ONE MONTH SURGIVERSARY!

[RoxFC 175]

I can't believe that it has been a month since surgery. After the first two days of post-op hell due to nausea from anesthesia and pain medicine, I would have never believed that I would feel as great as I do right now! As each day passes, I understand my sleeve more and more. I learn something new every day about how to make this a successful journey. I have lost a total of 32 lbs...24 post-op and 8 from the pre-surgery diet (I only did a week of it..barely). But, when I logged back into myfitnesspal after months of not using it, I realize that my weight back in November was 276...So, I guess with the pre-op diet and surgeryI have actually lost a total of 36 lbs! I was in a stall for over a week...as my surgiversary present to myself, when I got on the scale this morning, I lost 1 lb since yesterday! Hopefully, this means that I will start losing weight again. I feel good...I'm now eating about 4oz/meal and I can see the difference in my body from the weight loss.

I think that my greatest tool right now is myfitnesspal. I started using it again a few days ago and it really helped get a clear picture of what I'm doing with this sleeve. It keeps me accountable for my choices. I saw that I was getting a little high on the carb count and have decided to tweak what I'm eating...not deprive myself at all..just make better choices. I'm excited for things to come! I hope everyone is doing well and thank you for all the support and wealth information that is offered through this forum! I will post some pictures at the end of this month...
