Made it to the 50 lbs mark this week!

Mar 05, 2011

I made it to the 50 lbs mark this week.  I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be.  I guess the honey moon stage is over!  I have been having so much nausea that I am constantly on guard and not wanting to eat.  I know that I have to eat, but it is an issue.  I have lost a little hair and don't want to loose any more, so I need to get my protein in.  I have been working on the liquids thing, and think I am doing better. 

I continue having right hip pain.  I thought that loosing 50 lbs would help it, but not so far.  I have tried to walk some, but the pain is so bad that I thought I was going to have to call my husband to pick me up.  I made it, but it was such a let down.  I have lots of energy, so I do things around the house and for the family, but very little exercise. 

I saw the doctor on Thursday.  We talked about he nausea and the hip pain.  I told him I had gone to a chiropractor to get help with my hip.  He flipped out.  "They can't do anything for your hip pain!  I'll give you something for it!"  I forgot MD's and chiropractors were mortal enemies!  I had to laugh at him a little.  But he did give me some Zofran and Ultram.  I'm not really into taking pain meds, but I will use the Zofran until this stage of recovery is over.  It can't come soon enough. 

On a happier note, I got in a size 18 this week.  I was so excited.  My husband looked at my behind and told me that was the "but I fell in love with!"  I weigh about what I weighed when we got married.  So from here on down is going to be new ground for him.  I am enjoying all the compliments from my co-workes.  Nothing but good stuff.  They seem to wait for me to get there to see how much I have changed since they saw me last.  Kind of funny.  I feel good about the transformation. 

My goals for the week are:  1.Take the Ultram so I can get some walking in at least three times this week.  2. DRINK MORE WATER!!!!  3. EAT!!!
