Reg Foods
Aug 12, 2008
I cant believe how much weight im losing...its crazy. I cant picture myself skinny though..ever...so i guess we will see..
Anyway I have been experimenting with different foods and im not doing good with fruits..I can do blackberries..but I think it was grapes that made me throw up...I had some mixed fruit thing at a party and it did not go down well at all... it sucks..
I need to get better at my protien intake as well because I pretty much suck at it ... i hate those shakes.. gross.
Anyway things seem to be going well for me I guess I just still am adjusting to my new lifestyle...
Soft food stage
Jul 30, 2008
Hopefully tomorrow will be easier..
I have no idea how I am going to eat reg food when soft foods is such a challenge!!
Puree...ew
Jul 22, 2008
So my follow up appt. went really well. Sort of. I mean I have had no complications still but I havent been getting in my protien and all of my liquids. Also I asked my dr. about taking a kick boxing class and he said no...so negs on extreme cardio until atleast 6wks after surgery. I am on my Pureed food stage and yuck. Anything I have tried to puree has been disquisting so I just stick to apple sauce and mashed potatoes and yogurt..soup..all the stuff from the previous stage. Im amazed about how easy it is to get full!! Its awesome! Tomorrow I am going to buy the unflavored whey protien because the ones I bought at the Dr office is naaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssstyyyyyyyyyyy. I tried putting some in my yogurt this morning and almost threw up.
Also its so hard to find sugar free stuff!! EVERYTHING has high fructose corn syrup in it..I mean I thought Iced tea would be ok...but no too much sugar..
I guess I will have to stick to my crystal light flavors...and i would recommend cherry promegrante thats my favorite flavor..its so good!
HAPPY !!

So tomorrow is my first follow up appt with my doctor!! Everything has been going well so i hope it stays that way!! I really want to start hardcore working out though so I am going to ask him if thats ok being that i just got out of surgery like 2 weekss ago! I really dont want saggy skin..
well anyway... I AM REALLY HAPPYY RIGHT NOW! I just got back from some casino race track or something in PA and I won 500 bucks!!!!!! I never won money like that so im really excited. I mean I wasnt even supposed to be there because im not 21 until October ..but whatever im 500 dollars richer!! woo hooo!!
feeling kind of ehhhhh

So today I weighed myself...I mean it makes me happy because I'm losing weight..but it makes me mad because I see no difference!! But I mean I can't expect a huge difference in the second week but I don't know...I am in a weird mood. I am happy with my weight loss and also with my surgery outcome. I mean I have had no problems at all so far! The only problems I have had is not getting in my protein which isn't good but whatever. I don't take any pain medication...I bought a bottle of it and I don't even use it at all!! I dont really feel like I need it really, I dont have any pain. My incisions are starting to itch really bad and thats annoying but its not painful really. It amazes me how I really can't drink liquids like I used to...Sometimes when I am taking my meds in the morning (vitamin b12 pills, complete vitamins and pepcid) I take a big swig of my water just because its a habit and I have to take a second like whoaaa that was to fast.. Its weird!! I will have to get used to it though! Another annoying thing is the binder I have to wear. It like stretched out because I wear it everyday and its just a annoyance. I still wear it though because I am supposed too. Tomorrow I start babysiting full time again...a 2 and 1/2 month old baby..she is adorable! I hope it works out though cus technically im not supposed to be lifting more then 5 pounds for atleast another week and she weighs 13 pounds..We will see how that goes..
My social life has been annoying as well. I never realized how many things revolve around drinking! I go to parties and cant drink obviously but it really sucks! Fourth of July was hard too not to drink. I mean I am not going to drink for a while..No matter what...but it just sucks being 20 and having a social life...and not being able to do things everyone else is doing..but whatever it will be worth it in the long run..
I dont even know what this post was about...im just rambling.. anyway im going to bed early cus I have my pd and it sucks..bye
ONE WEEK POST OP
Jul 01, 2008
I have been thinking about making a youtube account with video blogs about my weightloss/surgery. They have a whole weight loss community on there and I found it to be really helpful!!
If you guys want to check some people out here are the people I have been watching who also had RNY gastric bypass....

just go to youtube.com and type in any of those names and the people will come up... you can search members because those are their member names or you could search videos too...you will find a lot of people that are taking different approaches to WLS and follow them on their journeys as well...
Anyway I am going to go for a walk...worried about those blood clots!! byeee
WOW!
May 21, 2008
WOW!! I cannot believe this process has been going on for almost a year!! I just saw my last post and it was almost a year ago!! CRAZY! Well also I changed my option of the lap band and am going the RNY route...hopefully it all works out...
Can't wait to be healthier and happier...
Weight Loss Surgery?
Jun 14, 2007
I pretty much dont know what I want besides being healthy. After my first unsucessful year of college and a few let downs along the way I would really like to improve my health and self image...so hopefully meeting with my doctor will help smooth things out....i'm so nervous!
