Had my first puke

Jan 11, 2010

I am sure this isn't a topic many of you want to discuss, but I think it is important.  Ever since my surgery I have heard horror stories about post opp puking.  Well, thanks to some really dry Chinese chicken I ate last night, I got over that fear.  I wasn't any different than before surgery and I felt so much better afterwards.  I also learned the importance of eating moist meat. 

The holidays went well for me.  My DS allowed me to eat with freedom for the most part.  White flour is completely evil to my system.  I made sure that at each party I attended I ate a lot of cheese and turkey pepperoni.  Those are life savers for me.

To date I have gone from a size 22/24 to a size 18.  I can feel  my size 18's getting big on me.  Even after dropping around 60 pounds I haven't been able to look in the mirror and see a difference.  My friend Renee says she can tell and my mom says she can as well. I just wish my husband gave me a compliment every now and then.

Yesterday I went and have my labs drawn for my first round of checks.  I visit the Dr. on the 22nd for the results. My only fear is my protein as I am basically a vegitarian.  Since surgery I have tried to eat meat, but I can't do it.  My compromise is a little chicken and turkey.  Thank goodness for protein bars!
