no weight loss this week
on June 22, 2007 4:15 am

My weightloss has stopped for now.  I have lost between 16-20 lbs depending on the scale. I will see Dr Heydari on 7/3 for a accurate #. I have been able to eat a soft diet. Sorry normally I follow the plan to a "T" but I just can't do the puree again. Slowly adding a new food a day and it seems to be going pretty good. I did discover one thing, I can't throw up! I had to take a medication that just did not agree with my pouch and I could not get that sucker to come back up, it was misery for 2 hours or more and then I tried the trick of drinking hot liquids to break it down finally it worked. 
My new favorite is lowfat cottage cheese. I eat about 1 1/4 cups perday. Plain with a little pepper. It totally grosses out my girls .LOL I eat about 800 calories per day and I get about 60-70 gms of protein per day. I seem to be on track with what the nutritionist guidelines are. Although last night I did have 4 ritz crackers. I must not fall into this trap again. 
Ok I aint perfect,  matter of a fact far from it. My down fall is COFFEE!!! Not anything fancy just a good cup of hills brothers and about 2 oz half and half. (My cup is about 10 oz) Not 1 cup or even 2 more like 3-4 cups per day. I know, I know I am not suppose to have caffeine. I just can't help myself. I got to have it. 
I start work on Monday and I am nervous, being away for 5 weeks has made me think, Do I really want to go back? or do I want to take the summer off and look for something in the fall? My health really started to decline and I contribute it to the work environment. My BP was high and I had ulcers, neck and back problems. Its not that its a hard job, I'm a receptionist/ Office supervisor and that is the part that is stressful. I see things that others do and not get repreanded for but others get talked to for the samething. And the GOSSIP! OMG! If I could go to work and just work, I would probably like what I do. Noone is truely happy there but the owners don't care.  Nothing will change. 
My dream job would be to work at the college. I love education and can't wait to start taking more classes. I recieved my certificate for Medical transcription and medical office on May 12 and now I think I would like to do more of the Business aspect of office work maybe even Legal work. I'm still young and I can change my mind. I have realized I love to learn.

Eating a little more
on June 16, 2007 8:38 am
Well I am hungry and the puree foods are just not lasting very long. So this morning I added a softly scrambled egg. Oh how wonderful I ate about 3/4 of it and it was like heaven. 
I feel good today i even went for a short walk to my friends house. She is out of town and I just needed to check on the house. It felt good to be out early and to hear the birds and cicadas singing.
I am going to lounge by the pool today with hubby and just get a little sun on my very white body.
