198.2
or pouch should I say?! Anyways...
I use the same type of plate nightly for dinner now. It's a salad plate with circles. I put my food into the smallest circle and am comfortable after eating that amount of food. Last night my 1/2 of a chicken breast was a little over the circle, I had a dab each of mac salad, potato salad and creamy Cole slaw all within the circle. I thought once I peeled off the skin, took out the cartilage bone thing my chicken would be smaller so a little over the circle was OK. I worked on my chicken first (protein) with a bite of creamy style Cole slaw here and there to get some wetness in there. Slowly I chewed, ate, enjoyed my food. Yes, I was enjoying my food and had every intention of eating it all. Hubby was next to me and kept looking @ my plate while he was eating his salad ~ I saw him look at least 3 times @ my plate. At about the 4th glance @ my plate I had a small amount of all my side salads left. Since I knew I was being watched I asked the hubster if he wanted the rest of my food. And he takes my plate and says "I was wondering how you were gonna fit all that into your pouch." ??!!
On another note today is Post Op Day 112. My weight this morning was slightly up from 2 days ago. Today was 198.2, two days ago it was 197.6 ~ maybe I shouldn't weigh every day and just go with once a week since it does fluctuate daily.
We did our hike last night, stairs X's 2 ~ I felt rather weak last night after conquering the 804 steps on the stairs ~ not the muscle shaky stuff but just weak. The hubby and I went over my diet driving home ~ enough proteins? enough carbs? ~ my diet hasn't changed so I'm thinking it was just a weak kind of moment.
On the hike I saw a walking stick crossing the path ~ haven't seen or heard of one of those in years. Better than the snake I saw the last trip!

Hi there. I am the student that Aimee referred to. I've checked out some of your blog--very interesting! I am thinking about a lapband, however I'm right on the line (34 BMI with HBP and other medical stuff). Insurance won't pay, so resort to Weight Watchers. I saw you have a salad plate that had circles drawn on for the portion size--did you buy or make it? I like that idea. My problem is portion control and eating too late at night...and of course being lazy. Now I've started exercising. Lifestyle change, I've begun the journey. You do look great and I admire that you have this blog-very cool! Keep up the good work!
Hey Cathy!! You can email me with any questions if you like. meandmygizmo@gmail.com
I was on the line also with my BMI. With the other medical issues the ins co did pay for surgery.
The plate is part of our set, I don't think it is available anymore. Unless you find it @ goodwill or something.
I'm glad you have started your lifestyle change. I lost weight on weight watchers but gained some back. It is a great program and the points system really is flexible.
Stop by anytime and read my blog and like I said feel free to email me!
Glad Aimee referred you to me! ;-)
