scale
Jun 04, 2012
Hi everyone,Ok so I became a little obsessed as apparently most people do after WLS or a weight loss program. I was weighing myself every morning and getting more and more depressed every time I looked at the scale and it read either the same as yesterday and the day before and the day before, or a pound or 2 more. I was at a stand still for 6 days and finally today I went down 1lb wohoo....it may only be a pound but every pound adds up is what I say. My Angel Monica Murphy put it very well when she said my body was going through the WTF stage and not thinking I was serious and when it realized I was serious I would see the weight come off....sooooo..I told my body last night in a serious assertive tone "I AM SERIOUS" and it must have heard me lmao.
I decided to tell my husband to put the scale in the shed and hide it, cause God knows I will not go searching for it in there lol, I hate going in the shed for anything and rarely ever do. The only time I go in there is to get my sons bike out and well I am not going to weigh myself outside lol.
I bought a pair of shorts today and they are size 18 and I was in a 22 just before surgery. I don't know if they fit yet as I have not tried them on, but in the store I held them across my waist (Women know what I mean) and they went half way around and then a little more, so hopefully they will fit!
My mom told me today that she is beginning to see a waist on me again. That felt so good, since I see some what of a change but not a whole lot. Yes I realize I am only just a little over a week out and it is not a miracle cure and your fat doesn't just melt off, but I guess I just want it to happen fast, but I am happy as can be with the progress so far.
I am still having issues with constipation and very hard bowel movements when I do have one. I always feel like I have ot go but when I do it hurts like the devil. I have tried MOM but it gags me to take it, so I think I will try something else.
I bought my son and daughter McDonalds today since we were out and I wasn't paying attention to the time and realized it was well past lunch and neither had eaten. I did eat 2 fries from my daughters happy meal and a very small piece of her grilled cheese and that was about 3 hours ago now and I haven't dumped it yet so I am hoping it doesn't sneak up on me. By small piece I mean liek the size of a ritz cracker, I figured I didn't have a burger or anything crappy and 2 fries and a very small piece of bun and cheese wouldn't kill me, I chewed til it was much and chewed some more. Then I came home and ate my normal 1/4c soup, 1/4c greek yogurt and 1/3c protein shake. and now I am completely full for another 2 hours lol.
I am doing alright I think. I find it hard to eat every 2 hours, sometimes I skip snack and just eat 3 meals and 1 snack so I am hoping that is ok. I also find it hard to get my calcium pills in because I hate the taste so what I started doing is making a shake of 1/3c boost, 1c skim milk, ice, and 2 calcium pills and I drink 1/3 c for breakfast (with a calcium pill), 1/3 c lunch, 1/3 c supper and the rest as a snack that way I get all calcium pills in plus 1c milk (which I hate) and my boost. works for me. lol.
Anyway I have to go but I really want to thank Monica Murphy for being my Angel and motivating me with all her posts here and on facebook, and always being there when I have a question or concern. Thanks Monica!!!!!!
Have a good day everyone and see you lighter!!!
