Tomorrow morning is my first official weigh in, and I'm scared to death. I feel like the scale is going to say I haven't lost any weight, or very little. I'm scared this was all for nothing, and I'm not really going to lose any weight. I know that is crazy, but it is truly how I'm feeling tonight. My clothes are looser, so I know that I am losing something, but I'm scared it won't be very much. All the blogs I've read of gastric bypass patients say they lost something like 6 - 10 pounds in the hospital, and I actually came home having gained 3 pounds. They all talk about the weight just falling off of them, so I feel like I should've lost more by now.
Overeating isn't even possible for me any more, and eating high fat, sugary foods isn't either, so how could the scale not move? I tracked my calories the other day, because I was curious how many I am actually eating in a day. After 3 meals and 3 snacks with a total of 65 grams of protein, which is right in the middle of my protein requirements - I had a grand total of 652 calories. That just seems crazy to me! No wonder I don't have any energy, and I would really like to lay in bed all day. Can this be healthy? And how could the weight not be falling off of me with so few calories in a day?
I guess I will see what happens in the morning! Now if Mary would just let me get a good nights sleep!
