Yep. My body decided that is was not going to cooperate and lose another 10 pounds by my 4 month appointment yesterday. My weight loss hasn't stalled statistically, but it is slow. And I am a revision, so that's that. But I continue to drop inches, I just wish the scale would move again, it's been a month. We did vacation. I ate too many carbs, but got right back at it when we got home and ate even cleaner this week....nothing.
I've lost 44 pounds since my highest weight 306. Surgery was 2/29/16. I'm now 262. I really wanted to be at 256 at my weigh in. She was "concerned" about my weight loss, but when she averaged it every month, I'm losing 5.5 pounds every month.
I had blood work done yesterday so we can check my vitamin levels. Dr. Boyce's office is very thorough with the testing, which I am glad.
Dietician recommended 30 grams fat daily. *sigh* I didn't argue with her. But, we all know that's ridiculous. I'm not a crazy high fat person, but when you eat avocados, cook with coconut oil, put HWC in your coffee, etc. ...well, that 30 grams goes by fast!!!!
I feel great, my energy returned at 3 months. It was like BAM!!! The shot in my foot could have something to do with that. having no pain there makes my upper body/joints feel better and that has been great. I exercise 5x a week, 2-3 times with a trainer and walk the rest. I keep dropping sizes, I just ordered some shirts and they are all too big. Returning and ordering an 18/20. I'm more bottom heavy, so I am a 20/22 on bottom. I was a 24/26 on top and bottom, mainly tight 24. All my original workout tshirts are TOO big.
So I am enjoying a friends birthday celebration tonight and back to meal prep and stuffing my face with protein. I do struggle with eating enough. this week i really upped my protein and good fats, low carb, so one day my body will cooperate and the scale will drop again.
That's about all I've got. I keep telling myself I am in charge of this process and I am not depending on the surgery alone. I have to do my work and it WILL pay off.
