6 week check up
Mar 22, 2010
Well today is suppose to be a happy day but for what ever reason since I left the doctor's office
I have been so sad. I think I am beating myself up mentally. lol
My doctor wasnt impressed with the fact that i have only lost 25lbs since surgery. I felt like a
three year old being chastized for sticking my hand in the cookie jar (which I havent!!). My down fall however
is not being consistant w/ exercise so I know this is my own fault.
He gave me the lecture about cardio and getting my heart rate up...blah blah!! Then he back doors that by saying he isnt too concerned w/ the weight loss that he really just wants me to work on increasing the exercise and focus on getting heart rate up. THANKS NOW THAT YOU RUINED MY DAY AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE CRAP!!! I havent been taking my fluid pills since surgery so i have had some swelling..he said i can take them every other day or so. At least he noted that I probably have 3-4 lbs of fluid on my legs.
So that was my wonderful visit with Dr Rutledge today. Hope everyone had a better day than i did!!

5 WEEKS POST OP
Mar 15, 2010
Today makes 5 weeks since my surgery and I am so happy I didn't talk myself out of doing it!!
I had virtually no problems at first...but now just like a baby...my stomach is rather fussy about what
i send down there. I use to wonder how on earth I would ever be able to "eat" my protein instead of
drinking so much of it. But that too is easier now. My sample of birthday cake came today from About Time
and I'm going to try it in the morning...I cant wait!!
I have to go to the doctor next Monday for my 6 week check up. I have no idea why i feel like he isn't going to be happy with my loss...but I am excited that i have lost 22lbs. That hasn't happened in...shit i don't remember how longago!!
I'm going to Texas Thurs to see THE MAN...this is the first time he has seen me since surgery. I am so excited tosee his response. I think of crazy stuff like...when he puts his arms around me..will he notice how much easier itis or that there is less of me??! I hope he is just as excited about me losing weight now that it is finally happening.I want to have sex without feeling like I'm going into cardiac arrest...or that my tits will surely suffocate me if i lay on my back...(TMI I KNOW) but these are the things i think about.
Hope you all have a great week!!
big hugs and wet kisses

ONE MONTH ALREADY!!
Mar 08, 2010
I cant believe today makes one month since I had surgery! Wow..I can honestly say I have no regrets and I hope this continues to be an amazing journey. I have lost 20 lbs and I don't feel like I am deprived or struggled to do it.
I just do what I am suppose to. I eat what and when I'm suppose to and I'm satisfied. I drink my fluids and if i haven't ate enough to get my protein i make sure to drink my protein shake to get it all in. I have to admit the hardest thing for me has been the waiting to drink 30 mins before and after a meal.
I hope everyone else is doing well and staying on track! Until next month...HUGS N KISSES
