SIX WEEKS OUT

Apr 15, 2010

I'm officially six weeks out from surgery.  I'm still having problems getting in all the water I need and the protein.  And I had my first dumping experience.  I had gone to the funeral home with my business partner and on the way back she talked me into stopping at one of our local hangouts.   The nightly special was steak tips.  She ordered the special and I ordered cottage cheese, but "no water...no, no coke....no I don't need anything to drink...it's okay"

I ate three of her steak tips after cutting them into tiny, little pieces.  They were sooooo delicious.  I probably overate.  Or maybe it was bad cottage cheese.  Or maybe it was the "au jus"  Don't know.  But they started to come back up as I was driving home on a very busy road.  I reached in the back and luckily I had a newspaper back there.  I retched into the newspaper while I was driving.  Ugh!! 

I was sick for the rest of the night.  So I made a promise to myself....I will never overeat, again.  I think that's why I was sick.  But it was horrible.

A little pleasure for a lot of hurt.  Hmmmmm.   There is a Buddhist lesson in here somewhere.


I have lost 30 pounds.  My scale needs a new battery and I'm not sure just how much I weigh!   My scale weighs 5 more pounds than the doctor's.  And the last time I weighed myself I was down to 181.5.  So, that's like 186.5.  That's 32.5 pounds, if my maths right!!  Yippeee!!!
