Ok time for my 3 week check-in I've been dreading all week
You see I only mentioned stalling last week and that's exactly what my body did, as soon as I started on puree and went back to work. Not only did I stall but put on 1 kg overnight at the start of the stall (still scratching my head on that one!) - 110 kg to 111 kg
So trying to keep it (my head) together; yes I lost a lot of weight quickly, yes I don't blame my body for wanting to go into starvation mode (been fairly hungry post op).
BUUTT so soon after only 2 weeks? Am I doing something wrong, how am I going to keep that negative critical inner voice from dragging me down.... gulp
Ok so here's what I did all week. I weighed every day, scales did not budge - NOT ONE SINGLE GRAM ALL WEEK, I did not change anything, I kept reminding myself this is my body catching up after being starved and I just need to ride it out, its a marathon not a sprint.......
So yesterday my body told me I needed to taste real food - sorry but I've decided that puree stage is maybe worse than the liquid stage - it changes the taste of the food. My weekend treat is Thai Pork Laab (90% pork mince) from the markets, last w'end I pureed it - yuck, yesterday I decided not to puree it, I had half cup and ate slowly (use to that being a x-bander) and chewed throughly. To my surprise I felt immensely satisfied and great, no issues, no pain just all enjoyment. I also had a quarter cup of coconut tapioca dessert (prob quite high in fat and some carbs). For the first time since surgery I felt satisfied, and it lasted longer.
So weigh-in this morning and to my surprise I lost 0.5 kg overnight (so Gege I can relate to your great hot dog story!!!) a but not only that I decided to check my measurements a week early and to my surprise, although I have gained weight in the week I have stalled, I still lost cms.
Total loss in one week:
Waist 5.5 cm (2.16 inches)
Hips 3 cm (1.1 inch)
L thigh 2 cm
R thigh 2 cm
Boobs 3 cm
So the message in my story (saying this to myself ) is NEVER GIVE UP, IGNORE THE INNER CRITIC AND KEEP MEASURING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great day everyone
