Apollo Overstitch - Week 3

Dec 01, 2015

Thanksgiving turned out to be WONDERFUL for me.  I was with brothers and sisters, and my favorite cousin.  They all cooked food for an army, and only 5 of us were there.  laugh  I behaved SO WELL.  Brought a turkey burger (can add this to my diet now!), 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes, and a SF pudding.  Didn't eat or drink when I wasn't supposed to, and enjoyed myself just as much even though I couldn't eat what they ate.

Was looking forward to my weigh in Monday - hoping for at least a 2 lb loss.  I had a 2 lb GAIN.

How in the name of all that's holy - can I have a gain?!  My average calorie intake: 850.  Plus I exercise daily burning between 300-350.  I was so frustrated Monday I about cried.  After my 25lbs, I thought maybe I'd beat the negativity and actually lose some significant weight.  I'm really down right now.

I sent my dietitian an email hoping she could provide insight.  I won't go into too much detail, but I will say that being a woman, and dealing with certain physical goings-on every month, which just so happened to be going on last week, maybe that's the cause for the weight. 

Looking forward to seeing my doctor this Friday for my first post-op visit.  Maybe I'll be lucky and have lost the errant 2 lbs by then...
