Day 13

Jul 28, 2010

It is ironic that this is Day 13 and I finally had a bad day.  On one hand I was excited because it let me know that yes I did have the surgery and that there are rules.  That might sound crazy but I was experiencing anxiety because there has been no symptoms that were explained over and over and as I read the postings I was really not having issues like other.  

Today I was in a hurry, I have set up a daily ritual to take my vitamins, excersise and eat.  This morning I had an appointment and had to drop my son off at his appointment all before 9:00.  So I decided take my vitamins, walk then pack my breakfast and take it with me.  Normal enough.  As I was eating my breakfast I fell back in the habit of eating on the go.  Low and behold I ate my breakfast too fast and it overloaded my pouch and came up. As I prayed to God to relieve me from the discomfort my mind say... Okay Imelda you wanted to know if you actually had the surgery now you know.  After dumping I felt relief from the discomfort but I also felt relief in knowing that the surgery worked.

Lessons Learned: I need to balance myself and take it slow. Don't fall into old habits as this is what led me to needing the surgery in the first place, and stop doubt and just be patient.

On the flipside the rest of the day and meals went well. I was able to walk around the mall and still do my evening three lap.  So I still feel blessed, I still feel optimistic and excited and I this was still the best decision that I have made. 

Oh and for those of you who are following, when you are able to eat eggs.  If they are boiled don't eat the yolk only eat the white on the soft diet... the yolk will make you pray for death.

My weight loss is current at 26 lbs so far.
