Sinus Surgery Today

I had sinus surgery to fix a deviated septum.  It went well but I'm really sore and stuffy.  I couldn't wait to get home for a Click shake.   No cooking by me so I sent DH to Wendy's with coupons.  He got burgers, fries and a Frosty for him and DS.  I requested  chili and a baked potato.  Not low carb, but healthy.  I got 2 servings out of it.  I was thinking of a little dish of ice cream, only 10 grams of sugar, but nixed that idea.  I usually avoid ice cream as it makes me dump even if it's low sugar. 

Before I went to the hospital, I weighed at home and was down another lb.  Great!!  The pants I wore felt a little looser.  So at the hospital she took my word for my height but took me to a scale.  I was shocked to see 11 lbs.  more than at home.  It was a digital scale as is my scale but the hospital scale should be accurate.  I just replaced the battery in my scale but I'm buying a new scale.

yeah for you deciding not to have the icecream!!! Glad your home and surgery went well. I take the 11 lbs was below what your scale reads??? Yeah!!!!! I know mine in my night gown at home is in the morning is still about 3 lbs more than with cloths on at the doctors in the afternoon!!!! so, I always deduct 3 lbs from my home scale!!! thinking of buying a new one also!

Oh no. Hospital scale was 11 lbs higher than my scale.  Mine is digital and hasn't worked since we moved in August.  May have gotten messed up.

With clothes on in the middle of the day, I can be 5-6 # heavier than in the morning at home.  I think the important part is that you are going down, on whatever scale. 

Wendy's chili is a good choice when you are out and fast food is about it.  These days, many of our groceries have salad bars and I love to be able to do that but sometimes chili is just better than salad, expecially in the cold.  Early out, I would just go to the deli and get 2-3 oz of roast beef.  Great easy and good for you.

Hope you feel back to normal soon. 

It wasn't the clothes.  I had on a lovely paper gown and socks.

Ah yes, I have worn that lovely fashion statement before!!!

Just keep following your plan and know you will do well. All scales are different. I know about what to expect at my doctor's office in the middle of the day with clothing compared to what I weigh on mine in the morning when I first get up in only my gown. . as someone else said as long as you see on your scale that it is going down, know it's working.! :) hope your feeling better now.
