Monday’s are the “official” weigh in day for the week since I started on a Monday. By next Monday I should no longer be obese.
Good job on your weight loss. It has been excellent to watch your journey.

Gained 0.2 lbs yesterday eating the same stuff I have been for weeks. I’m fairly certain it is because I haven’t sat on a toilet in about 4 days. Hopefully that remedies itself today.
You figure this is an effect from the GLP1 slowing gastric emptying, or some other issue?
Oh, absolutely the GLP1. I was as regular as regular could be before I started this.
I read one of the side affects was diarrheas. If that is a side affect, that is the side affect I get.

On Saturday I upped the dose of Ozempic (that is just what you do until you find the sweet spot, I guess). No bueno. No matter how little I eat, I feel like garbage for a few hours. Cutting back to half that dose this Saturday. Bonus is that it will last longer. I’ve lost 4.4lbs in the last 2 days. Part of that was being bloated Tuesday morning, but a big part of it is barely being able to eat.
On the upside, I’m no longer obese and I’ve lost 41lbs. since January 1 (31 since I started the keto on 8/12).
Congrats on that weight loss! And definitely agree with lowering the dose.

Stomach felt somewhat better yesterday. I was still barely able to eat anything, but I didn’t feel like garbage afterwards. And I got to sit on the toilet this morning. It’s the little things in life.

Had a really shit weekend. The transmission on my vehicle crapped out just as I was heading back from visiting my wife. EVERYTHING in College Station closes by 3:30 on Saturday. AAA towed it to a transmission shop that isn’t open until this morning. It may be under warranty, but I can’t call them until 7 this morning. If it IS under warranty, I’ll have to get it towed to a dealership, I think. Anyway, I ended up spending the night in a hotel in College Station because I couldn’t get a rental car until 10:00 yesterday morning. I ate like shit. In fact, I started eating carbs Friday night. Over the weekend I ate a ton of summer sausage, cheddar, and Ritz crackers. That is why I am so swollen up. So much sodium and carbs. I will be peeing every five minutes once it starts shedding. I weighed 203 Saturday morning, so I gained 5.4 lbs in 2 days. Not ideal, but I’m not going to sweat it and just roll with it and get back on track.
Primarily water weight, I would wager to bet.
And with this mindset, you’re going to bounce back in no time!
I have to comment on saying we’re not going to sweat the water weight, when, in reality, that’s EXACTLY what we are going to do, haha.
I’m pissing it out today, for sure.

The highway that I have to take to the gym was shut down for construction this morning. I tried to find a way around, but gave up fairly quick. I’m really hoping it is open when I leave for work in 30 minutes. Came home and walked for about 25 minutes before taking my dogs out (they are too slow to really call walking them exercise).

Been working from home the last couple of days and have eaten some cheddar cheese between meals. Also, I haven’t sat on toilet since Saturday. Fingers crossed, today is the day!

Had to take my son to the airport yesterday morning. Woke up this morning and my lower back is totally ganked up. Was supposed to do legs, but went for a walk instead. I added back carbs 2 days ago, and my weight has stayed at 201. While I can’t eat much when I do eat, I’m getting really hungry between meals and thought it would help add some calories. Also, as I want to work down to a legitimate 195 and try to stay there. If I got there on the keto, I would have to get lower than that to account for the water rebound. I’m not eating a lot of carbs still, but I’m not actively avoiding them either.
