A little frustrated
Apr 12, 2011
This blog definitely isn't a good example of me being a "good" post WLS patient. As a whole, I do a pretty good job with eating, although I might not always get my full protein in. I have been going through another stall, which I'm used to, but they become more frustrating the further along because I am losing less weight all around. I increased my protein, have been working out more faithfully, and the scale wasn't budging.Fast forward. I just got back from a trip to Seattle to visit someone I have been dating. He does not know I have had WLS, so I am less strict with my eating while around him. And I admit, to the occasional drinking. So a week in Seattle, making ok food choices, but not great, and drinking some calories, I came back last night, and I had lost 5 lbs. It seems like everytime I have gone out there I lose 5 lbs. Its just frustrating because I spend the majority of my time doing the right thing, and lose 2 or fewer pounds a week, but doing the wrong thing, I lose 5 pounds! Although frustrating, I know this isn't the right thing, and I will continue eating right and working out. And yes, I have tried increasing calories some, but that didn't help either. Oh well. Just my most recent frustration.
Good news, I had recently purchased some size 16 and 18 jeans. The 18s I had with me on vacation were getting a little loose, so I tried on a 16 when I got home. I figured it was because they are from Old Navy and their sizes can be inconsistent. The 16 I tried, also from Old Navy, was a little snug, but fit. So I tried on a pair of Levis 16, which are a little more traditional size wise. They were also snug, but I could get them on and buttoned. So...for the first time in I don't know how many years...definitely my teens, maybe preteens, I could fit in and close a size 16!
