Finally an update....

Feb 10, 2009

2/10/09 - I am finally doing an update.  I have slacked from this site for so long.  As of today, I am down 99 lbs and decided to take a couple of pictures and also check my measurements.  I will post the measurements below after I finish updating. 

I have been struggling badly with my eating.  I have not been able to keep food down and I finally called the doc again a few weeks ago and they figure I am going through ketosis.  I had only been able to keep a handful of different kinds of foods down and since working on jacking up my protein some as per docs orders, I have been very slowly introducing new foods into my diet again.  Things are going slow with it, but I am not bringing the food back up anymore.  But I have only been able to introduce a few more foods than what I was eating back into my diet so far.  Through the last 3 months I have struggled with whether this was the right thing that I did or not, but now being down 99 lbs, I guess it was the right thing to do.  It is extremely frustrating not being able to eat a variety of foods though and I should be able to just fine.  So I have a long ways to go yet before that will happen most likely.  It hasnt helped that since I was majorly sick the last week with a combination of the flu and strep throat to work on getting other foods incorporated in.  But I am slowly working on it.  I also have slacked on my exercising due to being sick as well and am waiting for my body to become a bit stronger and better yet before I jump right back into it, as I am not completely 100% yet from being sick, but getting there.  Since my surgery, I have had only ONE dumping episode and OMG, I never want to go through that again.  I thought for sure I was going to die. This was about 3  weeks ago and it was no fun.  I think I had every side effect possible according to my book when I went through my dumping episode.  I was so thankful I was at home when my dumping episode came on.  I would really hate to be out somewhere and have it happen.  So other than all that, I have just been living life as best I can and slowly watching the weight come off.  I am still a bit depressed that even with the drastic measurements I am about to post, I have not been able to go out on any shopping sprees yet I believe I am about at the point though where I might be able to do it soon!!!  So my gift cards I got at Christmas will come in handy soon!!
