Happy New Year
Jan 14, 2011
I am down to 143 now. I don't put ANY effort at all into stopping myself from eating. I don't like sweet things anymore. I am glad for that, but a part of me misses them. After the surgery, when I would eat sweets, I would get violently ill. I think that affected me, and now I feel kind of yuck when I see them. I want to be able to eat them, but I can't. My hair is still falling out, and I am still not eating enough protein. It is hard, I don't eat very much food. I am not hungry. I had to have my gallbladder out right after Christmas. It was terrible. I hadn't noticed any problems with it, ever. Then Sat. night I started having pains, Sunday night my temp was rising and I was going septic. Gangrene had set in and the doc took it out Monday. He waited until the iv antibiotics had kicked in. The recovery took awhile- a solid 2 weeks, but I feel great now. I have lost 100 pounds now. I wear a size 14 skirt, it fits very comfortably, M shirt. It still seems weird to wear these sizes. I have been fortunate with my skin not sagging, but I am steadily losing my breasts and butt. I am so glad I had the surgery. I pretty much just eat whatever I want. I do NOT eat low calorie foods, it is hard enough to get the calories I need with regular food. I do make an effort to pick protein rich foods. I don't drink or eat any supplementary protein items. Just food. Except for Greek yogurt, I try to eat that a few times a week, since it has so much protein. I still drink coke pretty much every day. My New Years Resolution is to try to eat HEALTHIER foods, like maybe adding some more vegetables, and drinking less coke. My husband is still thrilled with my surgery results. I feel so good now, I forget how it was before the surgery. I encourage everyone I can to have the surgery, it is that wonderful. Also my BP is really good now, no more diabetes and I am still off the heart pills. I do still have asthma though.
