A Stall....Let Me Vent Real Quick....
Oct 08, 2009
Well I did start doing my walking again. I took about a week and half off b/c I was trying to get used to going back to work and by the time I would come home I would be really drained and all I wanted to do was jump in the bed and sleep...So my mom nagged me to start walking again and I decided to get back on the ball b/c I was getting a little to lazy. Shoot, it felt great coming home from work and not having to work out or run errands...for the past year/year and a half all I have been doing was working out right after work or running errands and just wanted to enjoy my day before I had to go back to training. Overall my energy level has gotten a little bit better than the week before and actually was able to focus at work.
Later on today, I go for my 1 month post op appt and probably will ask him if I should be doing anything differently. Since I am low on cash funds this weekend, I am going to clean my apartment, try and start planning my menu for my solid food phase and try and relax b/c I think Sunday I am going to start back with my trainer...will let you know how everything goes with that.
Loving this Season
Oct 05, 2009
I have been loving this season so far...its something aobut fall that I love...it might be the beautiful weather during the day and cool nights where I can sleep with my windows open, the color changing leaves, the familar scent of fall in the air, or the pretty fall colors. Right now I was thinking about its been a long long time since I had a crush or had a boo. Man, I was sitting around the other day just thinking about I haven't had a crush or went crazy in love over some man in a very long time. I kinda miss the feeling of seeing his face, hearing his voice, missing the time that I am not talking with or being with them. I miss the nervousness I would get around my crush, the first kiss and what nots, the feeling of butterflies in my stomach when I would hear his name or pick up the phone and hear his voice. Man, It has been a very long time. Granted- I never really had a true boyfriend or relationship, but I have had crushes and I miss it. I have been out of the dating game for a very long time and I am scared of how things are going to be in the near future. I have closed myself off for a long time when it came to guys b/c I was just tired of getting hurt all the time. I was so tired of the one sided crushes and the I like you as "a friend" speech I would hear from my crushes. I kind of kept a some dude here or there that I would deal with, but after a while it got to the point where I wanted better and disserve better. Over the past two years, I have been focusing on self and even though I felt lonely, I kept telling myself that before any man could love me I have to learn to love myself. Things are just so different right now and I see things so differently than when I did during my last crush. I guess after a couple years, I still am getting over my heartache...I know for one thing, I will never chase after a man again....I will never make a man my proirity when I am marely just a choice to them....boy, I learned that lesson the hard way...I kind of had a feeling that my weight had something to do with the fact my crushes never wanted to be with me...even though they never came out and verbally said those words, deep down inside I knew that was a reason b/c I couldn't see why they didn't want to be with me...I am a good catch...but like I tell myself and my friends-"You can force no man to love you!" Boy I tried....really hard...lost myself while trying to get his attention...never again.... I just can't wait to find the one or just going out and dating. This weather today just had me thinking about my old crush...those memories started to come back and even though things are different....those memories will never go away.
Gas....
Oct 02, 2009
Friday night I experienced the worse gas pain in the world. If was a different feeling from when I left the hospital and had gas from the surgery. That kind of hurt but not as bad as what I went through last night. If I didn't think I was lactose intolorant then I definately know now! For the past week I have been eating a lot of cheese, but have been taking some lactose intolorant pills to prevent any side events and hadn't had any problem until I forget to take a pill during lunch on firday. Well my lunch experience kinda sucked becuase I had that stuck feeling for about 20 minutes at work. When that past I was fine until 3:00 came and the middle of my lower stomach started getting these shooting pains that was pretty intense. After the pain then came the rumbling of gas in my stomach, but I just couldn't past any gas. I ran to the bathrooom twice, but nothing would happen. I was miserable. That pain started coming every 2-4 minutes and would last for about 15 seconds. I tried to sit and bare with it but after about an hour I couldn't take it and went home. I was stuck in a little traffic with that pain and just had to stop at Rite Aid to get me some Gas-x. When I rushed home that pain just wouldn't stop. that constant gas pain made it hard for me to breathe or lay down. I took the medicine and just had to wait until the pain stopped. Told myself if the pain didn't stop by 6 then I was going to rush to the hospital. I started dry heeving since the last time I ate was at 12:30pm. I was wreck and all I could do was close my tearfilled eyes and pray for that pain to stop. The pain finally stopped by 5:30 and by then I was exhausted and drained. I jumped back into bed and called it an early night by 7. I learned my lesson and I hope I never feel that pain again.
Confused & Tired....
