Week 9 (Or 10 Depending On How You Look At It) - Postop

I weighed in this morning and was at 213.8 (down from a high of 246). That means I lost 1.6 lbs this week (which I am totally fine with).

 

My average weight loss is about 3.6 if you look at it from a 9 week perspective but I lost 10 lbs the week of preop so if I factor 10 weeks working on it then I am averaging a weekly weight loss of 3.24 (not too bad!).

 

I am currently down 32.4 lbs.

 

Memorial Day weekend was definitely a food challenge. I had 3 wine coolers before the sugar got to me (and the fact that I hadn't factored in the carbonation). I had 2 glasses of wine, a bunch of cheese its, 2 servings of lemon merange pie (not back to back), and decent amount of doritos. Everything else was pretty much within moderation. If I eat too fast I get very hot quickly and feel like crude. It is sometimes a chore to slow down the eating when everyone around you is eating so fast. Got compliments from my neices whom I hadn't see in awhile and got some random "Are you losing weight" comments at work.

 

I don't get super hunger and I fill up fast. I ate out twice this week. Once I had edamane and a hamburger with sauteed mushrooms and melted cheese (no bun and I didn't finish all the hamburger). I also went to McDonalds and had the kids meal with 4 chicken nuggets, small fries, and 1/2 a milk (I drank the other half of the milk the next day and had the apple slices in my lunch the next day as well).

 

Today I ate

 

Breakfast - one piece of deli salami and one piece of deli roast beef plus a 1/2 a cup of milk

 

Snack - Ensure high protein shake

 

Lunch - green sugar free jello, 1 oz plain almonds, diced turkey cubes and a diced cheese stick (spread out over an hour an a half)

 

Snack - cut up strawberries and blueberries, 5 peices of deli salami, and 2 jalepeno stuffed olives (plus 2 sugar free breath mints)

 

Dinner - Single serving of Lloyds BBQ (bought them in 4 oz individual packets)

 

I didn't do any exercise (and I feel kind of bad about that considering I had 3 days off where I could have at least walked). I did go on a field trip with students where I walked up a giant lighthouse but that was about it.

 

Until next week!

 

Goal next week - Get more water in!!!!

Oh watch that Ensure!! I drank that when I was on Chemo for a year and gained 60+ lbs, and considering how ill I was most of the time that was a lot of weight - which is part of the problem I have today. Ensure has a lot of suger.

Good to know. I actually drank the last Ensure yesterday. I wasn't a huge fan but felt the need to finish what I purchased. Normally I favor Atkins or Slim Fast high protein.

I've been drinking the pure protein chocolate shakes from walmart. They are 23 grams of proteian and 1.5 grams of fat and only 1 gram of sugar and they don't taste bad at all.

That's good that you still lost after the holiday. I had my first gain but I'm not worried about it. It's my TOM and I didn't drink enough water over the weekend. I was out of town and ate all kinds of bad food. I only worked out twice last week. My elliptical is supposed to be coming soon so I will try to get on it everyday.

Welittle1 - I'll look for the pure protein chocolate shake at Walmart (thanks!).

Leah - It is my TOM of the month too (or it will be on Sunday). Hoping my hormones balance by Wednesday's weigh in! I am a little worred about a camping trip I am taking this weekend but I am hoping there are plenty of hiking/walking opportunites to balance the eating out.
