"Monday weigh in" a day late
I too, was away for the weekend so didn't weigh myself until this morning. On Thursday, when I left I was 3 lbs. from the personal "Labor Day" goal I set for myself 5 weeks ago. The scale stopped moving for a couple of days and I was a little bummed out. Well, this morning my scale made up and I exceeded my goal of weighing 275 by one lb. Yeah me!
Beginning weight: 330
Surgery weight: 316
Last week: 278
This week: 274
Beginning weight: 330
Surgery weight: 316
Last week: 278
This week: 274
Ugh! I wanted to weep when I saw the number on the scale today. I have to keep in mind that I just had surgery and my eating has been out of whack. I haven't been able to chew meat and the protein drinks haven't been sitting well with the painkillers, so I have been living on saltines, percocet, and SF popsicles.
I look forward to getting back to a downward slope, scale-wise. I'm slowly starting to feel more like myself and not some sort of insane woman with a rhino horn shoved up my nose cavity.
Beginning weight: 530 lb
Surgery weight: 407 lb
Last week: 220 lb
This week: 232 lb!

Come on Kix....
You know how all the IV fluid probably has made you gain!!! Give it a few days, take care of yourself, and those few extra pounds will melt away. Keep up on your fluids thought!!! I really do feel for you... I have horrible sinus's also!!! Can't imagine the pain of a rhino horn up your nose!!!

Because I am not wearing my bifocals and also because I am stoned on percocet, I saw your abbreviation for "weight" and thought it said vt (Vermont). I was actually trying to figure out how you could gain Vermont!?
Also, how do you manage to stay away from Tony Packo's now that you are post-op? I'm not from Toledo, but my BFF is, and she kindly introduced me to Tony Packo's when I went with her to a family gig.

Fornutaley for me.... I never really took a liking to Tony Packo's... there chicken papriksh is good, but I really don't care for their dogs. However.... I really miss Nett's chili dogs!!! They are my favorite. Netty's is a little ice cream place here in toledo that has the best chili dogs.. luckily they are only open seasonally, so I won't have the temptation for too much longer. Oh... ya, the temptation is there, buy I haven't given in!!!

I didn't gain or lose last week, but held steady at 261. I am hoping this week will be better, as its usually right after my period and around my surgiversary every month that I lose. Come on 250s!!!
