So with August some new things have come about.

YUCK!!!!

Trying to figure out when the hell i'm full.. before it gets to the "Very Uncomfortable" Stage.

A gal at work told me, she's had to make herself sick, to get relief.. I was in horror.. 

How the hell can i make myself puke?  I've NEVER EVER did it on purpose & why the hell would i?

Low and behold.. two days later after eating some steak & potatoes.. I HAD to do it...

I thought.. what the hell?? am i doing here?  But i tell u what, it was a relief once it was done.. It was gross.. and not fun.. but at least i wasnt in major pain.  So.. i can say i've only had to make myself do that a few more times, but i'm being as careful as i possibly can, to ensure that I dont have to make myself do that.. In my mind, it's not very much different from bulemia.. ACK..

The difference, is that there is little to no stomach acid, which makes it a LITTLE better. * Not much.  I've had to use a Pen.. how sick.. but necessary.

I've been lucky and havent had issues with any foods (except mushrooms) and that was early on, i'm not brave enough to try.

But i do  chicken, steak, pork .. fish & get my protein in..

Getting all my liquids in is a struggle, but with time i'm sure i can get it goin.  I've been doing my walking which has added to my success, i would love to get some weights added to the routine.

YAY for feeling better & a better life style!

Keep RoLLing Y'all!

The days are getting easier.. WHEW!

So i'm at my mom's today & she says "Wow.. your face is getting thinner".. my response was "Yeah right"  .. I figure she's my mom & giving me a pep talk.  To me it looks the same as it did when I got surgery last month.

The only way i can tell is if there is a photo.. so i remember i have a webcam, that i never use, and decided to take a shot...and I'll be damned.. My face is getting thinner~~~ YAY!!!

I swear i didnt even suck in my cheeks.. tempting as it always is. 

So crack boom bang... i'm starting to deflate!!!

It's a very happy day!

XOXOXO to all!

So 28lbs now & it's getting easier.  My only issue is these shakes are getting to be too sweet...

I've ordered the Unjury unflavored & am excited to see what i can add that too.

With the summer here, i'm sooo ready and want to eat a salad with tomatoes...But i've gotta wait.. darn it!

I know it will be well worth it!

Have a wonderful day & keep up the good work all!

It's June 18th & Surgery was June 6th...and i'm 20lbs down... YAY

My sister said she can see how my face doesnt look as puffy. I'm happy bout that!

My side still has a little bit of pain, and a few days ago I got a rash on each one of my incision areas, looks like the tape they used to hold the incision closed was the culprit from the marks.  They itch like a son of a gun.. but i'll make it.

I cant wait to see what next month holds... july 18th..normally we want time to stand still.. but i'm anxious for the changes that life holds.

I'm keeping to my walking, drinking water & protein shakes. 

Whey protien i found is soo much better for me, taste wise.



This is a wonderful journey!

Surgery went very well...i was in Wed & let go Friday before noon.  

I was a little disturbed because i had so many insulin shots... AAAH!  Never had em, & dont want em again.

The staff was great, the pre-op people were wonderful.  My nurse warned me that the shot of Heprin in my leg to ward against blood clots was gonna sting like a biaach.. & whoah mamma, she wasnt kidding!

The drain is icky.. but that will be out soon enough.  For some reason i feel like there's lots of air in my bowels just floating around.. i'm amazed when i'm able to get it out of my system.  At this point it's just discomfort.

I'm taking my vitamins, chewable calcium and protein shakes... these shakes are gonna be the death of me..but i'll force em down.  The carnation ones arent so bad.. but i cant seem to get the taste ouf ot my mouth.  i figure that anything is better that the stuff i had to take pre surgery.. Golytly or whatever that gallon of stuff was i was supposed to take to clear out my system.

Whooo mamma....they should use that on prisoners as torture... I'm such a flippen wuss, i know.  If i was on a gameshow like survivor.. i'd lose i tell ya.  There's no way i was able to do even half... I called the nurse & she said the alternative was an enema..  I didnt like it.. but at least it didnt gag me.  :)  

I prepared with plenty of Vaseline, & a diaper rash cream called butt paste, just in case my booty got raw from all of the expulsion. OUCHY...but it wasnt that bad. 

I found that the cream soup is pretty well recieved.  However, I was soo mad after watching the Sopranos last night.. Do you know how many times they show those fat Bastids eating???!!! I swear it was over 20.  It's like.. stop showing food ya jerks.. it got me to craving something.. so i substituted with jello..

My liquid ibuprofen is keeping the discomfort to a minimum. I'm walking three times a day and find that it's really helped stregnthen me. I'm thankful for the nice weather and hope it keeps up.

Well i'm off to start my protien for the day.. WEeeeeEeeeeEE


Cheers to all!
