24 weeks post op

[Jessiegirl30 149]

I am sick today , it's a head cold etc I am going to see my GP about it this afternoon, so I thought while I have the time I will write an update and let anyone who cares know how things are going for me at this point.

Since surgery I have lost 49 pounds and in total since I started my weight loss journey (June 2013) I have lost 113 pounds, the thing that I have learnt is that I didn't put all the extra weight on in a few weeks so why do we all think we can loose it in a few weeks???

I hear people say that constantly ohh I worked really hard this week but I didn't loose any weight ... Well duh it's because it took 15 years for you to gain that extra 100pounds or whatever it doesn't just fall off because you have 3 good weeks of work ... I know this now and I think we would all be better off if we all knew it and accepted it.

Anyway... People seem to be noticing how much weight I have lost at work and stuff I am getting some really nice feedback and genuine interest in my success which is very nice

The last week or so I have noticed that I am being able to slowly eat a little bit more, which is great it's very frustrating only being able to have 1 bite of food then being full, though I am fully aware this is part of the process , still if I have anything that is to high in sugar like chocolate I tend to crash and feel quite sick until it passes ( usually about 30-40mins) so I am trying to avoid to much sugar, also refined carbohydrates like potato chips!! Dear lord they were my weakness before surgery and I find I can eat quite a lot of the now with out even realising it so I am really trying to make sure I make better choices ... Like fruit and yoghurts etc etc

My exersice I have slowly been increasing I am at 4 times a week for 30 mins and I am happy with that for now , I am going to try and increase the time slowly ... I still hate it to be completely honest I hate exersicing I enjoy the way it makes me feel afterm I finish and I enjoy the results on the scale and on my health but oh Lordy dear I hate doing it !

Hmm anyway that's about it from me I feel blah so I'm going to go rest before I go to the doctor
