Well, I walked somewhere between 3 and 4 miles today! Yay Me! Everything is finally feeling good. I don't have my food addiction "withdraws" anymore. I still feel a little hungry, but it doesn't bother me to sit with others while they eat. I am getting more protein in, not quite 90 grams, but closer. Today and yesterday I finally got in a little more than 60g, so I feel good about that.

Well, I didn't "officially" walk today, but I did walk around Target for a little over an hour. We then went to Cracker Barrel where I ate soup(it was a shame I had to waste the noodles and beef),  but it was so yummy. Then went to walk around Walmart for a little over an hour. I think all of that should count as exercise, right?I just took my happy pill. I have been opening the capsule and mixing it with a little something in a spoon, but I thought I would try to swallow the pill. Bad idea. It now feels like it is stuck halfway down. I have tried walking around, and swallowing some orange juice and more water. Nothing seems to be working. I hope it dissolves soon

10:28 am= Well, I weighed this morning for the first time since Friday. I have lost 1 more pound. At first I was a little upset that it was so little, but then I started thinking about the way I look in the mirror. I can see and feel my belly and butt have gotten smaller. I think I am going to go buy a measure tape so I can keep track of inches lost. My freshly washed and dried blue jeans are looser. So things are still happening, just not on the scale right now. I plan to go walk again today, hopefully my stomach won't bother me as much today. We will see.

Well, I went to see family and friends this weekend. It is harder than I thought it would be to be around others while they are eating. I am having problems with "wanting" the foods they are eating. I must confess this is making me a little down in the dumps. My mom told me I should play "little mind games" with myself(she had RNY in 1999) to help with that, but NOW I know what she means.

I walked 2 miles today.  It felt really good, except my stomach started burning some. But that wasn't that bad. When I got back home, I realized I felt like I was starving. My stomach felt like it was trying to eat itself. Then I had a hard time not scarfing my soup down(still on liquids). 

I haven't weighed all weekend. I will see tomorrow morning if there has been any change. 

HI. Today I have felt really good. No pain, just a little tugging and numb sensation on the surface of half of my belly. Doc said this is from the nerves being cut and it will go away within 6 months. it is a little irritating and sensitive when my shirt rubs on it. My belly is still swollen. I have been really enjoying reading everyones stories and the discussion boards. I am starting to be addicted to this site :) Speaking of addictions...a friend of mine told me today that she has noticed that I have been easily irritated this week. I know my dog is really getting on my nerves. She asked if I thought it could be like withdraw symptoms from my food addiction. HMMM.....I never thought about that, but it makes since. I think I will post on the discussion board about this. very interesting........
