Throughout the past three weeks, I have disciplined myself to doing what I was told. If my doctor said eat this, I ate that and nothing more. I have been really trying. During this time, I'd notice that the scale was going up instead of down..But I would push the feeling off because I'd just eaten, or something to that affect.
After reading a couple of blogs earlier this week, I began to feel like maybe I wasn't eating enough. I was so concentrated on getting my 50 grams of protein that I didn't notice that I was not really eating filling food. Throughout this time, John has been telling me I should be eating more, but I figured, I was doing just fine.
Well, at the doctors office yesterday for my first fill, I weighed in a 277.0... ( Note: this is a 5 pound gain) I know... The point of this surgery was to lose weight, not to gain weight. Last night, I was hurt. I mean, I've done everything that they asked, but I'd missed some valuable information.
When it became time for me to return to eating solids, I haven't returned to eating meat. I've stayed with baked fish, and tuna..But no chicken, or beef. Both the doctor and dietician are confident, that by eating more solid food, things I'm really going to have to chew, I will start to shed pounds.
I hope that they are right, and I'm happy that I was corrected early on. From here on out I will ask myself two questions before I began eating:
1. Is this food healthy for me?
2. Will this food keep me full???
If I can't answer both of those questions, I need to find other options.
