So, yesterday I went for my 6 week post op check up with the surgeon. I was a little apprehensive stepping on the scale. I mean, I have been monitoring my weight at home using the Wii Fit board, but how accurate is that, really? Well, I should not have been worried at all. I knew I was losing, just not so sure I was losing like I thought. (I still see a fat me when I look in the mirror) Well, the scales told the truth, and were right on with the Wii Fit. As of yesterday, I was down to 212. That is 39 pounds GONE since I started this journey, and 21 GONE since surgery. I was one happy lady!! The PA cleared me to eat anything with caution. Basically, what he said was to experiment and see if I tolerated it. But not to try a bunch of new things too fast. And remember the 30-30-30 rule.
WELL........I have been DYING to have lasagna. So, I made a pan last night. I put a super small serving on my plate, 4-year-old Hailey had a bigger serving. I ate 1 (ONE) tiny bite and it felt like bricks sitting in my little pouchy. Ran to the bathroom, dry heaved for a few minutes, felt better. Came back out to the dining room, sat down and pushed the plate away. My daughter and Hailey asked me if I was ok. Luckily my hubby had explained to them what was happenings so I didn't have to. Well, since I hadn't actually vomited, the little bite was still present in my tummy. UGH!! Next thing I know, I was running back to the bathroom. This time was successful. I felt so much better.
Woke up this morning with a pissed off pouch. It is even getting grumpy with water. I'm taking it nice and slow today.
Even though I can't eat some things right now, I may be able to later in the future. I'm hoping so, As of right now, lasanga and pot roast are the only 2 things I can't tolerate.
I am eagerly awaiting the day I step on the scale and I am in "One-derland"!!! Won't be long now!!!
