3 month check up today

Sep 10, 2010

Well i seen Dr. Mcphee today. I told him about me mishap and still in pain when i eat. Not bad just i feel like i have over eaten and have no appetite.. He said that read meat takes longer to digest then chicken and turkey, thats why they dont reccommend it this early and that some people can never tolerate it. Well i guess im one of them, he suggested that i stay on liquids for a few days and if i still have this problem next week to call. The thing that sucks is he will be having knee surgery on monday and will be out for a while so i will have to see someone else.  I can honestly say i learned a lesson the hard way...just my dam luck...

I have offically down to 188 .

Jul 29, 2010

Well had appt with Dr. McPhee today. Again i must say he is AWESOME!! As most know i had a few weeks post op with tooth pulling issues so as Dr. put it i was  2 weeks behind on my stages. I am now offically transitioning to stage 4. I was a little confused on what i should and shouldnt be eating go figure lol.. Dr. really sat down and went over alot with me today and actually wrote things down for me too. I came out of there with so muck education for sure.
Again DR MCPHEE ROCKS!!! I even told him i was actually a lil afraid to eat other food lol idk why maybe afraid to gain he really put me at ease.
Oh and im offically 200lbs WHOOT down 47lbs total  30lbs post op.

Been a while

Jul 20, 2010

Hello,

Well i have not been on much latley. I had issues with 2 different tooth pullings that have been a real nightmare.  I have been doing the best i can on eating, and getting fluids in now feeling alot better still waiting on last tooth to heal and swelling on that side of my face is almost gone WHOOT!!!. I cannot wait to get to the gym i would have been there had it not been for these teeth. But will be there real soon. I had my first experience this past weekend  with stuck, and omg it hurt thought i was gonna puke, actually wish i had lol... it took several hours but it finally passed.

I also went for my 1 month follow up and down 40lbs!!  . Told dr about my teeth issues and he said just keep sipping if i couldnt eat and thats what i have done.


Hubby Left today for Hawaii i was fine until he texted me from the plane that he misses me already and dont wait to long to join him in hawaii and i lost it and even made my 10 yr old son cry. I was doing so dam good lol! I need this house to sell fast so we can join him.

bad week thanks to a tooth!

Jul 09, 2010

Well i havent been on much this past week. I had a tooth pulled on on the 28th  and ended up with a dry socket can u say OMG painful it was worse than any surgery pain. and since we cant take anti inflamatory to help swellin i suffered so bad had to go everyday and have it packed with medication today i didnt have to have it seems to have clotted and doing better he gave me some gel to put on it if i need it. I prayed to god to help and he came through thank you god!!  I hope i continue to feel better so i can start to exercise since i was cleared to do so. I have been doing good on my eating and keepin a journal
still not all great with protien but manage today to drink 1 whole can of slim fast thats 20 grams of protein which is good for me.  I have manage to eat chicken breast minced small with gray and mashed potatoes, and i even made my own refried beans with no problems. I have done some fruit but since im having such protein issues my meals have been mostley that.

I want to say again we have the best support group anyone can ask for i could not have done all this alone thank you ladies for all the help and support i luv u gals like family!

Protien Update

Jun 28, 2010

Well i just had my first oz of egg whoot it was soooo good. Now its hope nelly likes it. I talked to my nutrionist today. She told me with all thats happining with my protien issues. Its not the milk its the artifical sweetners
i never could drink anything diet before because of them ugh why didnt i think of that. So she had me try 1oz of lactaid and wait 1hour and no pain no nothin so i can do that during the day to get in protien and i made pudding with it instead of the pre-made stuff  1 box has 2 cups of lactaid which is 16 gram of protien. And she told me i could have started eggs on friday .
So i will tell everyone dont wait to call if u have ? or need help she told me that she is there for us call anytime.
