So I'm having problems with snacking at this point, but at least I'm grabbing pistachios or almonds.
It hasn't had a detrimental effect to my weight loss, if anything it seems to be helping. I was stuck for such a long time.
This morning I was 216.2, thank heaven! That's nearly 18lbs down in 4 weeks, granted 2lbs in 2 weeks is really slow, but the nutritionist says it'll pick up.
The exhaustion hit in at week 2, it really sucks. I sleep in, take a nap and get soooo tired. I don't have the energy for anything.
A few days ago I started getting leg cramps, thought it might be a clot, but it wasn't. Now i have constant tightening and charlie horses in my left leg. I can't eat bananas since they have so much sugar in them.
I've been horrible about taking the nasty calcium citrate, so I'm waiting for my new Calcium Citrate Chocolate Chewables.
As for the difference in weight/inches, I can tell. I've lost 3 in my waist, 3 in my bust and numerous inches elsewhere.
I'm on soft foods, but have found that turkey sausage is my best friend. 2.5 patties = 150 calories and is exactly 2 ounces. Or 1 egg with cheese omelet.
Lunch is one large slice of lunch meat and a cheese square (or string cheese)
Dinner varies from skinless chicken, shrimp, salmon or chilli.
I got stuck ONCE, on salmon. It was just too dry, it was fresh salmon, not canned. Guess it wasn't soft enough. OMG and then I drank after a meal on accident once... it hurt sooooo bad... don't do it! Wait the hour!
Anyways, now that it's getting hot and baby gets his cast off on the 2nd, I expect to be much more active. I only walked around the block twice today. I wanted to do my 2 mile walk, have only done it once since surgery.
So I am cleared for the gym next week, cleared for swimming already. It's hot here.. ick.
I have my post op follow up on the 8th. That's another 2.5 weeks away, I'd love to be down 10lbs by then, high hopes? Not if I do what I'm supposed to! So now... the pictures...
