Long time no see

May 22, 2012

Ok its been forever since I posted anything. The reason is not much has changed...BOOOOO!!! I am 7 weeks post op and today I weighed 232. The messed up part is Sunday morning I weighed 229.8. I was so happy to have finally made it out of the 30's but I knew it wouldn't last. From Wednesday to Sunday I lost 4 pounds from 233 to 229 but then from Sunday to Monday I gained all 4 back! The worst part is its not like I went on a eating spree. I think the scale Gods just hate me lol. Yes, I weigh daily. I know most people say not to but it keeps me mindful of what I'm doing. Especially, because I have to watch myself since I don't dump from sugar or anything else. I do get the worst stomach pain when I eat certain things like white meat but it refuses to come back up so I just suffer for a LONG time.
But, enough of my complaints. I'm happy in general. The physician assistant said that even though I think my weight loss is super slow its really not. She said I've lost 23% of my excess body weight and that's fine. I'm wearing about a size 16 (I think) since I avoid dressing rooms & trying on new clothes. It took a while but I've forced myself into the gym. I had to finally come to terms with the fact that the scale is not going to move if I continue to sit on the couch lol. In other good news I'll finally be using my nursing license soon. God was with me on this one cuz I made my mind up that if I got a job offer before my 6 weeks was up I was just going to suffer through it and take my butt to work. But, I got the job offer on Tuesday and had my 6 week appointment/clearance on Wednesday. I know that some people return to work much sooner but I was told that with the physical demands of nursing it wouldn't be a good idea for me to start working before that. As you can see I'm hard headed and don't like the idea of not having a pay check so its a good thing it worked out the way it did.
