Things seem off..

Apr 11, 2016

I swore before I had this surgery that I wasn't going to be one of those people who "test" their pouch. That I was never going to drink coffee or a diet soda again. Here I am, almost 6 weeks out, and I have eaten more than I should, drunk an entire cup of coffee in one day and drink Diet Vernors right along with my water. I didn't want to live my life in fear that everything and anything could hurt me. I was scared to eat anything. I figured that as long as I was at home, in case I dumped, I would be ok. And so far, I have been fine. I didn't have an adverse reaction to coffee or soda. My issues have been with chicken and boiled eggs. Those hurt. I feel funny afterwards. For now, those are on the backburner. We'll try again on 3-6 months. You live and you learn, right?

After the 3rd week my weight loss completely stalled. As soon as I put soft foods back into my diet, it completely stopped. I know that I was eating too many carbs at one point. Mashed potatoes and cream of wheat. Tried crust off of my boyfriend piece of pizza. Toast the next day. My body wasn't getting enough protein and not enough exercise. I have been trying to switch it up. I walk a few minutes on the treadmill every or every other day. I drink protein shakes and snack on meat to try to increase my protein intake. I know it really comes down to moving more too. I need to break a sweat daily in order to see serious progress. 

I had a surgery that rearranged my intestines. I am mad at myself that my laziness has stalled my progress. I need to figure out how to get over this tired all the time feeling and motivate myself. 

I bet that sounded like rambling. It's after midnight and my mind is racing. I just want to see more progress. I'm tired of it taking up my thoughts every waking minute. I know that surgery wasn't magic, I just thought I'd lose more initially, making it easier for me to move around...it just hasn't happened yet. 

I need to go to sleep. I know sleep is just as important as diet and exercise.
