More than 4 months Out

Oct 21, 2011

Well, it has been 4.5 months since my surgery and I am still losing weight.   My caloric intake is seemingly higher than others at about 1200 to 1500 per day.   Despite that, I am losing a a steady rate of 1 pound per week now.   I am 3 pounds from a 25 BMI (169) and 12 pounds from my goal weight.  I am feeling fairly confident that i will reach my first goal of a 25 BMI, and hopeful that I will reach my goal weight.   Only time will tell. 

It has been interesting because I have learned that I probably will never "dump".   One day, I was feeling quite shaky and when I checked my blood sugar, it was dangerously low.   We were travelling so I didn't have a lot of options except consume a part of a chocolate bar to see if that would raise my sugar.    I did eat about 6 squares of a jersey milk and my sugar came up a bit.   I never gave it any thought until afterward, but it didn't make me feel ill at all.   I really don't want to challenge this again, but I think I am pretty safe to assume that I won't be a dumper.   I am not sure if this is good or bad, but it is what it is.
