Frustration Station!!!

Hello there.  I'm sorry that I didn't have a weigh in update last week.  My husband, daughter and I all took turns being sick so things were a little crazy around my house.

So, today I had another appointment with my Lap-Band nurse.  In the last TWO WEEKS I have only lost .4 pounds.  I can't even get a half of a pound!?  I also took my measurements in hopes that it would make me feel better about my small loss....nope.  I have lost ZERO inches over the past 2 weeks.  To say that I am frustrated is an understatement.  Kristi (the nurse) is really nice and told me that a loss in weight is a loss so she doesn't want me to get frustrated.  I understand where she is coming from, but weeks of hardly any weight loss after having weight loss surgery is hard to be ok with.  We talked about my meals and she decided to put another .5 CC's in my band which makes my total 4 CC's.

In my previous posts, I mentioned that I am doing hot yoga for my exercise.  This is still true, but I have also found another form of yoga that I really enjoy.  It's called Vinyasa.  It's more of a "flow yoga" and it's completely different than hot yoga.  I enjoy going to both but Vinyasa seems to be a slight cardio type of workout along with muscle strengthening and toning.  I have been going to yoga 3 times a week up to this point but I think I am going to increase to 4 now.  I will probably do 2 Vinyasa classes a week and 2 hot yoga classes a week.

I think that is all I have to say for now.  If you have any suggestions of how I can start seeing the loss on the scale, please leave me a comment!  I am also open to any recipes or food ideas you have that might help me on this journey!

Thanks for reading.  I will see you in a week for a weigh in!
