Hey All -
I'm back from Paris, I've been home for a week, and successfully avoided the
"country shutting down" snow storm that hit there just after I left! WHEW! I called on Monday for a fill and was able to get in with Dr. F on Thursday. That, my friends, was a Christmas miracle! ;-) I had gained 7 pounds from my last appointment. I knew that. I had broken into the 160's and have spent the last two months clearly back in the 170's. He was great, explained that he also attacked the bread and butter in Paris and promptly gave me .2. I should note that I didn't gain any weight in Paris, actually lost a pound. I think it's the lack of processing that they do to their food, and the walking. Only explanation for it. But, I ate before Paris...a tiny holiday called Thanksgiving that lasted about three days for me. I don't feel bad, I'm still feeling good about my weight (while I'd like to get to goal, I feel good about where I am).
I thought yesterday - after sliming on my morning iced coffee - that I slid right past my sweet spot and should have probably just gotten .1. But by last night I was able to eat my soup with no problem (still technically on liquids yesterday). I think I'm just back to needing to be really careful with what I eat and how I drink - no gulping etc. and probably no iced coffee in the am. I'm drinking hot coffee right now and it's just fine.
That reminds me...does anyone else think that at times it is harder to swallow water than anything else? I know this probably sounds crazy, but there are times when I can drink iced coffee and it goes down no problemo, but then I'll take a drink of water and it lands in my stomach like a rock. Maybe it's just me?
Things are good. My job continues to be amazing, such a good decision that I left my previous job five months ago to go to the bank.
I am thrilled that I leave on the 22nd to head to Arizona and California for 2.5 weeks! AHHH! Cannot wait to see my family!!
I hope you are all doing well! I've been reading, but can't comment from work - which is where I've been doing most of my reading lately. Sending you all many many good thoughts!!

Loved all your pics of Paris on FB! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering how you're doing! So glad things have fallen into place nicely, with a fab trip and the fill and an awesome holiday break to look forward to. Brunch in January?
ReplyDeleteHey! You sound great, hope this fill is a good one!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jen Girl!!!!! It's a fact, there are no fat French people and they eat the best food in the world. Some kind of cruel joke. I also have a problem with water especially cold. I think it's because I still try to chug it. So nice to read a post from you.
ReplyDeleteGlad your trying the hot coffee..have you tried a skinny latte? those are my absolute fav! Miss you xo
ReplyDeleteI definitely have problems with water at the moment, yet I can eat at most meals with no problem! Takes alot of concentration to get the amount of water in....hope this fill gets your weight back down and on track....xx
ReplyDeleteWelcome back...missed you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the last fill.
No big gulps of water for me - but sometimes I forget and then I get a weird pain in my throat and the roof of my mouth - some kind of muscle spasm I think?
ReplyDeleteParis sounded fabulous.
