Bump in the Road!
I weighed myself this week and I gained a pound (.45 kg) I have lost a total of 57.6 pounds (26.13kilograms) in 28 weeks. I saw a commercial today from the American Arthritis Association which said: For every pound (.45 kg) that you lose, you take 4 pounds(1.81 kg)of pressure off of your knees. That means I have taken 230.4 pounds or 104.51 kg of pressure off of my knees! I have to be honest and say that I have been struggling for the past few weeks. I notice that I am getting hungrier sooner and when I am eating, I am eating more than normal. Now I am in NO WAY eating the quantities that I was prior to surgery, as that would be IMPOSSIBLE, but I am still eating more than I would like. So I spoke with my doctor and he explained that since I am almost down 60 pounds, the band is now not as tight around my stomach and he suggested that I get a fill. So I have an appointment for this Wednesday to have some saline placed into the band to make it tighter, which will make me less hungry. I am a little concerned as I have had no food issues or restrictions and I want to maintain that, but I am willing to risk it as I still have a lot more to lose and the way I am at this point, I feel will be very hard to get to without a fill! I went shopping this week and I bought a pair of jeans and a few pairs of dress pants, 3 SIZES SMALLER!!!! YEAH! Felt great, and I have to say, I look pretty good! So until next week, thanks for reading!
