Hello!

Well I finally spent money on new clothes after 90lbs.  My sister, mom, and two nieces (14 and 9) went with me.  We went to Penney's they were having a great sale and my sister is like the bargain queen.  So.....for $130 I got 9 pants/shorts/capris, 9 shirts 2 bras, and 3 panties.  WOW!

I have had some more difficult days, I had 4 days were food in general made me gag just to put it in my mouth.  I was hungry and wanted to eat, I was so frustrated I was in tears.  I even went to dinner with my parents and ordered prime rib, figuring the HOT horse raddish would fix my taste buds.  Nope!  In fact it smelled like wet dog and the horse raddish just tasted bitter, so I took it all home to my husband....who by the way has STILL NOT commented on the weight loss.

But I'm feeling good, still working out with a personal trainer and have so much more energy.

The new clothes helped.  Everything I had was so baggy I didn't really feel ththat good about myself, but now, with clothes that fit I really see a difference.  AND I am getting lots of compliments which helps.

I have even been told I need to stop now, lol, nope, I have 60 more lbs to go....at least.

see you next time
T

Heck I am very excited.  Not that my husband has noticed or said anything...and this bothers me....but I feel great.  I have had so many people tell me how good I look.  

Even had a couple of guys flirt with me, wow, thats never happened before.

Well the road has not been easy.  Some days I have to force myself to eat.  Others I still want 'crap' food.  But I haven't gotten sick in a few weeks so I am feeling good.

I am eating almost everything, salad still does not sit well.  Bread....very small bites and then only about 3 bites or it hurts.

I am working out again and hopefully can stay on track with this.

I will post pics soon.

bye for now!

Well I have to ask was it worth it?????

Things are still iffyy sometimes, something will agree today and then tomorrow make me feel yukkie.

However, when I get on the scales boy I would say yes.

But if I am hunched over throwing up...hmm....yes, I would have to think about that question a little longer.

Pretty much I can eat what I want, I stay away from high fat foods and sugars.  Have I had any of those?  YES.  Chips, very few, they leave a horrible after taste now.  Hot dogs, yes, but.....I get a little queasy.  Ice cream, YES, lol, 2 bites of a wendy frosty, felt ok but knew that I could not take any more.

I am tired of chicken, beef doesn't always agree and what I REALLY WANT IS A SALAD!  LOL, however lettuce still makes me sick.

I found some morning star veggie delites for a change in breakfast...I am soooo tired of eggs.  Spinach and cheese, lots of spinach and actually were very tasty.  3 g of protien per 'delite' and I had 2.

Also, the prodiet lemonade stuff that Dr Felix gives out tastes good when mixed with crystal light  so I am now much closer to 60 g of protien each day.

Was it worth it......well each person has to decide for themselves but for me I think so.  No more diabetes and working on getting rid of the cpap.  Feel so much better, no bouts of depression or moodieness.

Now....I just need money to pay my portion after the insurance paid!  LOL

Till next time!

As time goes on the lbs come off, yipeee!!!!!!!!!!

Feeling good, somedays are real good others are ok.  Sometimes I forget and eat to fast but all in all everything is going good.

I need to remember to take pics so I remember what I looked like before the weight loss.

Oh ya, saw my PCP and my A1C for diabetes came back and its fine, another yippeeee!!!!!!!!!   I think they said 5.1.  However my good cholesteral is very low so.....I will be hitting the gym finally on Monday hopefully that will help.

Till next time.....

Well I haven't blogged in a while....but everything seems to be going along just fine.  Still some small problems with eating but at least food is beginning to taste like food without a lot of yukkie after taste.

I posted some new pics that were taking 4 weeks after surgery.

I have a problem tho, I am getting on the scale everyday, and it hasnt moved in a week. oh my gosh, is it all done?  Is this it???? I still have so much more to lose.

Ok Tina get a grip and stay off the scale, lol.

later

Well after some ups and downs, I have had more ups than downs the last few days.

I have found that milk does not bother me so I am drinking carnation instant breakfast to get more protien.  I am also able to eat a little more at times this is also helping me get more protien.

I feel really good and my incision is almost healed.  Can't wait to get back to my personal trainer.....just a few weeks away.

ok, well, I think I'm done with the pity party....LOL

Feeling better, more energy.  Actually took my dog on a walk to the park.  I was surprised on how LESS tired I was than before I had surgery.  LOL

Food....well I'm just making it spicy, if its spicy I can taste it.  Not getting as many air bubbles so hopefully I am learning how to eat better.

Well, till next time.

Well, I have had the 'blahs' now for a couple of days.

Food don't taste good, tired of eating the same old things, wondering what the hell I did.

I have no energy so I don't get much done at home.  What little I walk wears me out.  Maybe the 'after surgery depression' has set in.

Is it to late to reverse the surgery, I think I made a mistake!

Ok, Ok, yes I like the melting away of fat but.......

Well, this morning along with my diarrhea I had bright red blood in the toilet and on the toilet paper so I called the doctor.

He had me go to Clovis Community for a blood test.  All in all it was an ok trip.  My blood count was fine and the ER (female) doctor wanted to do a rectal exam which I declined.  If my blood count was ok then I wasnt bleeding internally and it is probably just a hemmoroid.

So, I was very tired when we got home, I guess the worry wore me out.  But everything is ok.

Hopefully no more blood but lots more melting fat.

It seems the fat is just melting off......that's a good thing but makes me worry about all the skin that may be left.  Oh well thats another bridge to cross.

Well I have developed diarrhea and nausa, the dr's office is not sure why.  They wanted to do a test but I asked if we could wait and I could try to determine if it is something I am eating.

The nausea is first thing in the morning and to the point where I don't want to eat........hmmm, I guess I'll track this a few days.

Other than that, they pulled the g-tube yesterday and it was not supposed to hurt, however, it was stuck so.....you got it.....it hurt like &*%%.  I cried.  But it is out now and that alone feels better.

Till next time.........I'm melting.......I'm melting........yippee!!!!
