Some updates!

Jun 13, 2009

I am down 90lbs as of yesterday, so I decided to have hubby take some pics.  I just uploaded the picture and put it side by side with a few before surgery pics.  I am having a hard time telling the difference - I know I am smaller - I have lost 90lbs and I have gone from a size 30/32 to a size 18/20 which is starting to become loose.  I am excited for these changes but I am still fat and far from "normal".  I am struggling with my food, I try new things only to rush to the bathroom to puke it up.  They say this is normal but puking everyday is just no fun.  I have resigned to eating pudding, applesauce, oatmeal, yogurt and berries.  I did try some wendy's chili the other day, it felt greasy to me so I am going to make my own today.  We'll see how that goes.   I have been adding protein powder to it all, drinking water, and protein shakes.  

I had my IVC filter out on Tuesday, it was way better than it was going in.  I did get very sick on Wednesday and Thursday I stayed home from work.  My incision is bigger than it was going in, and it's a little more painful.  They are very nice in that department at Ellis though... the doctor and the nurses and everyone were just great.  I wish the nurses on the bariatric floor were that nice. o.O     

That's all I have for now.  I can't wait to lose another 90-100lbs.  Then I actually might start to notice in the mirror.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!! = )
