lots of appts
Dec 17, 2009
Well last week I saw my surgeon and my psych and this week I saw the nutritionist.
I am improving I can now walk and shower and do all sorts of things but I am slowly building up so I don't ruin the good thing I have going. ha. my surgeon said I can start adding excercise as tolerated and he thinks I am doing very well and told me not to beat myself up over things since I have had problems with vomiting before surgery.
psych went well was nice to talk to her especially since I have been so down and then my grandma passed on monday last week so that was very hard. She told me there is no sign that things are going downhill I have lost weight I have physically lost inches that is proof things are going good and I should stop when I find myself looking down at the situation.
We won't talk about the funeral it was very awkward with my family, but it was good to see my grandma at peace I love her so much and when I went to see her a few weeks back she told me she was going home for christmas and she was right.
The Nut was interesting . . I like this lady so I made sure to get another appt with her since I was getting sick of being passed around and meeting with some not so pleasant nuts. this one gave me all sorts of samples of diff vitamins she made me feel good and like I was making good decisions she actually looked at the whole picture instead of do this and this and gave me her email so I can email to ask questions or if I want her to check a random daily intake. But she did say I was losing too fast so we talked about ways to better my weightloss. Who would think I would lose too fast. I am only getting in about 300 calories a day but for those calories I am getting in around 50 grams of protein so she said even though I still can't eat a whole lot I am making good choices and what I liked about her is usually the others would be like throw in protein shakes etc she gave me tips on how to get my extra protein in a couple smaller meals thrown in that might be easier than choking down a shake and plus it gives more quality protein from actual food. So I will def go back to her.

First time writing

I haven't wrote in here yet but today I am feeling pretty motivated.
I am what a little over 14 weeks out? and what a ride it has been. This last week I was so depressed so down just ready to give up and today I feel as if a switch has flipped and I wanted to make sure I had a record of this moment.
To start with I started out at 323 lbs before my pre op liquid diet at the time I had trouble going up steps etc because of the pain in my knees and also due to my illness hidradenitis. I was so excited yet nervous for surgery. So fast forward to surgery I woke up from surgery feeling awesome was out the next day which happened to be my 25th birthday what a present I gave myself. I was walking everyday with the only feeling of just extra air in my upper stomach.
From there it went downhill I started throwing up a lot had some pains around my belly got very dehydrated so I went in exactly a month after surgery and ended up having emergency surgery in which they straightened out my intestines as I got a internal hernia. Since than I have had two other issues with one resolved thank god. I don't know if it was from being in the hospital for 4 days or what they did during surgery moving me about but my hip was dislocated I ended up going to the chiropracter many days til they were finally able to get it back in that is resolved thank god. The other issue is when I stand for too long I get sick too long is probably the wrong word for it . . more like anywhere from 2 sec- 5 min. literally people see everything drain out of my face.
This caused many issues I didn't want to eat, I had trouble drinking which caused more and more feelings of sickness. But finally this last week I said enough is enough I need to do what is right I need to take care of ME now. So I did I got on a schedule made myself eat drink and omg I am feeling great . . absoulutely super well other than the standing thing but I am gradually trying to get myself up more and walk some more . . I have chairs all over the house so I can sit but I am slowly pushing myself to move more hoping maybe that will be the trick.
on other news I hit my first stall and that is ok . . I have went this whole time dropping like crazy and to feel so good it is worth the stall. I know it will come back and it helps that people are taking notice to my changes also. I started at size 28 and I can fit into a size 22 but not yet comfy to wear all day though.
phew that felt good to get all out.
