Happy Thanksgiving Day

Nov 23, 2011

Well, today is Day 22 Post Op.  I had decided that I would weigh myself every week on the same day and at the same time and under the same conditions (nekid) .  I am thinking of weighing myself once a month now.  I get too hung up on the numbers.  So, without further ado, I have now lost a total of 66 pounds from the time that I began dieting (last year this time).  Since surgery, I have lost a total of 28lbs.  Well, now that I look at it, that's pretty good.  I'm such a dodo bird.  OK, on to the rest of my story.

We (the old man and I) have been fixing up an old houseboat for us to move on to.  This entire past week, we have been able to go down to the boat and work.  I cannot wait to move on with the two dogs.  It's another of my lifetime dreams.

Today for Thanksgiving, I bought the old man a T-bone steak and shrimp (surf 'n turf).  I will get a tiny piece of the steak and a couple of shrimp off the grill (no butter, just a little olive oil).  Hopefully everything will go down well.

For the first time since surgery I vomited.  I made soft scrambled eggs.  I had exactly 4 bites and I immediately had the pain in my chest.  The pain was so bad, it made me sick.  For the entire day I kept throwing up even if I drank water, I'd throw up.  I decided not to have anything and give my poor stomach a rest.   By the next day, everything was fine.  Well, this morning, I took my vitamins and my pills and after the last pill, here comes the pain again.  Threw up again..just water.  UGH!  Now I'm afraid to drink or eat, but I must drink.  I may not be having Thanksgiving anything. 

OK, that's it for this week.  Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

Still Smiling .. Michelle
