Week 5 Update

It's been 5 weeks since surgery and ugh, I'm not overly thrilled with what's happening.  I didn't post the week 4 update because I was extremely busy and stressed last week and didn't really lose much.  Last weeks weight (week 4) was 116.4 kg (256.6 lbs)

Current weight: 115.9 kg (255.5 lbs).
Weight loss to date: 9.7 kg (21.5 lbs).

So as you can see I only lost .5 kg = 1 lb.

Here's the thing, I should have lost more last week since I was still on liquid and I walked and got exercise like every single day.  And yet, it sucks!!!! I have been on the "puree" stage for this past week and honestly haven't been walking that much.  I'm just so tired!!  It's been like 90 + degrees (F) here and there is no AC!!!!  So i've been sweating and roasting to death for like 2 weeks now.  And considering we have sunlight for about 20 hrs a day here at the moment it's kind of hard to escape the sun and heat.  I know, I know...all a bunch of excuses.  blah blah blah whatever!  So I have resigned myself to be better about that.  I am even going to check out a gym down the street from where we live to see about perhaps giving them a go.  They have a pilates class!! I do love me some pilates! :)  But I have to wait until my stomach is all healed.  Since I have a gaping hole in my side and agitated all my incision points a few weeks ago.

Here's the other thing that has me frustrated and concerned! I find I'm hungry now like all the freaking time!!!!  Within like 45 mins of eating (about 45 mins before my next meal) I can feel I'm hungry.  And I've started having meat cravings again.  Thankfully I crave that rather then sugar.  But I'm feeling really unsatisfied when it comes to food.  And it's not a mental thing.  For the first 3 - 3.5 weeks I hated eating what I had to eat and wanted real food, but I never really felt hungry.  Now I feel hungry.  So I think my band might need to be adjusted.  I go back to see the doc in 3 weeks, and hopefully he'll do a fill then.  I'll be damned if I'm going to go through all of this and lose 1 lb a week or worse NOTHING.

So this weeks update...sucks!  I am very unhappy at the moment.  However, I do get to eat stuff other then milk and yogurt!  Yeah!

Hopefully next weeks numbers are better.
