Back to work/ Week 3 weigh in: +2.25lbs

It has been crazy here lately. Well the days my life isn't crazy are days days I don't answer the phone and stay home in bed. So it's not very often.

I started back to work on Monday. Man, oh man, those 12 hour days are long! Answering a phone should not be that tiring. I hope that by next week I will be back into the swing of things. I hope! Plus I need to work on some serious meal planning and packing my lunch for work.

On the weight loss front, I could have done so much better. I actually gained back 2.25lbs. I'm not surprised now that I am eating just about all textures now. I should start loosing again now. It won't be long and I will be going for my 1st fill. I have some restriction but it's not quite enough. My Dr. said to do 5-6 meals a day, each about the size of a hockey puck. I have been trying to stick to that and not get used to eating any more than that. I am doing better at eating slower & taking smaller bites. I am positive that from now on my weigh in's will even out. On the upside, I am down 24lbs down from my initial consult with the surgeon till now. So I am still down!

I am so excited about scrap booking this weekend. I printed a ton of pictures. I have enough things to start my surgery scrapbook and work on plenty of niece & nephew pictures. I am a little concerned about the whole eating in front of a strangers. Sue (the hostess) is an incredible cook so I'm not worried too much about that. However, I will have to take plenty of food with me so I will be able to have my 5-6 small meals. Otherwise, I might get a little cranky by not being on my schedule. I have already found that if I go too long between eating I tend eat too fast.

Wish me luck that I behave myself at scrap booking and don't fall asleep on my pages!
