Ok I started that off well. I seem to only write about the negative stuff. I am happy I had RNY. I have more energy and seem to be all around in better health. I am just currently frustrated with this stall. I'm getting tired of gaining and losing the same pound and I don't know what to do to start losing again. Everyone says its normal but I've talked to others that said this didn't happen until they were 3 weeks out. This started for me less than a week and a half- 10 days and now in 2 days it will be 1 month post op and I still have only lost 31 pounds- only 16 since surgery the rest was from the two weeks prior I was on liquids only. What can I do? Excercise more? Go back to all liquids? thats not feasable for life!

chew....chew...chew..... Well I will learn about chewing or I will die from anorexia because I vomit every time I get anything lodged or its not chewed to the pureed stage. It was embarrasing. I had company over. We grilled out had melon.... fruit seems to be my enemy on this..... my pouch doesn't feel well now..... I'll be ok

Good Morning...... Today so far has been good. I have alot to do today and yesterday was good until dinner anyway. Bad experience and all my fault. I took another bite when I knew not to. Its the clear your plate syndrom I was raised to believe. I am so stupid. I almost vomited  and I was sick for two hours after. I finally just went to bed. I feel great this mnorning though.

 I am sooooo grumpy today. I am not sleeping well and so I'm tired and even more short tempered than usual. I've finally lost another pound. I had not been losing anything since about 10 days post op and started getting very upset. I need to start excercising more.... ok period! I don't consider going for a walk around the block excercise. I am going to the community center next week to pay for the month and I can start using the machines and I can start swimming in a week or so, hopefully all goes as planned. I actually have the 4th off... this is good... I haven't had the 4th off of work in about 12 years. Oh well, I really should get back to work......

Monday's...... hate them! Well I'm home now so all is well. Work was tiring and I think I should have weaned myself back so to speak. I am so sleepy....I think its time for bed soon.....

Well 19 days post op. Only complication so far is an ulcer. Not too bad the meds are helping. Today I feel really tired but thats been alot lately. The doctor said it was expected because of the all liquids I've been on but today I can try some puree's so I'm happy everything is sitting well. So today I am eating:

Breakfast- 4TBL. Cream of Wheat and 3TBL. Yogurt
Snack- 4 oz. Protein drink
Lunch- 2 TBL Tuna, 3TBL. Cottage Cheese, 2TBL Pureed Carrots
Snack- 4 oz. Protein Drink
Dinner- ??- not sure yet probably a repeat of lunch

I am getting alittle upset. My family seems to be eating all the food I have to have and leaving me nothing to choose from. Come on I don't have a big list here. Oh well I'll be ok they hate protein shakes so if all else fails!!!!

Well I have an ulcer which is why I was burning when I drank or ate anything..... by the way, it sucks!

I just talked to my surgeon. Off to the hospital! I could have an ulcer or a phisher... not sure on spelling..... he has to scope me to see.... I am truly an idiot now!!!! I hope someone is looking out for me.....

Well, I came back to work yesterday. I was glad to be back! I was so tired of being at home, just not used to it I guess. Everyone recognizes that I've lost some weight but I don't. I mean my clothes fit instead of being to tight and my undies are loose in the butt which I am happy about, its just when I look in the mirror or I sit down and see my legs spread out I still see SMO!!! Oh well, I know I will change alot soon and I can't wait!!!!! Today my pouch is not happy. I am now on soft/pureed food and dumbass me decided to try and chew a piece of pineapple- now they said chew to the texture of babyfood- so I chewed I guess not enough- it got stuck and I vomited- not a good thing at all!!! I am not out by much and now I am worried, Did I do something? My stomach has been upset all day and I tried to eat some cottage cheese at lunch and its not sitting too well, the eggs didn't this morning either. I don't know what to do.......

Well its been a week since my last post. Today my pouch is not feeling well. I went for my check up and I am very upset. My surgeons office is being closed. I won't have a doctor for follow up or anything. I don't know what to do. I am feeling really weak and tired. They gave me the ok to eat preed food.THANK YOU!!!! I was getting very hungry. Liquids were not cutting it anymore...... Oh well I gotta cook for the family but at least I can eat with them......
