Went food shopping and they had samples of mango so I took one and I realized that I didn't chew it well enough when I got pain and it threaten to make me vomit but lucky I didn't. If I had I don't think people would enjoy shopping in that area. I hope this little event will help remind me to chew chew

I just gotta keep remembering I am me, I am not some one else. It seems that I want to lose fast  because I can gain 5 lbs over a weekend before WLS. According to his scale (the same one that was so kind and had me weighing 2 lbs less last time now took the 2 lbs back  so I said I lost 9 he said I lost 8 and since I step on my scale more that will be using the numbers on my blog. Total lost since my first visit 22 lbs. The 9 lbs is about what I would have lost the first 2 weeks at WW. So I am happy in fact from now on WW won't be able to match my WLS weight. The main thing he was very pleased and so I am. I told him how I wanted to eat and Auntie Ann's pretzel but I didn't and he said it was good that I didn't because it would have hurt. Well, we are moving up in the world onto the next stage. I don't see him for another 4 months unless something comes up I can call them.

According to my scale I have lost 9 lbs after all that nasty stuff has left my body, (you did all leave didn't you?). I know I shouldn't compare myself to other people who have lost alot on the 2 weeks post op but man I would love those numbers. I gotta remember slow and steady and I am a lightweight and no one losses at the same rate (especially if you are a male). So I need to remember the small things and they will get better.

the back of my pants isn't pulled tight and the seams are not ready to ripe

~I can sit in stadium chairs that have arms and not needing a shoe horn to get in or to get out of

~according to my daughter my stomach looks smaller

~able to walk 0.75 miles/30 minutes yesterday

~energy is slowly coming back that is if I don't over do it the day before

I hope the Dr office will weigh me on the scale that register less, because last time they did it I was less than my home scale. There is always a first and that was it, can we do it a second time? I hope so

I stepped on the scale and I stayed the same thats ok better than a gain. Went to a baseball game today when i noticed a person trying to sit down, the chair had armrests and they squeezed in the chair that was when i realized that i didn't need a shoehorn, wonder if i could sell them on Craig's List. so, the chair wasn't a problem it was the scents of hot dogs, pop corn, cotton candy, ice cream, coke, candy they didn't bother me it was the Auntie  Annie pretzel the adv was directly across from me. I wanted one but i kept on drinking my water. so, that was a victory for me.

I don't know where you live but here in Lancaster county,PA we have some wonderful cooks and the scents is overwhelming especially when I am trying to stay with my plan. Today was Project Linus and we are to bring something to share at lunch I knew I just couldn't sit there and drink my protein, have yogurt and of course water so I didn't go. It was OK because I didn't finish any projects.  Next week I have a voluntary lunch again great cooks and they always give you too much to eat and 4 choices of cakes or pies. I just don't feel strong enough to sit there while everyone else is eating. No doggie bag other wise I would take it home to hubby but its just sitting there. I feel comfortable not attending I received my thanks from the people I serve. I haven't told the whole world about my WLS and there are plenty of people from both groups who do not know. Just saying I am eating healthy and watch what I am eating just doesn't cut it with all people and I feel like I have no control about situations like these at this time. Until I am further out and feel like I have control, these 2 events are not happening this week for me. And that is OK. Well, I had better get sewing/crocheting so that in June I have something to take to Project Linus and eating should be "easier" and I would feel in better control.

Well I complained about my liquid breakfast yesterday and it happened today. I realized that I am drinking it tooooo faassst. Its so easy to drink like old time. with my water, I think I got the speed under control but I still do not drink enough through out the day and then come evening and I am sitting there is my water but I still forget to drink. I try to leave it in my hand but when you are trying to crochet its hard to hold the water....still trying to figure that out. Was thinking of getting the timer out and set it for 5 minutes then drink and reset the time again, again. Hmmm how long should it take to drink a protein drink of 8 oz.? Guess I will be doing research on the answer.

I started back on my sleeping pill, I have been on these before. The first night I just couldn't relax the legs kept moving finally went to sleep in my chair and return to bed. The same thing happened for the last 2 nights. The legs are restless until I fall asleep. I take the med early enough so I should be sleepy but the legs are not. Well, I will keep trying these until Mon, if they are still giving me problems I will be calling my Dr.

Only lost 0.5 lbs today was the cause of "eating" that meat? (at Costo they have samples I tried the one with meat and spices the kind of spices that I don't/haven't used) was it the salt? or something else? retaining water? After getting the juice out I took the meat out of my mouth and threw it out.  Or this is what my body decide to do only 0.5 shed day. Anyway back to drinking my drink before its time for something else to drink.

 My daughter and i went to Costa looking for protein. They had free samples and were handing out one with meat and nicely spiced. i took one i just wanted to get the juice out of it. My daughter thought hope mom doesn't get sick and then she saw me putting it back into the paper wrapper, she asked are you ok? Yes, i can't eat meat i just wanted a taste of the juice. She was glad that i wasn't getting sick. Sorry, didn't mean to scared you.

I had my liquid breakfast and its seems like my stomach doesn't like to "eat" in the AM any more. I guess it traveled back in time to my 20's when I would skip breakfast but I have been eating breakfast for at least 10-20 years so what gives? be quite down there before you wake up the hubby. Still having strange dreams could this still be a "hang over" from anesthesia? On the bright side its not nightmares. Still losing so I am so loving this honeymoon better than my first honeymoon. LOL (gained on that one).

I can't believe it I drank my usual protein drink this morning & then I had diarrhea didn't drink fast oh well on the bright side another 2 lbs gone.

What a nice surprise to find myself -3.5 lbs. I know I shouldn't weigh my self every morning but I just wanted to be sure that I was starting to lose the real wt (not stuff from surgery). I am so totally happy in fact I feel lighter already yes I can have a wild imagination how can I feel lighter and happier f it is only 3.5 lbs I don't know but I am. Maybe because I see it working just like every body else said it would meaning my body isn't odd by not losing but I am normal and losing. Honeymoon period = happiness.  Now I need to decide how often I step on the scale. Maybe once a week? Do you step on the scale and how often?
