Positive? Not sure but I feel good!

Sep 11, 2009

Ok.  I think I'm finally picking my head up out of the sand and realizing that I just may be able to live with this whole sleeve thingy!  I'll tell you a little bit of a gross story....I was at work last week and we were pretty busy.  I had just discharged one patient and was expecting to get another one.  So...I had about 15 minutes to grab something to eat (12 hr shift!).  I had brought tuna fish.  So...I did the best that I could but because I was eating so quickly, I think that I took one or two more bites than I should have.  My new patient was admitted and was very close to delivery already.  It was important to her that she get her epidural so I was moving pretty quickly.  I had the WORST feeling in my chest.  You know.  That uncomfortable full feeling?  I was foaming and profusely sweating.  My patient kept belching and aplogizing for her indigestion.  I told her not to worry because I was having sympathy indigestion for her!    Well, it got to be too much.  I poked my head out of the room and mouthed to my friend and co-worker, "I'm going to throw up.  Can you just give me two minutes"?  She knows that I had surgery and came running in so I could go to the bathroom.  I had to initiate the deed in the bathroom.  It was awful!  I've never actually vomited through my nose before but can you imagine pieces of tuna?!?!    Disgusting.  Haven't had tuna since.My patient and I proceeded to share my Altoids.

Moving on.

Today I am an eating fool!!  I made crockpot taco chicken last night.  I woke up at 2:30am (hazard of a shift worker) and finished a whole serving in about 30 minutes.  I drank about 30 oz of crystal light between that and the egg with laughing cow cheese at 7am.  I then proceeded to consume a mediteranean mix of black and green olives, mozarella cheese, artichokes and tomatoes at 9am.  1030am-three crackers and a piece of cheese.

I do not feel full at all and my mind is hungry!  Grrrrrr!

I guess it kind of feels good because I'm able to eat something and not throwing up, getting the gurgles, the foamies, etc.  Maybe this will kick-start my weight loss??  I've read that if I shock my body...blah blah blah.  Hopefully.  We'll see.

I'm making a meatloaf for the crock tonight!  Love the crock.

Did I tell you that I've lost 20 lbs?  It's coming off very slow but it's coming off.  That's all that matters.

What do you guys think?  I wrote this in my blog for the record but I'm going to put it on the board for feedback.  Sorry about the graphic nature!
