7 week update
Oct 10, 2011
Hey friends :-)I'm 7 weeks out today. i was in a stall for 2 weeks!
But i weighed in this morning and was down 3 pounds. I hope i keep losing, and have broken that dreaded stall! I am doing pretty good. I started in a size 28pants/3X shirt. I'm currently wearing very baggy 26's, so i think i need to go down again to a 24. and a 2X shirt fits well now. I know a couple of my slider foods and am avoiding them. great thing is about this tool, even if i wanted a million ounces of my favorite food, i can only take 2 bites and im stuffed. that was my problem before surgery; portion size. i threw up my lunch today. i was babysitting and had 2 small organic chicken nuggets. didnt even finish the 2nd one before i felt sick and ran to the toilet and threw up 4 times. 
yuck! Thats the 2nd time I have thrown up eating breaded chicken. My stomach just cant handle it right now. No more of that for awihle! Sweets make me feel sick, which i thought was only the case for RNYers. But, its a good thing cause it makes me not wanna eat them
. I joined Curves, and im trying to go at least 3 days a week. My parents are going on our annual vacation to the mountains (which i havent been on in like 2 or 3 years) in a couple weeks. I wanna go but i dont have enough money to go
. Even if i did, i still wouldnt be able to ride most of the rides at my weight and eating would be difficult. Im excited to go next year though, where i was ride every ride as many times as i want, and not worry about my weight stopping me. I'm getting my vitamins in and tryin to get as much protein in as i can. I feel nausiated right now, but i'm not sure why. i am constantly tired.
i figured i would have more energy at this far out, but the last 2 weeks i have gotten easily drained. i guess my body is tryin to get used to only consuming small amounts of calories and the fast weigh loss. hopefully ill get some enery back soon. other than that, everything is going great. i've lost almost 50lbs in 7 weeks. i think im doing pretty good.
thats 50 pounds that wouldve taken months to take off before surgery, and i woulda pout it right back on in a couple months plus another 20. I thank God, my surgeon, and family for this wonderful tool i have been given to make myself healthy and happy :-) next week, once i get my new camera, ill post 2 month pictures :-)
