Magical scale/update
Nov 25, 2012
So I usually don't get excited about scales and lately the digital scales are seriously getting on my last nerve. I have always been well over the weight limit for those dinky dial scales. Well I kid you not, I was at wal-mart with the hubby and decided, let's see if I fit on this scale, and sure enough I did...BUT to my surprise the scale didn't go around twice!! It weighed me in at 288lbs. Now either I'm seeing things or the scale is actually telling the truth. I'm so tempted to go back and buy one since it was only $11. So no need for a bulky digital scale. If that's the case and I really am UNDER 290lbs I feel amazing, still in shock, but amazing! Totally going to go off subject, but I haven't been on much to update blogs. So here it goes, thanksgiving wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had some turkey and a bite of each side, but honestly the sick feeling afterwards of eating it, made me not even crave it afterwards. I get so sick, nothing like being at your Father's for dinner and you're in the bathroom getting sick. Took lots of pictures as well, and WOW can you tell the difference from before surgery until now, I even posted up a picture of it. It's things like the picture and the scale that make me realize this surgery IS working even if it's going slow or at least it is to me. I guess after being big all your life you just build up this mentality that you will NEVER lose weight and will always be big, surgery or not ya know. Just before Thanksgiving though, my doctor had put me on predisone for my psoriasis since it's so inflammed, well my normal reaction occured to the medicine. I wanted to eat, and it had to be salty. So even though it was bad of me, I ate some pringles to help those cravings I did however control how much. So this month makes it 2 months post op and it feels like we had it a lifetime ago, I guess from all the dramatic changes maybe?! I have been doing alot of trial and error on foods to see if my body can tolerate it or not, and trust me I learn my lesson if it comes back up. Sugar is not my friend even if it's in small amounts, I get bad dumping, which my dumping consists of a racing heart, sweats, hotness, and the sensation of feeling dizzy, then I eventaully have to throw up what I can. So yes this is a big update but I felt the need to get it all out since I don't update as much as I should, I want to be years out coming back to this blog and knowing where I was at this point and time in my journey, ya know?! Until next time...take care!
