9 Weeks Post Op

Aug 26, 2009

Things have been going slow and steady.  I am down 58 pounds as of today.  Which is only 21 pounds difference from my 4 weeks weight.  I am not complaining though.  My body is shifting around so much that the same pair of pants rarley fit the same twice.   I have gone from a 26/28 to a 18/20.  18 if it has the 1% spandex in it.  My co-workers call me skinny minny.  The funny thing about that is that I know that I have lost a large amount of weight in a short period of time but I am not blind to the fact that I weigh 245 lbs and even though I am almost 5'8, that still does not make me skinny.  I wonder what they will call me when I really am skinny?  I have still shyed away from buying too many new clothes because like I said, things do not fit for very long.  And I still can not get myself to buy sizes that are too much smaller than the ones I am in now because I feel like I will jinx it.  As far as food goes, I am doing pretty good.  My doc let me skip a couple of steps in my. "food recovery" process but I still have issues with lots of food.  I can not nor do I think that I will every be able to eat a scrambled egg!  My pouch seems to be very texture sensitive.  It seems it would like all my food to be runny.  UGH!  But little by little I have been able to get more meats in my diet.  I still have another 3 weeks left of protein supplements and those 3 weeks just can not go fast enough.  I have tried just about every protein supp there is and still can not tolerate the taste of any of them.  Bottom line is I have had 5 kids and all the supplements smell like baby formula no matter how many other flavors are in there and basically that is what a protien supp is.  GAG!!!!!!! 

Well I must go for now.  My best friend has decided to have a small reunion party for a bunch of us from high school.  People that I have not seen since about a year before my surgery.  I have a mini goal to be down another 20 lbs by then and it is 30 days away.  I will keep my fingers crossed.
