Month 2

Aug 12, 2011

Ok.  I have been uber lazy with this blog.  Life has gotten the better of me. Wife, mother, sorority member,VSG patient.  I have been all over the place and trying to maintain life.

Is life post sleeve easy?  Um, yeah once you get past the liquid stage.  Now I am never the example of a rule follower. I didn't stay on full-liquids as long as I was supposed to. Purees--um yeah right. All I did was chew up my food in my mouth. For me, pulling out my blender and assembling the janky device to blend 2oz of meat--not worth the time.  My sleeve is a 40 and nothing ever seemed to bother it----EXCEPT EGGS!. I can't eat them or stand the smell of them any longer. I don't know why but the day I was supposed to start soft foods, I scrambled a egg and ate 1/2. On my drive to work I felt like I was going to throw up the whole way. Now the smell has me avoiding them like a plague.

I am always careful of the amount I eat.  I undereat on purpose and I have never thrown up food or felt like food was stuck.I struggled with liquids early out but around the 3rd week I could get more down.

I could complain that I haven't lost as much as I hoped by now. However, patterns in weight loss do not change. Even when I did weight watchers I did not lose the week of my monthy visitor.  Even now it is the same story. I started as a fat lightweight so my losses are not going to be as dramatic as some but on my body type (pear shaped/small boned) EVERYONE at work can tell I have lost a good amount of weight.  They act like I have lost 50+ pounds when the reality is that I am right at the 30 pound mark and fighting to get below 200.  I want wonderland real bad!
