Okay so its been awhile since I posted anything so here goes. I am now down 50 lbs WHOO-HOO !!!!!!!! 
go me. I am just so excited now if I could just find something to eat that tastes good I'd be on cloud nine. But I am not going to complain. Things are alot better then they were 50 lbs ago so I can handle just about anything. I seem to eat alot of refried beans because mu pouch handles them really well. Not the canned ones they have o come from a resturant so I go and get little bowls to go and you should see the looks I get. (lol) I am still wanting some spaghetti real bad but I still have 3 1/2 more monthes before I can have that or breads of any sorts. I have also gone down 2 sizes in my clothes and the ones I am in now are starting to get big. Life is good!!!!
Going to get me some
and get back to my sewing room.
thanksgiving dinner
Nov 28, 2008
Well my first holiday trial is over, and I made it yipee!!!
We went to my sons house for dinner and I did really great as far as the eating goes but I will say the trip over there I had my doubts. I don't know what happened but thank god I brought a plastic bag in the truck with me!!
It seems like anytime I eat anything lately I want to throw up, or my stomach hurts like hell. In fact I'm hungry until I sit down to eat and then I get nauseous what gives??? but other then that I am fine. I only had 1 1/2 oz of protein which ended up being 1/2 deviled egg and a little piece of turkey and two green beans that was my thanksgiving dinner. But I really was stuffed and couldn't eat anything else if I wanted to. So I am interested to see how I'll eat at christmas.

my post op
Nov 25, 2008
I had my first post op on Mon. and everything seems to be going fine. Although I was kinda tic-ked off at the nurse. She told me I was supposed to be on a liquid diet for two weeks after I had my surgery now let me just say nobody told me that or I would have done it. What pissed me off was when she said that I apparently did not listen when I went to the preop nutrition class! That was when things went downhill for me and her. I felt like she was calling me a liar. I told her I was following the book to the tee on what I was eating and when I was supposed to add new foods etc. And then she tells me the book is wrong I should not be following it. So is it my fault they gave me wrong instructions to follow??
Not only that she put me in the room to see the dr. and forgot to tell the dr. that I was there and waiting to see her. After sitting there for 45 min. in the back I went looking a magazine to read and to let them know I was still waiting to be seen she tells me oh I forget to tell the dr. Yes I was kinda torked off at her. Thank god I don't have a job to get back to and I was in a good mood or ugly words would have flown.
but other then that it was a good visit and I was down 29 1/2 lbs yeah me but as of yesterday weighing in on scales I am down 31 lbs. whoo hoo.

Just hanging out
Nov 15, 2008
Okay so yesterday I had my first experiance with getting sick but it was not from something I ate it was taking my meds! Definitly don't want to go there again. I have been experiencing nausea when I took my medicine but this time it was on. I called my dr. and he suggested dividing my medicine to take one of the pills in the am and the other after lunch so we will see how that works.
Me and my hubby
went to see our beautiful grandbaby later that night and had a ball with her she is at such a cute age.
This evening we went out to dinner the first since surgery and I did pretty good! We went to Cracker Barrell and I ordered a childs plate of grilled chicken fingers (boy are they small) but I ate one finger and a few green beans and two bites of collards (yum yum) but I asked for a to go box and put most of my food in it to take home. I will probably freeze the left overs so if I want to feel like I have gone out to dinner I can just pop it out of the freezer. I allready have two cups (1 1/2 oz each) of wendys chili in there ready to nuke when I want it.
I have found that I really don't feel like eating out now because it is hard to find something that I can have. Maybe later on down the road when I can have more to eat it will be easier.
I go see the nut on monday and hopefully she can give some suggestions on what else that I can add in to my stage two of eating.

Just another day in paridise!!

Okay so another day is down and everything is still going great. I truely am trying to believe that I had surgery but I feel so good that I am still finding it hard to believe. Why didn't I do this years ago?
I feel like its been a month or more and it hasn't.
I went to walmart tonight and picked up food for my next stage and I did find that kind of hard because I found myself wanting some chips with salsa but I knew that I couldn't have it so I just kept walking. The only other thing that i really want to eat that it is driving me up a wall is I want a slice of pizza and a plate of spaghetti am I italian or what???
Won't be too too much longer on the spaghetti
although I have never had whole grain or whole wheat noodles but hell I'll try it.
I am trying to learn how to read labels so far that sucks not going to well with that it is all so confusing.
I also think I have my days and nights mixed up big time you know up all night sleep a few hours a day. The thing is I am finding that I am not sleepy. Thank god I love to read because I sure have gone through the books lately.
Oh well thats it for now I know how boring right but what can I say theres really nothing new to write about just hanging out and waiting for my post op appt.
Till then see ya.

just an update
Nov 10, 2008
Ok so today is 11-10-08 and it has been 11 days since my rny, and to tell you the truth I feel great. Did dr.Whipple even do my surgery?I am beginning to question things because I have had no problems at all except when I drink to fast and then it only hurts I don't throw up or anything. I was supposed to see the dr. on friday for my post op but he will be out of town so my post has now been changed to the following friday. I am ready to hear what he thinks and to see how I am doing, according to my scales I am down 20 lbs not bad if it is true.
Still not sure about if I am getting all of my protein in I really do need to start keeping a food journal and I promised myself that I would.
Hopefully I am doing things right we shall see.

I don't care if I do have to puree my food and it does look like baby s**t as long as it doesn't taste like broth!!
