Spoke too soon.
Jun 25, 2011
The evening on 06/23/2011, I introduced something new to my diet - spinach. Tasted great and I felt good.
About 12:30 a.m. on 06/24/2011, I woke up with the foamies. This lasted for 3 hours. Not only the foamies, but the other end also.
Guess I just wasn't ready for spinach.

1st Month Post-op Visit

Had my first post-op visit. I weighed in at 208 lbs!
Was also cleared for soft foods. For dinner, I had a hard boiled egg and spinach. Felt kind of strange in my pouch, but it stayed.
Next visit is on August 24th. Can't wait to see what happens then.
I can say that I have gone from 22/24 to 18/16. Thank goodness for the Goodwill and consignment shops.

Initially, I started this journey in 2007. Went through 5 of the 6 classes in insurance required and right before class 7, realized that I wasn't ready for this.
Fast forward to March 2010. Decided that I was ready. Nut provided my stats over the past few months. In November 2009, I weighed 279. In March 2010, I weighed 254.
Had my first visit with the surgeon in February 2011. My weight was 244. My last visit prior to surgery was in early May 2011. I gained 3 pounds and weighed in at 247.
The night before surgery, I weighed 232. From November 2009 to May 23, 2010, I lost 47 lbs.
Had surgery on 05/24/2011. Other than BP issues, surgery was a breeze. To date, have not had any issues with food.
Did develop a bladder infection. I am sure that I added to it by not drinking enough fluids. But, I am working on that.
