May/June Weight Loss Challenge

[channlluv]

This is a mid-week checkin, but as of a few minutes ago, I'm down to 221. This is the lightest I've been in probably ten years.

I had nasal/base of my tongue surgery on Friday and I was on narcotics until last night. I've been avoiding them today because I want to go back to work tomorrow.

DH went and got me three days' worth of acai bowls from Robeks, sans the granola topping, and I've eaten a whole jar of TreeTop Apple Sauce and one can of soup, plus grits and scrambled eggs. I tried a peanutbutter sandwich, but the whole grain bread is just too rough on my throat.

I'm off exercise until further notice from the doctor - nothing strenuous that might put pressure on my breathing passages. I'm not allowed to blow my nose, I'm doing twice-daily neti pot rinses. Multiple daily spritzes with nasal spray and saline.

I'm wondering how much of the loss is water and muscle mass -- I'm feeling really weak, but I'm coming off narcotics, too. The woozy is probably from that.

Now, when I can get back to exercise and eating solid food...can I keep this weight off?

Wednesday morning: 218.6 -- makes me wonder if I take another day off and sleep and eat nothing but applesauce...
