Silly Scale

Well I'll be damned, I got back on the scale this morning about half an hour after my first (and official) weigh in, and suddenly gone were those extra 2lbs and I was at the same weight as last week - 16st5lbs(229lbs).  I don't know how 2lbs could've melted away in half an hour, I only had a wee in between!  My scale is fairly new but it wasn't very expensive, maybe the scale is a rubbish one?

In other news, though mushies start tomorrow (though it's after midnight, so I guess it's tomorrow now), I had some tuna with mayonnaise for dinner - I thought I'd be able to eat the whole can with 2tbsp mayo, but I don't think I even managed quite half.  It's a funny thing to be full on so much less than before.  I chewed it to death and took small mouthfuls - does tuna mayo count as a mushie?  Oh dear, it's suddenly occurred to me that it might not be??

I was wondering if anyone knew how I might film a vlog?  I just recently bought a webcam because my computer doesn't have one built in - but I don't know if there's a program on my computer that lets me record things - do you have to download some software to do it?  Sorry, probably a silly question, but I'd really like to do a vlog so you can all see me!

And lastly, thank you so much for your comments and your virtual hugs - I can't tell you how much better it made me feel to have them all fly in after my post earlier.  I feel so lucky to be blogging and to 'know' you all and have your support as well as being inspired by your stories.  This community really helps me feel less alone. x

  1. I know the gain is frustrating but please try to relax; it is normal. You will start losing again- promise.

  2. I would not consider tuna mushies no, but you have to go by the diet your surgeon gave you.

    Did they give you one?

  3. Oh Mari ... I am so far behind but I need to tell you that yesyesyes 'we' do gain as our body adjusts to the many changes it's going thru. It will adjust and you will lose. It's true - I was crying the blues in the beginning - your body just needs to adjust.

  4. I got a really good Weight Watcher's brand scale and it is very reliable. Be careful with Tuna still as its more of a solid food than you would think. Take it slow, don't be in too much of a hurry to advance, all in good time...

  5. Yep, as the other ladies said, I think I did use tuna and chicken salad as mushies. Just make sure it's very fine and lots of mayo for moisture. Also I wouldn't try to eat more than 1/4 C at one time.

    Oh, I nominated you for a blog award. Stop by my blog to claim it!

  8. Tuna counted as a mushy in my post diet so no worries. So did salmon...flaky fish.
