sickofrollercoaster 7 Posted May 18, 2010 Well, I said I was not going to weigh myself until I returned to work on Monday the 24th of May. I was getting cabin fever and needed to just come in to the office and get some things done so I came in and of course the scale in our gym was taunting me so I went and weighed myself, reluctantly because my size 14 work pants do not feel much different today as they did about 2 weeks ago when I wore them pre-op. Was not expecting to see the numbers on the scale this morning at all!!! Wow! So I know it will slow down and I need to continue to remind myself of that but dang, what a wonderful start to my journey. I am proud of myself, raising three kids on my own and having to cook every meal for them while I do not even lick a finger is tough but this confirms for me that I am doing the right thing and this is all well worth it! WHOOP!!!! (hey I am a Texas Aggie, gotta give a Whoop!!!) Thanks for all of the support and encouragement I have found here. VST is my new addiction...:thumbup1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

texaschick 0 Posted May 21, 2010 Way to work that sleeve Angie! Keep your spirits up and your carbs down! :thumbup1: BTW. Hook 'em Horns..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickofrollercoaster 7 Posted May 22, 2010 Thanks everyone! Well, the carbs are really scaring me. Dr A says 60 grams of carbs a day. I am not sure how to get all the calories in without going over carbs. Today was a very full day, hard to get enough Protein without cars unless I drink all Protein Shakes with low carbs and nothing else. Hard to get excited about all of things things I can eat when eating all of these things will put me way over on carbs!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
