Okay, things yesterday went downhill a bit but I’m still confident I can move forward. Yes, my weight is even higher (again) at 150.2 kilos but I’m assuming that’s due to the large quantities of water I poured into myself. I’m hoping tomorrow will see the weight beginning to drop again.
I had a call from Mandy (the dietitian with Circle of Care) to discuss my email asking what the hell I was doing wrong. She seemed as baffled as me but said to continue the way I am but perhaps with the addition of a ‘food diary’ so I can accurately weigh the ingredients I use (even for salad) to get a better idea of the calories I’m taking in. She’ll also send me a revised diet sheet and suggested I get a blood test when I go in to be weighed tomorrow morning. I have to go in anyway to get a revised post-op appointment schedule. While at CoC, I’ll buy their book about the Gastric Sleeve diet with recipes etc which I think will be really useful over time.
Anyway, today I can say ‘so far so good’. I have a shake cooling in the fridge, that I’ll have for dinner, and a Muscle Chef shake I’ll have for lunch. I’ll have some steamed veg for dinner instead of the stir fry to reduce the oil content and see where we go. I still have two weeks to go so there’s still hope.
