Well today is my 10 month surgiversary. 10 months ago today I woke up from surgery and started a new life. Although I am still not near my goal I am helthier. I am no lomger diebetic, don't take cholesterol meds, don't take blood pressure meds and in general just much better. Yesterday I found a photo of myself taken at my sons birthday about 9 years ago. I was HUGE, I did not realize how big I was, or how far I have come until I saw that photo. I for sure am much smaller than I was. This surgery does not cure you though. I still have fibro myalgia and that has not improved. I wish I was able to do more eercising, if I had I am sure I would be at goal weight by now. But, this is my reality I have FM and I hurt and exercise is not much of an option. I want to do more and I really want to succeed. I have not been perfect in dieting but I have made the commitment that fro noe until i go for my 1 year check up I will be good. I will severally limit carbs, I will stay away from sugars and I will get my protein in and stay under 1000 calories. Yesterday was a great day for me actually diet wise. I only consumed 900 calories and got 101 grams of protein. It was my best day so far since surgery. I just need to remember to have a protein shake everyday to get my requirements in. So her are my stats for today.
starting weight : 347
current weight : 218.4
weight loss : 129
chart weight : 175
goal weight : 180
pounds to goal : 38.4
I can do this. I will do this. I will succeed.
