What a week. Three days of pain meds, 2 days of tylenol, 1 day at work! - Well maybe 2 days at work if I can make it out of the house today.
I was so excited yesterday when I stepped on the scale and it read 300.0 lbs. Who the heck is excited to see 300.0 - well that would be someone who has been over 300 lbs since about 1/2 way through pregnancy which was in June 2008!! That means that in my one week of clear liquids I have lost 15lbs.
WOOHOO - be gone with you. No more 15lbs of weight dragging me down. Look at all the extra ribs I was carrying around!
Another reason to be happy today?
I GET TO START FULL LIQUIDS!!!
I think I will take a can to work so I can have it for lunch as well. That is, if I actually get my rear in gear and head to work.
Have a great Friday everybody!
Oh no, I remember being psyched when I went below 300 lbs and I didn't even have a good reason to be there-- like a child!
ReplyDeleteAnd now you're on full liquids, fun! My favourite full liquid is V-8 with freshly grated ginger or horseradish, fresh pepper, worcestershire and hot sauce. Those were so refreshing.
If you do make it into work, have a great day. If not, rest up :-)
My fav full liquid was cream of chicken soup with cheese on top (it melts okay...so it's a liquid!) Oh it was like heaven! And I too was so damn excited to see 300! Although, I will not be excited if I ever see it again. BUT I WONT!
ReplyDeleteI went from light liquids to heavier liquids and like you, I got a lotta love from the tomato soup: I can still remember the feeling when I was trying to get it down, and couldn't drink it all. It was an amazing feeling!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh you sound just like me....a few days ago I posted that I reached 225lbs and about how thrilled I was and then I was like "and who gets excited about 225lbs!" lol I had so many people tell me how excited they will be when they get there!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must feel amazing seeing the 300 on the scale! I am so happy for you! I look forward to following your journey!

Well hello there! I too remember both the horror of realizing I weighted over 300 and then the joy at getting back below it again. Congrats on both your surgery and moving up to full liquids. I had a really hard time on them! I didnt find smoothies until after I was on food again but my favorite now is 1/2 strawberries, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein, 1/2c milk whirred up in the blender. Yummy and full of protein.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations-- celebrate your success while looking forward (don't bash yourself in any way !! It is a waste of energy.)
