7weeks 6days post-op
on May 25, 2008 6:20 pm
So as of today I've lost 41lbs.  I'm happy about it, BUT it sucks not seeing the scale numbers move. I've been -41lbs since about Tuesday (today is Sunday)  I think I know what my problems is, I'm not eating enough.

I'm having a hard time with guilt. I feel so guilty when I eat.  I'm not satisfied when I do have something, and because of the guilt I just nibble. I know I know I have "rules" to eating. But I can't do it right now. I need to get over the damn guilt.

I need to start keeping a food journal and going to a calorie count website.  I know I will get past this, in time.

Ok, I have a bit of a gripe.  I love OH, but sometimes when I post, I just want to post and not get "preached" to.  Do you ever feel that way?  Also, because it's type, people sometimes don't understand your post the way you meant it.  I know alot of people are just trying to help, but sometimes I feel like the RNY nazi's are out to get me.  I know it's the net. I know people are just trying to help, but I thought I'd throw it out there because I know others feel the same, but just don't want to say it. And sometimes when I read the "RNY nazi" like comments to they sometimes give me a swift kick in the booty.

I don't really have much to talk about.  Kmart was having a memorial day sale and they had a coupon in their newspaper insert for an extra 20% off one item when spending over $75. You could use it today between 5pm-10pm and they have another that you can use Monday morning from open till like 10am.  So I went and bought the kids a 3 1/2' deep above ground pool for the summer and a 10person tent that was AWESOME! Guess it's time to get a camping trip together!

5weeks 4days post-op
on May 9, 2008 4:47 pm
Today I went to my 6week post-op appt. Everything went well, I weighed in at 202lbs. So that is -32lbs since surgery (39days ago), not too shabby.  I've been at 202 since Tuesday though, so that kinda sucks. 

Dr. said I'm ok to hit the gym, which I plan on doing Monday.  I really need to start toning the mush. I don't want to look like I've melted.  Well I want to give it a shot to lessen the mush as much as I can. 

I asked about eating salad/raw veggies today. Dr. says sometimes the "raw" stuff doesn't agree with new RNY patients. He suggests I eat steamed veggies. That's a bummer cause I really want salad. I did have a breadless sandwich yesterday at my mothers. I got a piece of romaine lettuce, put a bit of light mayo and some mustard on the lettuce. I put in a piece of lunch meat and a bit of cheese and 2 little slices of tomatoes and rolled it up like a taco. It actually went down pretty well.  So I dunno.

I asked about calorie intake. I wasn't sure if there was an amt. he wants me to shoot for. He said 1200 is good. I was shocked. I am lucky if I get 500 calories in a day right now.  He said the water/liquids, protein (60-80g), and vitamins are most important. He said that I should increase my exercise now from the 1mile I walk a day, to see the weight loss keep going. 

I go back to work on Monday, after having 6 weeks off. IT SUCKS! I don't want to go back, but Mama has to help Daddy bring home the bacon.  Bummer. Why can't I win the lottery!

This surgery is still Surreal.  I have lost 31lbs, and I think everyday that this is it. This is all I'm gonna lose.  Why am I so paranoid?  I think it is because my whole life I've progressively gone up in weight and NEVER down. So just seems too good to be true. 

Until next time!
