lvidacovich 372 Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) I have my 1 month follow up today - but it's closer to 6 weeks due to holidays and my doc being busy at the end of the year. I get to meet with the surgeon and my nutritionist. Still dealing with insurance and the billing department at the hospital. It's gonna be a chore I think and I know I'm gonna wind up paying a bunch. So far I'm down 48 since surgery on 10/22. 279 this morning. Hope to be 277 by the end of the week so I can call if 50 total. Somehow I lost 6 pounds between 11/27 and 12/1 and I have no idea what I did to make that work! But for now I'm back to the lose a pound - wait two days at the exact same weight - then lose another pound. It's MUCH slower than I thought it would be at this point, I'm still so close to my surgery! As long as I'm under 250 by April for my Hawaii trip I'll be happy. Joined a local gym today as well - working with a friend who is a personal trainer to get a workout plan. Going to lift 3 days a week and continue barre 2 days a week. Might give up on walking for a bit, at least during the winter. Edited December 5, 2019 by lvidacovich 1 1 FluffyChix and AZhiker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lvidacovich 372 Posted December 6, 2019 So they seemed pretty happy with my progress. Told me to stick to 700 cals a day, 70-80 grams Protein and under 40 grams carbs. We will re-evaluate all that at my 3 month appt on Jan 22. They didn't seem too concerned that I can do 4 oz in a sitting without really needing to slow down. Some people seem to be able to do that at 6 weeks and some never get there so 🤷♂️ They said weightlifting will help me lose more weight vs cardio so I'm going to stick with that.

lvidacovich 372 Posted December 6, 2019 I forgot to mention - BP was 122/88 and I haven't been on meds for that for 2 months now. Lost 2.5 inches in my neck, 5 inches around my belly and 4.5 inches at my waist! 2 FluffyChix and Metamorphosing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
