2nd Post Op Appointment

My second apt. w/the doctor went well. He said I was doing fine. I’m still eating less than 600 calories per day, but he didn’t seem too concerned. Still, I feel like I’m not doing very well because I sort of plateaued at a loss of 21lbs and haven’t moved from there in days. (It’s a loss of 21 lbs from the time I weighed in at my first apt. I gained 3 lbs after that – reflected in the 12/13 statistics). Here is my month after profile:
1 Month Post-Op Statistics (Not terribly impressive)
Date: 12/13/03                              1/13/04
Weight: 237                                 213 down 24 lbs
Bust: 50.5″                                  49.5 down 1″
Bra: 44″                                       44 same
Midriff: 47.5″                            47.25 down .25″
Hips: 49.5″                                 48.5 down 1″
Thighs: 26″                               25″ down 1″
Calves: 17″                                17″ same
Upper Arms: 17″                        16″ down 1″
Lower Arms: 11.5″                    11.5″ same
Height 63″                                 64″ same

I wish I knew whether these were good numbers or not. I don’t look any different and don’t feel any different except more tired and have some incision pain. I thought I would have lost a little more steadily than this. Oh well. I guess I have no choice but to be patient. Surely if I am consuming under 600 calories a day and actually excersizing at least 20″ a day, I will lose at some point, no matter what.
