The last two weeks have been extremely busy. I spent most of it out of town for a family wedding. The wedding was beautiful, if somewhat chilly. It was great seeing family I hadn't seen in a while. My aunt insisted that a year or so after surgery, I come back for a makeover. One of my cousins is in school right now to be an esthetician. She did our makeup and hair for the wedding and was fabulous at it.
I was very happy to see that after being out of town for so long and eating out a lot that my weight only went up about one pound. That being said, my appointment with the surgeon is on Tuesday, only two days away!! So I am being super strict with what I eat trying to get it off. I am contemplating doing something tomorrow to ensure I lose some more weight. But it isn't healthy... taking a laxative.
I know! Not even remotely close to any reason why I should take a laxative. Obviously they are not recommended for weight loss. I've never used one before for such purposes, but I feel like I am down to the wire and I need to at least lose two pounds by Tuesday to show that I am on track. I certainly don't want to show a gain, it might jeopardize my chances of getting insurance approval.
Crazily enough, this was recommended by my aunt and her boyfriend. They said I should do a colon cleanse (like prep before a colonoscopy, not just a cleanse) because the last time he did one he lost 7 pounds. Now, that might be a little extreme, but I may have to take smaller measures.
