Here I am! 6 weeks post op and it's getting better. I have to start my exercise routine. I got sooo sick couple weeks ago and it was horrible. I had bronchrites and ugh I couldn't even talk I would cough and cough....
I was walking faithfully before that. Broke the cycle. Now I am going back to walking, bike, turbo jam and pilates. So it doesn't get boring. I hate routine! Exercise must be different for me everyday or I will quit it!
So far my numbers are 31 lbs down! I am happy and feel great! I am eating solid foods. A little bit of here and there and staying away from fat junk food. I have ordered a hot dog from Costco thinking oh yeah I am going to tear this down, yeah right, two bites later I felt so full. That's the new me, I guess.
So a combination of exercise and eating the right stuff should get me down another 31 lbs. I can't wait to hit onederland!!!

2 weeks post op review
Feb 27, 2010
Hey guys! What's going on?
I am back for my 2 weeks post op review and to let you guys know I have lost another 5 lbs!!! So my total is 18lbs...Woo hooo right?! So things are slowly getting better for me. I went to see my doctor, all my vitamin levels are fine and I will be back to see him again in 2 months. On Monday, yeah 2 more days until Phase 3, which I start pureed food. I am happy about that so I can get some TEXTURE!!! I haven't been as hungry as week 1, I must admit. I do crave if I see and smell food around me and it's hard but I have to be strong and I have been as strong as I can. I don't hear my stomach growling anymore and I am definitely making small progress each day so I am happy about that. I had my staples removed so I am going to start walking religiously now this coming week. I walk around the park and it feels great! The doctor told me to increase my calories intake to 600 per day and that meant increasing my protein shakes from 3 to 4? Um...I don't know about that. Hope you guys have a great week and I will be back soon.

Head hunger or what is going on here?
Feb 17, 2010
So I am back from the hospital. Everything went great! I was in the hospital overnight. Well, the gas pain was the worst. The first day home was painful. The second one I was feeling better already...like myself again and not hungry. All of a sudden....on the third day...I felt so hungry I could hear my stomach growling. WTH RIGHT?! Isopure didn't seat right with me. Tried couple flavors, they all tasted nasty and I had to force myself to drink that. I had about 2 bottles, that's it. So I am on this liquid diet now and will be for a while according to discharge instructions, I have been craving solid food like crazy. Right now all I can eat is creamy soups and you know liquids, caffeine free and sugar free, so I am sticking to ice tea, water, protein shakes and 2 cups of soup throughout the day. Everything goes down fine, sometimes I feel a little full but it quickly goes away, like in 5 minutes, I don't feel that pain people talk about. Maybe the very first days I did, I felt it was hard to get water down or liquids down and It would actually hurt a bit, but now... I don't feel it! I feel that I could easily have more soup, more yougurt, more of whatever I am having, without feeling like OMG! I feel like I am starving too so I am getting tired easily. Is my pouch a OVERSIZED pouch or what?! I am already wondering if I had the surgery or what was all that all about? It feels like I am on a diet and I am hungry most of the time. THis is too early for all this drama, right? What the hell is that?! So the nurse called me up and she said, slow down! I told her I had made protein shake this morning and I had 14 ounces in less than 1 hr. She was WOW! She kept saying slow down 8-10 ounces every hr should be ok. She classified my hunger as HEAD HUNGER. I wish I didn't have to deal with these issues soooo early in the game, you know what I mean? Maybe I am anxious, too anxious to see all this weight come off! I don't know! I am a mess right now. I did lose like 10 lbs so far this week. It has been a very interesting week in my life! I guess I was thinking there would be no hunger involved and that my little pouch would magically make everything perfect. I can't help but wonder what is the avarage RNY pouch capacity. I am just not a happy camper today! Hoping things will be better soon!
