9 weeks POST op
Dec 15, 2009
So it’s been a while for an update, and that’s because we are dead smack in the middle of our move. So far the moving companies have come in packed the house, and shipped all our goods. We have checked out of base housing, and my daughter and I are staying in Michigan (mom’s house) for the holidays. Which I LOVE by the way. I’m going to miss the family a lot while in Hawaii. They were able to visit often (every 4-5 months) while we were in N.C. and I don’t think that will be the case for Hawaii. My plan is to however come here for every Christmas if we can afford it, and if its god timing. According to my husbands new command he will be getting ready for a deployment as soon as we get to Hawaii, and will be leaving sometime after March. Oh lovely. I knew it was coming, its time. Doesn’t mean I have to like it. Ill deal with that later when the time is right. Okay let’s move on. It’s been about 9 weeks now, and things are finally starting to stay down! Thank the Lord! Meats are getting easier to swallow, and are getting stuck less and less. I still can’t believe how small the amounts are, and how full I feel after eating, but I know everything is right, and this is working for me. I’ve been at a stall for about a week now, and I know that some of the issue is I’m not getting in all my protein. TRUST ME I’m trying, but it’s so weird with not being hungry, and some days I would just rather not eat at all! When I have them kinds of days I at least get in all my fluids, and try to take in some protein shakes. My current weight is 237 LBS. Which is 5 lbs away from my 60 LB mark! My goal was to make it to 230 by New Years, and as long as I can keep getting my protein in I think Ill make it. I’m very happy with my progress so far, I just wish I had my measuring tape so I could see the inches as well… Speaking of seeing, why can’t I tell the weight change in the mirror? I can tell in my jeans, and shirts, and when I wrap some towels around myself, but not in the mirror! What’s that about? Me no likey. So all in all that’s about it for now. I’ve been trying to get out and go to stores and walk my happy ass every night (ITS FREEZING HERE), and I’m really looking forward to getting to our new destination so I can get into the gym, and start really working on myself! Ill update one more time before the move (January 11th) to let everyone know how I’m holding up (especially around these holidays), and then Ill update again as soon as we are in housing, with internet… which could be a while. Thanks for sticking around <3 Ilene
