Too Busy to Blog! on September 3, 2010 4:21 am
SO you could think of it as a good thing or a bad thing that I just don't seem to have enough time to get on here and blog it out. I bet this is what happens w/ alot of WLS patients. We have out surgery and start living our lives!!!! THAT'S A GREAT THING!!!
So being so busy is not all exercising and counting protein grams everyday, well not for me at least. I've got a new job, after not working for almost a whole year. Its at a daycare. I have many years of experience working in childcare and I do Love it (most of the time) this one is a little different because its in a Catholic church and although I had worked in a Lutheran Daycare before this new place seems MUCH more strict. They have a ton of rules about cell phones and not socializing w/ other teachers, confidentiality and many more. Not that its a bad thing, I've had all those rules at other daycare BUT this one take it to another level altogether! But the staff is cool and we do get around some of the rules. Like sneaking peeks at my phone while the kids are napping ;-p I'm pretty sure it will work out there and for around these parts, it pays THE BEST by far compared to other centers.
I do however have some issues w/ my surgery :-( I'm loosing gobbs and gobbs of weight, but I am terrible at taking my vitamins and calcium everyday and I know I'm not getting enough protein! I use an app on my phone to track all that stuff, its really cool w/ a barcode scanner and all the info comes up plus you can change the serving size to the amount you ate, down to like 1/8 of a serving in alot of foods! but the thing is, I JUST DON'T EAT! I don't want it! I do eat but almost nothing and believe me if I'm only putting food in my mouth twice daily its not going to be a protein shake, that's for sure! I'll eat a Greek yogurt or some meat, or cheese. Its not like I eat a lot of JUNK or anything but 1 serving (or less sometimes) of these thing, even though they are good sources of protein, just isn't giving me what I should have.
As for exercising, I wasn't doing a whole lot up until I started working. Here we can (or I should say- HAVE TO) take the 1 year olds out for a stroller walk everyday, rain or shine (or however the postal service moto goes) Now, for me, this is the best time of the day! These kids LOVE their rides. And if its not too hot outside I'll walk them sometimes 2X a day and about 20 min or so each time. Now that's not a ton of exercise but pushing a stroller built for 4, filled with Four 9-14 month olds feels like a work out to me! And compared to just doing some house work and maybe taking the dog for a little walk each day seem like a difference!
Well gotta get ready to head back to work (I'm actually running a lil late but wanted to blog a lil bit) Oh and as for my weight, I'm 88 lbs down for my surgery weight! something like 103lbs for my HW! THAT IN JUST 4 MONTHS (actually under 4 months, it will be 4 mo. on the 17th!) And old bag of clothes fit that used to not fit me anymore AND a could of clothes that fit me a few months ago are now swimming on me!
Well I gotta run, my jobs too new to be late this soon! Hope to write more soon!!

1 month out and on vacation to Mexico! on June 27, 2010 3:44 pm
So I got here in Mexico a week ago today and its been sort of a struggle. I came here with my sister in law and her kids along with my mother in Law, leaving my poor husband to fend or himself. We Skype everyday and so far his cooking hasn't killed him or burned down the house so I assume he'll make it just one more week.
As for me - I've been exercising  and downing the water like crazy!!! I walk down this hill by our house every morning but once. And let me tell you about this hill.. its the kinda kill that if your car is not up to par (which alot of them aren't over here) or your not driving fast enough your liable to start rolling back down! So I practically run down this hill then walk a good mile or so then start heading back toward that horrendous hill!!!! I pant my way up it and thankfully our house is right at the top.
Most days we go to the beach and swim. That seems to be quite a work out jumping in and out, fighting the waves. And sometimes when I am just bored or missing my man I go down to the water and just take a nice long walk. I walk until it feels almost impossible to walk in that sand any longer, knowing that I can't just quit, i have to walk back. then turn around and slowly walk back.
As for food it has been rough. I've been going to Mexico once or twice each year, I know all the good taco places and when and where to find the good torta trucks parked for the workers that will be going on break. This part is hell!!! I've tried some cheese in a tortilla and if I am very careful it doesn't come back up. As for anything else I can not keep it down. I live off my flavorless protein powder in my instant oatmeal's I brought, along with some peanuts, almonds, and the 4 boxed of protein bars I brought with me. There's this taco here that we can not find anywhere else and I tried it I was full less than half way through and just ended up throwing up what I did get down. So yesterday I went a head and bought 3 of those bad boys, took em to my bedroom and did the ole anorexic chew and spit technique. I know its bad but I was throwing up everything anyways. I was tired of puking my guts out I might as well enjoys my favorite tacos while I'm here, at least this one time.
I haven't weighed myself this whole trip, I'm hoping for 30 lbs although I know that would be unrealistic. I'm just hoping since I'm getting so much exercise and also the whole throwing up thing. Well wish me luck!!!! If I did loose 30 that would be 80 lbs since my highest weight 2 months pre op!!!!

Someone Hide This Damn Scale!!! on June 9, 2010 12:19 pm
I need to get off this damn scale already!! I guess its kind of pushing me a little too because I wana see it go down but I can’t leave it alone!!! I have a glass Weight Watchers Scale and I just want to throw it on the drive way and smash it LOL
I guess a secondary addiction of the scale is better than an alcohol or drug addiction!!!!
Maybe its just time for me to go get a job and get out of the house and off the scale.
Wish me luck with this new addiction.
