I am still in my funk but I am trying really hard to fake it, I'm a girl that should be easy right :-)
My leg is getting better, I no longer have intense pain, it is just a dull throb. I go back and have acupuncture again tomorrow, probably have it wrapped one more time. I am going to be able to walk soon, maybe by the first of next week.
One of my friends sent me a text last night and asked me when I had my band surgery because she had another friend that had been banded. It hit me it has been almost 4 months since my surgery. I have lost 20 pounds. The friend has lost 25 pounds since October. At first I was really upset about this but I have lost 20 pounds. This is huge for me. I was one of those people that would work out all the time, eat right 99% of the time and maintain. I was a low BMI candidate, my starting BMI was 31.4, my current BMI is 27.6; very close to "normal". Would I complain about losing 25 pounds in a month? Nope but I am not that person. I have another fill scheduled for Monday and I am not 100% sure I want a fill. I think I am at a good spot right now. Once I start working out again I think the weight will slowly start to come off again.
I am trying really hard to focus on my journey and not compare to other people. It's a process.
very good way to look at it!!
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard not to compare but that is the first thing I tell new bandsters when they ask for advice! Everyone is so different and you are doing great!
