LD Day 7

Jan 25, 2009

weight: 391.1

another bounce up but by the time I went to bed last night the hunger I'd been battling for days had abated.  Here's hoping it stays that way  (and that I just, for the love of God, get my period and move on from that too!).

10am - call from surgeon; my iron levels dropped 2 points from first lab work.  Explained that I'd run out of iron supplements and hadnt bought more, waiting to see what I'd need post surgery, and they said I was to start taking iron 3x a day with orange juice.  

Took this opportunity to ask about fluctuating weight I've been complaining about.  It was very clear that she did not believe me when I said I'd been sticking to the plan which was frustrating and pushed a bunch of bad buttons.  Found out that I wasn't supposed to be adding calories back in for work-outs (or even doing the work-outs for that matter).  My work-out partner is bummed but this is good to know.

Decided to cut to the chase and just buy the "bariatric diet in a box" supplies from Med-Diet Laboratories (which turned out to be close to our house).  Husband kindly headed off to get that and the iron supplements.

1:21pm - still haven't had anything to eat since last night and am doing ok...makes me hope that the problems with hunger are over.

7:34pm  - well hot damn!  That Med Laboratories food is very tasty.  WIsh I'd started with this in the first place.
