Four months post-op
Jul. 31st, 2013 11:49 amMy four month surge-versary was Monday and things are going pretty swimmingly. I've been in a stall for a few weeks now, but my surgeon doesn't want me worry about it. In fact, when I said that I should hide the scale, he said I should throw it out the window. I panicked that I've lost my 60% of weight (which is the average for gastric bypass), but he assures me that I have another fourteen months to go. Yes, the loss will slow, but it will continue.
I really should have taken measurements at the start so I could see *that* change.
As mentioned elseweb, during my check-up yesterday, my surgeon asked if I watch "True Blood". When I said yes, he replied that I'm starting to look like Sookie. Heh. I think the only things Anna Paquin and I have in common are our blonde hair, dark brown eyes, and funny noses, but I'll take the compliment.
In related news, I have FINALLY organized the HUMONGOUS pile of too big clothing which have been languishing in the craft room. ( The pile was huge. )
Sooo... I think I'll host a "come take my gently used clothes" day in the near future. Maybe 10 Aug? (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reedrover come on over any time after work if you don't want to traipse up here on a Saturday. I'm free every evening but the 6th.)
My stamina is improving with the assistance of extra protein. I'm able to ride my bike about six miles before I need to break for half a cheese stick or a few swigs of a protein shake. Last night's ride was juuust shy of eleven miles and I was pretty weak and shivery by the time I got home. Happily, bounced back pretty quickly and am looking forward to getting back on the bike (if the storms hold off) or my toning video (if they don't).
