So this morning, the first thing I did when I got up was call my dentist. They couldn't get me in until 12:30pm, so I just went to work until then. Since my tooth was hurting and it was hard to eat I was trying to find soft things that I didn't have to really chew a lot to eat. I ate a nutrigrain bar for breakfast, which was really hard because it was kind of dry and hard to swallow. Then when I got to work and until it was time for my appt. I snacked on some red grapes. I was really hungry and those were a lot easier to eat. I probably ate about 20 grapes. At my appt. with my dentist he said I would need a root canal and got me set up for an appt. with another doctor tomorrow and gave me more pain meds. because I took my last pain pill this morning. I have never taken so many pain pills in my life, that's how bad the pain is. He also gave me a prescription for a different antibiotic since the one I was taking wasn't doing anything. So as I was waiting for my prescription to be filled at Walgreen's I walked around looking for something to eat for lunch. I ended up getting 2 string cheeses and a Zone Cookie Dough Bar. I picked that Zone one because it was squishy, it wasn't like a hard, granola bar consistency so I knew it'd be easier to eat. I drank a 40 oz. bottle of water up to this point. I also was a little bit bad and stopped at Dairy Queen and got a small hot fudge and caramel sundae, oops. For dinner I made white cheddar pasta with sauteed mushrooms. Yum! The pasta isn't so healthy but I love mushrooms and they were sooo good! I drank another 40 oz. before bed. And had Skinny Cow Dark Chocolate Dreamy Clusters for dessert.
I weighed 241.8 this morning, up .4 lbs from yesterday. Also I'm 2 weeks into my weight loss journey and I have gained .4lbs since I've started. This whole tooth/jaw pain is just killing me with my weight loss. I'm disappointed, but I know I can do it. I'm hoping all the pain will be gone and done with this week and I can get back to it. It's just so frustrating. I'm looking at my weights from the beginning and the first week I was doing really good, then the next week (when my jaw pain started) is when I started to suck. Let's just hope the root canal fixes the pain and I can get back to normal.
