well i weighed myself yesterday i weigh 360. starting weight at about 459 to 460. so since may i lost 100 pounds. id like to lose at least another 100 to 160 pounds. seems like i will never get there. i know ill feel better with another 100 pounds gone. still have the same old problems with the 100 i lost.
i eat almost everything i use to eat. nothing changed there. but still dont eat the amount i use to.
something dont taste to good so i dont push myself to eat it like some people whove had surgery. like bread i can live without it. and if i get a sandwich i ask for no bread or throw it out. lets see roast doesnt agree with me. ice cream i can eat some but i use to love ice cream lol. it just doesnt taste right anymore. and pork doesnt really agree so i might eat a bite or two. the hard thing is i know im not getting enough protein. unfortunately i cant tolerate the protein drinks they cause me terrible cramps and diarherra. i have celiac disease so i think thats the reason. i was the first patient cleveland clinic had that had celiac disease.
chicken i love. try to eat tuna almost everyday. dont like dry eggs.pizza can eat just one piece. my i eat it with light sauce i just cant tolerate alot of sauce on it never could. hamburger i eat about half of the meat. and i have to watch not to lie down before i eat or i start to throw up in my sleep. so thats scary! i havent been to get much exercise since my insurance wont pay for physical therapy any more this year. and i cant walk cause of my sciatica flares up so i was doing the exercises in the pool. i want to find another class like that so im now a member of the y and im going to see if they have the warm pool. cant do cool pool cause of my arthitis. i wish those 2 ails would go away! id feel good lol.
well im going to sign off. take care all!

i went to do my day of testing at cleveland clinic for surgery. i had to be at the hospital at 7 am. so i had to leave at 5 am.
i had to my labs first,than a chest xray,than ekg, than saw the impact nurse,impact doctor. which delayed me for my appointment for psych testing so the person there was snotty who gave me the test and she doesnt even allow you to comment when she's asking you these tests from the computer. and she said since I was late i couldnt see the psy doctor. so than after that test i got to do one by myself on the computer that took 10 minutes. than that recep told me to wait in the waiting room for the doc. so i waited for 20 minutes and i remembered the woman who gave the first test said i couldnt see the doctor today i would of course have to come back for a followup. in august! anyway, i went to ask the woman at the checkin desk and she went to recheck if i had to speak to the doctor and she said no you're done here. so i left and got on time for my next appt i liked the nutrionist.
i have to go see her next month.

august 2006
went to cleveland clinic seminar and have to wait for them to call me. the bummer is you have to have their own doctors do the psychological testing and i already just did that in may of this year for another hospital i was going to for the surgery. st vincent hospital in cleveland ohio. such a terrible unfriendly place. couldnt stand the surgeon. he said i had to lose 60 pounds before my surgury and i told him if i could lost that much do you think i would even be here? ive tried for over 7 years to lose this weight and i cant. i have very low thyroid which my doctors were never able to fix by medicine ,even though i still take a high dosage, than i found out i had celiac disease.
