almost 7 months now...
Jul 14, 2010
Well, its been almost 7 months post op now. Oh I went from 304lbs day of surgery to 213lbs today. I think that is great progress but sometimes I think Im losing it too slow. I dont get sick like I used to anymore, mostly because I do follow the rules better. I do tend to eat things I should not, like pasta . Its kindof hard being married to a 100% sicilian. Pasta is a way of life here lol. I am good about bread though. I know my tummy just cant handle it. If I really crave a sandwich I used a wheat wrap and wrap up some tuna with lettuce, tomatoe and cheese. Its very filling and kindof tricks me thinking I just had a sandwich. I miss subs. I went a couple of times to the subshop with my hubby but I know I cant eat that so I usually order all the contents of a turkey sub as a salad, minus the bread. Its pretty yummy. I dont get the dumping like some people do. Ice cream does bother me though. I can eat chocolate sometimes...but No way would I chance a piece of rich cake. Just a few nibbles satisfies me. I feel like I am not going without because basically I take a little taste of just about everything everyone else has and I dont feel deprived. I am worried that I dont have a biatric doctor right now. The closest who will accept my insurance is about 3 hours away. I go to my primary but I know she doesnt feel comfortable being my main doctor, shes worried about complications if they should arrise. I know I am vitamin deficient. I had bloodwork and I have been getting a B12 shot everyweek. I think that something else must be low because I am fighting severe dry skin and hair loss. I know Protien is part of the problem. I just cant stomach the drinks...and I dont have the extra money to buy the good kind. I do try to eat meats first and eggs and such, but I know its not enough. I wish there was a way to get free protien drinks but I know that is just wishfull thinking. I am glad I have been doing this blog...It will give me something to look back about in about a year. well thats it for now. caio
