HI everyone,
I'm on Dr. K's FB page a lot and don't get over here as often.
I am still trucking along with slow weight loss. I've lost close to 60 pounds and it has been 7 months (this was my 3rd surgery). I still lose 10-12 pounds in a matter of days then nothing for weeks. It is really frustrating and I don't understand it, but I've gotten used to it. I still lose inches during the time the scale stands still. I don't get on the scale often.
I am waddling through food issues, as I probably will the rest of my life. But, I'm working through them and that is the important thing. One day at a time. As with food, the mental issues with food I am working through also. The frustration of losing slowly and not being where I want to be. Worrying that I will never get below 200 pounds. The Comparison games. The mind games. Constant work. Choosing to look at how far I have come, NSV's, etc. I am just ready to get past what I had lost with the VSG and get past "I've been here before, here I am again" negativity. not sure if any of that makes sense to ya'll but that what goes on in my head.
I just found out I have a torn meniscus on my right knee. It would have been an easy enough fix but I have significant damage to my cartilage due to arthritis and if they go in and cut the meniscus out (typical scenario) then the damage with increase rapidly and I will be bone on bone. Thankfully, I can do most of my exercises modified without much pain. I just hope it's enough to keep losing inches. I am really disappointed with this current news and predicament.
It's been a rough week personally, too. I have been sick, we had horrible parent-teacher conferences (still reeling from that), and having to make decisions based on P/T conferences. Just really heavy stuff.
So.... there's my update. Sad little me today. lol.
