weeks early.

If anyone else is having issues with swollen legs and u know your sodium intake isnt high or your water is at a good level..look at your protein. I never knew protein effect that...by my bariatrician pointed it out to me and after i was getting more protein in..it was like night and day...hopefully it helps someone else out there.

Keep on moving and keep on losing!

Congrats! Upping your calories by adding Protein to your food plan helps to move the scale, too. Don't add a lot, just a lean high protein snack like a ff Greek yogurt can be a metabolism boost. Congrats on your progress!
