*** ALMOST 6 months Post-Op from Lap RNY (not my revision@wk 7)

May 16, 2010

FIRST OFF,  YES, I know I am writing in a color other than BLACK and a font LARGE enough that I can see... I am on a RANT fest today ( yes, I should prob. put this in RANTS and RAVES but this felt like a better place.. and only you guys, well, some of you guys know how I feel.

ok.. PROTEIN drinks, bars etc.. of any kind SUCK SUCK SUCK to me! I do not care what they are, I have tried them all, from Isopure to the Walmart kind and all the kinds in between. I think I have ordered EVERY sample out there and I can't even stand the "TASTE LESS" kind.. YUCK, I have had such a hard time eating, even now at almost 6 months out, that eating "PROTEIN" is still very hard. I NEVER get my daily amount in of VITMS, YUCK as well ( BAD BAD ME! ). I am TRYING to do better with them. I did 2 of my 4 "FUSION" multi. vitms. tonight and also 2 calcium with D3 tonight..and of course, my hair is FALLING OUT just if you look at it.. you don't even have to touch it and it is on the back of my shirt! But the vitms. and proteins.. BLAH.. I feel like I live on nausea meds and these vitms. make me have to do it more...

Well, onto the "CLOTHING" issue.. I am down to 1 drawer, YES, ONE drawer of clothes. I have NOTHING, and when I say NOTHING, I do mean NOTHING that I can wear out of the house that doesn't have a hole or rip or stain on it! I have plenty of FALL/WINTER clothes for this next winter but NOTHING for SPRING/SUMMER here is South Carolina... it is HOT HOT HOT already! I do NOT want to go buy clothes that I will only be able to wear a month or so..

I go to goodwill, yard sales and flea markets, but again, mostly things that have rips, holes and stains, nothing to wear out to anywhere nice. I do not have the means like some to just go buy .. I am trying to get by on hand me downs, which I do not mind at ALL, until FALL/WINTER gets here.. not that we really ever have a fall/winter, but cooler weather.

Spring/Summer clothes..Only one problem, I CAN'T FIND ANY!!! I even went to walmart yesterday for a bathing suit b/c ALL of mine are too big, which, of course is a good thing.. but, there was NOTHING that fit me!!! Everything was a 2/4/6 and a 22/24+... I need 18-14 clothes, XL-MED shirts and stretchy shorts and bathing suit I would say a 12/14  because a 16 is too big.. I have never had BOOBS and now I have even LESS boobs!

It is all just sooooo frustrating and there is NO WHERE else to vent but here with you guys that understand. ANYWAY, that is my RANT, maybe I should have posted in RANTS AND RAVES, but again, I thought you RNY people out there, and even others, would understand how I feel!

I did get some good advice on getting some simple Clothing and changing accessories to make it look diff. and I appreciate that.. as well as some other protein supps. I will look into.

Hope you are all having a good night.
