So, im one of the unlucky ones. I guess its common though. After starting on soft foods, I see the number going up. No!!! I keep telling myself its ok its to be expected. After all, I was on straight liquids. Of course drinking water and eating ice for 2 weeks will make you lose weight. Im getting anxious to get my first fill. When that happens, ill start to lose the weight again. I don't go in for that until June 10th which seems like an eternity from now. If I gain back everything ive lose im going to be pissed. Im going the wrong way!!!
Im trying not to let that get me down though. Ive started working out at the YMCA. I do about 30 minutes of cardio. I know thats not a lot but my body is already asking me what the heck im doing. I also think I did a little bit too much around the house this week. My stomach hurts bad. So I have to take it easy (yeah right).
Today I am supposed to start solid foods. That means pretty much anything is fair game. But, im scared! I don't want food to get stuck. I don't want to gain any weight. But I can't go on not eating anything forever. I need to get the protein and other stuff in my body. When I do eat, I don't eat a lot. Im not sure if I feel full or not when I do eat. I think its more like my brain says okay its time to stop. I measure out everything I eat and use a small plate so that I don't eat too much. So that cant be the reason im gaining. I need to step away from the apple juice though. It has a lot of sugar and im becoming addicted to it. I don't want my body to depend on that sugar. Time to get it out of the house.

Yes, if you are not drinking as much, your body will hoard liquids for a while, until it adjusts to the new levels. So normal, but disappointing, I know. Just another hurdle to overcome.
ReplyDeleteYou know you are suppose to start exercising slowly... and that advice is for people who are NOT overweight and out of shape. Those people, us in other words, have to REALLY be careful. Make yourself do less, if you feel it, you are doing too much. Go through the motions, don't use any weight, walk don't run...
They say "no pain no gain", I say "bull crap". If I'm in pain, I'm not going to be working out, am I?
At our level, simple stretches and movements are more than we are used to. That's were we begin, not on the treadmill or weight machines. (I REALLY am getting worked up here lol)
