Abi's weightloss diary - post jaw surgery

[abz]

well that's no good jim!! why is it that we have to stop drinking coffee in any case?

i have taken half of one of my big cocodamols so my head is feeling much better, but also a wee bit floaty. not sure whether that's the painkillers or the tiredness.

i'm also frozen, but surely it can't be ketosis cold yet?? i do sit under the air con so when that truly hits i'm going to FREEZE!!

It''s because your body will burn caffeine as energy before it burns fat abz love.

 

[abz]

really? well that sucks. no wonder i'm fat

 

[Jim]

ah, you drink a lot of caffeine then abz?

 

[BREN]

Thanks for the reminder Jim I have been going between caf and decaf, so think it's strictly decaf unless I catch up with friends at a coffee shop.

i do indeed jim, or i did.

today, i feel awful. i have a severely dodgy tummy and have been running to the loo every 20 minutes or so this morning. still, i have made it to work. they know about my dietary change so didn't feel i could ring in. not convinced that it's related, but didn't realise how bad it was until AFTER a massive breakfast of bacon, eggs and mushrooms, so today is going to be FUN!! sorry for the tmi

Hi bren :wavey:

How odd abz, I had the other problem on induction and had to take some flax seed.

 

[abz]

well things seem to have settled somewhat,, but then i haven't really eaten since this morning. i didn't dare. so i'm now snacking on some bits of feta and some bits of pepper. we'll see how we go

 

[clarri]

Oh Abz
I feel for you. I remember it well on South Beach. The headaches are baad. Although I havent drunk coffee for years only the odd decaf due to the fact that I get really jittery. I can handle tea caffeine though oddly.
Would you not drink decaff coffee? Might give you a bit of a placebo effect??

oh, i forgot to write on here, ha. i pootled out to tesco and got myself some decaff filter coffee... i didn't even know that existed. i don't mind if it doesn't wake me up, i've just really wanted a cup of coffee!! and this is me, who has always thought that if you don't like the caffeine, then why bother with the coffee... well drinking it is such a habit that i need some again, ha. but i'm so sleeeepy. i slept well last night though so tis strange. at least my tummy seems to be being a bit better. i've nibbled on some peppers and feta which is what i had with me so we'll see how i do on that...
