Dr. Visit #11 (Fill #5) The Weighting Game…
Posted in Gastric Banding on February 15, 2010
The scale goes up, the scale goes down – this crazy game is making me frown. Sorry it just flowed out like that!
I’m a little bummed this month. I have actually gained a couple pounds (two). I know, I know… WTF?
I seriously believe the weight gain is from working my ass off at the gym. I have been working out three days a week for the past two months. I have been focusing on weight-lifting with a little cardio.
Last week we were snowed in for several days with around three feet of snow. Needless to say I wasn’t able to hit the gym like I normally would. I decided to jump on the scale since I hadn’t been the gym. Strangely enough I had lost a couple (two) pounds. I know, I know… WTF?
I feel like I should be loosing more! I received a half (.5cc) fill this past visit. I wish I had received a full (1cc) fill. I currently have 9cc’s in by band. It only holds 14cc.
I honestly don’t feel any more restriction. I am starting to wonder if I am doing something wrong. I know this process takes time, but I’m nearing my one year mark.
All B.S. aside- I know my food choices could still be better. A lot better! Carbs be damned. I am going to work on eating healthier. I may even try some SlimFast drinks for meal replacement.
Ten months into this journey I have lost a total of 30.2 pounds. I wish it was more!
