What is this? Day 40? Soo... about 6 weeks. (confession time!)
posted on 8/9/10 7:20 pm
 I haven't posted lately because I am deeply ashamed of myself.   As you know, Faithful Reader, I started the infamous "Week 2 stall" around day 9.   Up until that point, I was losing roughly 3 lbs a day.  Did I think that was going to continue forever?!?  No.   I kinda thought it would continue through week 3 or so.  Eh.  Whatever.  I didn't put the weight on in one day... so I waited.    At around day 29, I lost another three pounds.  So, at 1 month I was at a 30 pound loss.  Have I EVER lost 30 in one month???  Not without the aid of the not-so-legal-drugs of my misspent youth.  I was happy.. I should say I AM happy.  Here we are going on week 6 and the scale still really hasn't moved. 

I KNOW this is normal.  I have read 230948328943894809228476 other posts about this damn stall.  Does that keep me from FREAKING OUT?!  No.  How much of this stall is my fault?  I believe the answer is "most of it". 

I have tried just about every disgusting, fattening, greasy, deep fried food that I could get in my face.  Honestly, I am lucky to have lost any weight at all.  What is wrong with me? 

Today, I made my usual morning shake.  (a scoop of Body Fortress protein powder - 52g of protein, a couple of tsp of PB2 - about 5g of protein, 5 or so ounces of almond milk - maybe 3g of protein(?), 1/4 of a banana, a shot of SF Torani Chocolate syrup, and some ice, blended into a frosty yumminess).  I usually only get about 1/2 or so in. 

Then for lunch I decided to shovel some Stag Turkey Laredo chili in my face.  The stats on this are actually quite good.  Only 5g of fat, 9g of fiber and a whopping 20g of protein per 1/2 can serving!  Not a terrible choice.  Here's where it all goes wrong with me.  I don't eat slow.  I don't chew well enough (although this has improved a LOT).   I start out pretty well.  I have to.  My pouch hates most foods (could it be my choice of foods??  I think so!).  Most everything gets stuck.  I take a bite and wait.  If it goes down alright, then all hell breaks loose and my inner desire to be a forever fat person takes over and I just start eating like the old days.  This almost always leads to vomiting.  Today was no different.... except that it was MUCH WORSE!  I deserved every miserable moment of it.  After almost 3 hours of misery and vomiting, I decided on just liquids for the rest of the day and maybe tomorrow, too. 

I am not what I would consider to be a stupid person.  I can read.  I researched this surgery for like a year before I even spoke to my doctor.   I KNEW the changes that needed to be made.  So, today I am going to recommit (before it's too late!). 

To my credit,  I have tried most everything, but only a tiny bite of it.  I did try pizza *gasp*, but I won't have to worry about THAT entering my mind again any time soon.  That was the second most awful experience of my post WLS life.  A tiny bit of cheese and garlic from the topping was enough to make me leave the room whenever a Domino's pizza commercial comes on tv.    I tried ... I am ashamed to even admit it... french fries.   Yes... as in "the worst possible food you could ever stick in your recently post op face".   I ate like 3 or 4.    At one point I even tried to eat a BBQ cheeseburger from Wendy's!  That was the first time I experienced the (well deserved) evil.  Wait, wasn't I trying to think of things that were "to my credit"?   *sigh* 

I can not be the same person I was!  I don't even WANT to be the same person I was!  I can do this. 

Wish me luck!
