Wednesday Weigh in Week 31

4.6 pounds lost this week!

Well this isn't much of a surprise! I mean. For someone who hasn't been able to eat much because of getting my wisdom teeth out. I have basically been living on soft foods since the 13th. As well as finding out about the allergies. So I really haven't been eating a whole lot of food. And since my mouth is still closing up, I still have some figuring out of stuff to do. I must still be eating something my body doesn't like. But between the foods I'm allergic to and the foods that the blood type diet says I shouldn't be eating, there pretty much isn't anything I can eat that I like. Um yeah. Not going to be following the blood type diet to a t. There are things I can limit and some things I might avoid. But let's be realistic. I have to be able to eat. I can't avoid all food. I will starve. Literally.

I wish I was just so naturally inclined to be able to eat anything. My gag reflex of textures is not my friend at times. I did try some zuchinni yesterday. Found out there really isn't much of a taste to it. Which makes it easy to put in things. LOL. I even got my brothers to eat some. They put it on their pb and j sandwiches that they had. Dang I miss my peanut butter sandwiches.

Time to get the boys off to swim lessons. :) The dry socket from my teeth is getting better. I went back to the dentist today and they repacked it with the clove whatever they put in it! Still aches a little but. But nowhere near what it hurt like right after the surgery. I get to go back on Friday and see if I get to have some over the weekend too. Yesterday I managed to not take any pain medication, so that was nice! Hopefully it gets to feeling a lot better soon!

Let's just have a moment of silence for...

My peanut butter.

Oh geez.

So I got my allergy test results today, and let's just say I'm screwed a little shocked! I found out that I am severely allergic to peanuts, eggs, and garlic. And moderately allergic to milk and cottage cheese.

Um hello. These are things I eat on an almost daily basis. How can I have gone this far in life and not have reactions or whatever? It means yet again another revamping of my diet. Which needed to happen, but I really wasn't expecting to be allergic to these things at all. Well ok. Truth be told, I've been slowly figuring out the peanut allergy. I knew that if I went past a certain level of peanut butter that my throat would start to close up. That one kind of makes sense.

So gone is peanut butter, milk, ice cream, frozen yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, omelets, garlic bread. And other things that I'm not thinking of at 11 at night.

I mean I had a really great talk with Dr. Ginger. I love her. She spent an hour and a half with me, and would have talked with me more if she hadn't had another patient waiting for her. She didn't try to brush me off and answered all my questions. I just left going. Ok. Whereto from here. How do I once again, eliminate all these foods that I love? It's kinda funny that the things that I need to eliminate are the ones that I did earlier in the year when I was doing gluten free, sugar, free, yeast free, and dairy free. I have to admit, the eggs really surprised me. And the garlic.

We also talked a little bit about eating for your blood type. I'm pretty sure that my blood type is O. I mean I haven't checked and I don't really know how to, but that's what I seem to remember hearing a long time ago. This made total sense to me. O blood type people are supposed to avoid wheat. Which gave me the total Aha moment that I needed. I knew that gluten or wheat or bread or whatever you want to call it never sat well with me. It's no wonder that I felt so much greater when I wasn't eating it. It reacts to my blood weirdly. I'm not allergic to it. But I shouldn't be eating it either. So that's another thing still staying off the list. Now other grains I can have. Just not the wheat.

So that's where I am at. And in about 12 hours I will just be coming too from having my wisdom teeth taken out. Apparently this is the year that I will be taking care of more body issues than I thought. From teeth to allergies, I guess I really am finishing what I start.

Whether it was in the original plan or not :0)
