'Nother update
First and foremost:
Regarding the Bell's Palsy? I HAVE SOME MOVEMENT IN MY CHEEK.
This is amazing. I mean, seriously amazing! My smile is slowly coming back!! And really, as long as I can smile properly, I'll be happy. On that note, still no movement in my eyebrow. I'm still going to keep trying though.
Now, on to the weight loss:
For some reason, my tracker up there isn't tracking. I've lost 39lbs so far, and although I feel like I should have lost more, I still think it's REALLY good! This surgery is really helping, and I'm starting to be able to eat normal foods again. It's weird, I know what I can and cannot handle now, so I'll order accordingly. For example? RICE IS A BIG NO NO. I made the mistake of taking a bite of Spanish Rice (and it was brown rice too!) last night (because my mom makes the BEST), but Lord help me, I was so sick and bloated.
See, carbs/bready/ricey thingies expand in your stomach. That's why when you eat Chinese food with lots of rice, you're hungry again quicker than other meals. It gives you that full feeling until it digests. Well, make your stomach only able to handle about 3-4 ounces, and that rice/bread KICKS YOUR ASS.
Yeah, still testing the waters, trying to see what holds down and what doesn't, but for the most part? So far so good.
Also:
I started at a size 22/24. I took my size 18 jeans STRAIGHT out of the dryer? They slipped right on. I CAN FIT IN MY SIZE 18 DRYER JEANS. HEEEEEEEE~ @.@
Hugs, Kisses, and Salt on your windows and doors,
Sarah
