Sick!!
on May 26, 2008 11:38 am
So I had my first post surgery (out of the hospital) vomiting experience last night.  It's nice to know that my tool is working, but I feel like crap today!!  I decided to eat a stuffed mushroom and for some reason I wolfed it down super fast in big chunks.  I didn't chew very well.  So, up it came.  Ehhhh.  Crab stuffed mushrooms.  Not cool.  My pouch is so sore today.  Oh well, I'm going to stick with puddings and liquids today.

My first mini goal
on May 25, 2008 10:53 pm
I hit my first mini goal today.  I broke 250 and am now 249!!  This is the lightest  I have been since being here in Washington.  I'm so excited.  It is starting to feel like I don't do anything and I keep losing weight.  It's a weird feeling.  I don't feel like I am on a "diet" anymore, so it doesn't feel like I should be losing weight and then I step on the scale and am blown away that I lost more.  My next goal is 229, so wish me luck!!!!

Surgery
on May 10, 2008 9:10 am
So I had surgery on Monday the 5th of May.  It went well but I guess I took a bit longer than normal in recovery. I felt great and got up and walked right after.  Then I fell asleep.  The next day, I walked and walked but I was starting to feel sick to my stomach.  They were wanting me to pureed chicken and beef and pork.  I tried some, but wasn't really feeling like eating.  The next day (Wed) I was even more naseus and I was supposed to go home that night.  I started throwing up and they kept me until Thursday at 2pm.  They finally got my vomiting under control and I wasn't as queezy.  Thursday night was ok.  The pain meds made my stomach upset so I was just doing tylenol.  By friday I was miserable.  I was so sick to my stomach and in pain and uncomfortable because of the miserable gas.  I was wondering wth I did to myself.  Saturday seems to be going much better and I will be going on a walk soon.  I've lost almost 10 pounds since Monday.  Crazy.

My Story

My story is a lot like most people that are looking to lose a large amount of weight.  I don't remember a lot from my childhood so I'm not sure when I got fat!  I know that 5th grade was the first time that I ever paid attention to being weighed.  It was in the gym in front of the entire class  and I weighed 150  pounds when everone else was under 100.  I was so embarrased.  It never crossed my mind that I was fat until then.  It was downhill from there.  I tried diet after diet during my early teens up until now.  When I was in high school my highest weight was 190 and I dieted down to 170.  I felt huge but in retrospect, I wasn't all that large, just a little chubby.  I still had lots of boyfriends and friends and was very outgoing.  The typical chubby funny gal.  

I married one of my high school boyfriends when we were both 19.  We're still together and will be celebrating our 11th anniversary in May.  We have a 4 year old son who is wonderful.  I love my husband, and my son more than anything!

I think that I eat mostly for comfort.  I eat when I'm bored, tired, sad, happy.  It doesn't really matter.  The only reason that I'm fat is because I LOVE sweets.  Cake, brownies, candy anything!  I'm hoping that having RNY will help me be able to control my sugar intake.  I don't want to eat poorly anymore and I'm ready to trade in this big body on a smaller one!  I'm hoping that I dump on poor food choices and am really looking forward to making better food decisions for myself and my son who learns by watching me!  Once I reached a certain point in my weight I kind of adopted a "why bother?" attitude about food choices.  I wish I could get rid of that attitude!  It just doesn't seem like it matters anymore.  I'm hoping that once I start losing after surgery I will realize that it does matter!!
