9 Weeks Post Op
Aug 26, 2009
Things have been going slow and steady. I am down 58 pounds as of today. Which is only 21 pounds difference from my 4 weeks weight. I am not complaining though. My body is shifting around so much that the same pair of pants rarley fit the same twice. I have gone from a 26/28 to a 18/20. 18 if it has the 1% spandex in it. My co-workers call me skinny minny. The funny thing about that is that I know that I have lost a large amount of weight in a short period of time but I am not blind to the fact that I weigh 245 lbs and even though I am almost 5'8, that still does not make me skinny. I wonder what they will call me when I really am skinny? I have still shyed away from buying too many new clothes because like I said, things do not fit for very long. And I still can not get myself to buy sizes that are too much smaller than the ones I am in now because I feel like I will jinx it. As far as food goes, I am doing pretty good. My doc let me skip a couple of steps in my. "food recovery" process but I still have issues with lots of food. I can not nor do I think that I will every be able to eat a scrambled egg! My pouch seems to be very texture sensitive. It seems it would like all my food to be runny. UGH! But little by little I have been able to get more meats in my diet. I still have another 3 weeks left of protein supplements and those 3 weeks just can not go fast enough. I have tried just about every protein supp there is and still can not tolerate the taste of any of them. Bottom line is I have had 5 kids and all the supplements smell like baby formula no matter how many other flavors are in there and basically that is what a protien supp is. GAG!!!!!!!Well I must go for now. My best friend has decided to have a small reunion party for a bunch of us from high school. People that I have not seen since about a year before my surgery. I have a mini goal to be down another 20 lbs by then and it is 30 days away. I will keep my fingers crossed.