Sep 29, 2009
Yesterday, when i came back to work my coworkers suprised me with decorating my cube and buying me a flower to welcome me back. I was totallay taken back b/c I am not sued to people (especially my co-workers) being so nice to me. I couldn't get with a eating schedule yesterday at all b/c I was so tired. I tossed and turned that night before and really didn't get a good night's rest. So the whole day kind of dragged for me. I did manage to drive home for lunch to get a way for a second. By 4pm I found myself super sleepy and exhausted that I didn't know what to do. By 5 I rushed home, took a warm bath, jumped in my pjs, and relaxed the rest of the night. My body finally managed to settle down by 9:30. I did have enough energy to fix me tuna fish and I am glad I was happy to keep it down.
This morning I did wake up with a new goal in mind to start my food schedule today.
Breakfast: 1 boil Egg & 3 oz of cheese
Snack: Protein shake
Lunch: 2-3 oz of Tuna Fish 2 oz of Apple sauce
Snack: 1 Yoplait Yogurt
Dinner: Not Sure yet
The thing that I am confused about is that I have only lost .2 pound since the last 3 days. I am not sure what the pattern is supposed to be with losing weight, but mine is going slow. I am going to start walking again after work, that is if I have enough energy. I am trying not be the type of person that is weighing myself all the time, but I just want some type of reassurance that I am on the right track. I am trying to get in all my proteins and vitamins, with fluids, but some days I just don't have the desire to eat anything. I have to decided to go back to my personal trainer the week of the 12th. I just have to get used to my work schedule and so far I have been extremely sleepy & exhausted, I going for my follow up in the next week or two and just want some type of progress.
Last Day Before I Go Back To Work
Sep 28, 2009
Over the weekend I had a few friends come visit me and spend time with me and I even went and gotta a pedicure and my eyebrows done. It felt good to pamper myself for a change. I am trying to mentally prepare to go back to work. I am grateful to have a job, but I am just ready for a change. I have to start thinking about new professional goals I want to make.
Last Night.....Bad Experience
Sep 24, 2009
This morning went a lot better. First I fixd cream of wheat, which is disgusting. I do not recall cream of wheat tasting like dirt when I was growing up...I threw that out and fixed an scrambled egg and some applesause, which went down good. I think I am going to lay off the grits today and move over to oatmeal again. Tomorrow I am going to try some refried beans and salsa. I am trying to get my lazy butt up and take a walk.
Hmmmm Puree Food....
Sep 23, 2009
Today, for breakfast I decided to have 2 scramble eggs . I cooked it and sat down and tried to chew it as much as I can and all I kept feeling was the food going down my pouch. It was like I couldn't really enjoy my brerakfast. So a few hours later I had my snack, some yogurt and I am not sure if I ate to much or what, but I was not feeling good at all..I had to sit down and take a nap. When I woke up I felt better. Right now I really don't have an apetite and I know I have to get in all my proteins, but its hard trying to adjust to everything. The food I can finally have taste good, but its just not the same.
I also decided to go back to work next Tuesday and even though I had about 4 weeks off of work, I am still not ready to go back yet. I guess I am not sure how I am going to react or if my day will be fine. I am trying to get as much rest as I can, but at times I think I am getting too much rest. I guess getting used to everything is a big adjustment to get used to.
Rain Rain Go Away.....
Sep 20, 2009
My mom left today
Sep 17, 2009
Overall this week was not so good physically. I am still healing pretty good and lost another 8/9 pounds but my period has made we either lose sleep, have my back hurting, feeling dizzy and nauseas. Thank goodness my period is almost done for this month, but not sure the surgery had me feeling extra emotional and sick or what. I just will make sure I have the Pamperin handy. I lost my apetite for a few days and only could get down maybe one shake a day with lots of water/vitawater with my vitamins. I finally was able to get a decent night sleep after helping my mom pack up her suitcase last night. I still wasn't as comfortable as I usually am, but I did fall asleep
I had two co-workers stop by this week to visit and brought some DVDs that my job chipped in to buy for me. I also have a whole bunch of magazines to look at.
Tossing and Turning...
Sep 14, 2009
Last night, I could not sleep at all. I am not sure if its because I had a nap earlier that day or b/c I am PMSing. I jumped in the bed at 10:30pm and tried to watch some tv, but nothing good was on. I turned it off and then tossed and turned for a few hours. When I finally got to sleep I had to wake up to used the bathroom...well my bathroom visit took longer than expected and I have been up ever since. I still have about a week and a half left before I go back to work and I am trying to get enough rest as I can, but between these cramps I have been having a hard time trying to do that. Then my mind starting thinking about everything which made it even harder to go back to bed, so I just jumped on my laptop to clear my mind. I think I am getting the case of cabin fever and can't wait to get out of the house today to get my hair done. Since I finally got paid I think I am going pamper myself and keep myself busy. My mom will be leaving in a few days to go stay with my brother and his wife who is about to have their second daughter in a few days and I am going to miss her. All my family stay in either NC or PA and I see them maybe a few times a year....My mother has been a huge help and just going to miss her when she leaves so I am going to have to keep myself busy and stay out of trouble..lol
