I've noticed that I can eat pretty much however much food is on my plate. I try and do smaller portions and eat protein first, not many carbs, drink my water, two protein shakes a day but I know I'm not getting enough water on most days. I don't like the taste of my vitamins so I'm skipping those from time to time. I'm drinking a bit thru my meals ...I know which rules I'm breaking and everyday I strive to do better.
I know I need to start getting some exercise. I have my nice new bike and the tread mill greeting me every morning ...now to just get my butt on them !
The night before last I noticed a large round bruise on my lower stomach...not sure what that is all about but I'll be calling the doctor today. I asked on the lap band facebook group and most of the answers were that it was the shots they gave me before surgery. Since I'm almost a month out I kind of doubt that is what it is. Maybe just blood left over from surgery pooling down there?
20 pounds down is a good but not good enough, I did not do this just to lose 20 pounds! I know it will be different after I get my first fill after Thanksgiving but I need to start doing more now. I'm not beating myself up I'm just setting some new challenges for myself. If this was easy, everyone would be skinny, right?
