I’m sleeping much better, I think. Hubman says I no longer snore, and before my snoring was getting so bad he was thinking of sleeping in another room since the ear plugs weren’t helping enough. Also, I used to get up several times a night – probably from some apnea. Now, I sleep pretty solid unless the kids are up with growing pains, which is sort of often. But even though I know I’m sleeping more solid, WHY, then, am I waking up so tired? I’m soooo sleepy. I’m going to assume this has something to do with the surgery. Maybe I’m still healing and it’s taxing me, or maybe it’s from my diet still being compromised.
I’m having 1-2 protein shakes per day to get in protein. I start “mushy” foods come Sunday – which includes scrambled eggs and soft proteins like dark meat chicken and fish. I’m looking forward to having more substantial foods, that’s for sure. Cottage cheese, too. Never cared that much for it, but looking forward to it now.
I’m starting to look different. People don’t mention the weight loss just yet – but they do mention that I look nice, which is nice. That being said, I get really wierded out by too much attention, lol. I went to this bachelorette party on Saturday night and the theme was Pinup girls, so all us girls dressed up. I am kind of excited to say I got a size 18 at Torrid! I got a dress there, a really cute one. Of course at plus-size stores, sizes always run a bit big. So, it was probably more like a 20, but still! I said 18, so that was pretty FLY for me. It was just a small taste of what (I hope) is to come.
That all being said, I lost NOTHING – not 1 pound during my second week. I admit I needed a break from losing weight so quick, but losing nothing at all has been sucky! Especially when you feel like you’re sooo deprived. Like yesterday, was my nieces birthday and there were so many of our fusion islander foods/american bbq foods taunting me as I slowly snacked on a milked-down greek yogurt. And then the night before, at the bach party we went to this incredible restaurant with the most amazing looking food. Umm… something bad kind of happened that night. I had the clam chowder. It was friggin incredible – never had any that good ever! I had only like 2-3 spoons of it, because I knew I’d get full soon. So, I took it really slow. Then my friends ordered king crab legs and o.m.g. how tempting! I had to have some myself and that was considered a “mushy” which I’m not supposed to have for another week. Yes, I realize this was wrong. But don’t shun me. I paid the price. Plus, you try going through this shyte and see if you don’t have weak moments!
Anyway, the crab took it over the top – and I ended up hurling in the ladies room. People probably thought I was drunk on this Saturday night, but I’ve never been drunk a day in my life. And after hurling in the bathroom, I don’t think I’ll be anytime soon. I’m really going to have to get used to the place between “satisfied” and “full” with this new stomach. It’s not like the old feeling with my old stomach, it’s a totally new feeling, it’s not obvious that ONE bite can take you completely over the edge.
I just hope that experience didn’t put me off the wonders of crab leg meat forever!
Congrats on the 18!!!!! Yay!
