Saturday I was extremely constipated and had to have on Enema.  After on hour and a lot of struggle I went.  I’m not drinking enough water, I need to.  I feel full most of the time so I have to choose between food or fluids and usually choose food and then forget to drink my water.  My goal this week is to get in enough fluids.  I tried broiled chicken and it went down very well, yummy!  I tried tuna again, no luck, I guess is not for me.  It did not come up but It felt like it was stuck, I will not try again.  Well, I tried more vegetables this week and all went down well, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabage, cilantro, onion, and lettuce.

Great news I feet into a size 18/20 instead of 22/24.  Im happy because Im able to ware one of my favorite jeans again and pulling out my old clothes.  Yeepee!!!  Im a little concern, am I loosing enough?  I has slowed down a little I been loosing on overage of 2lbs\wk I guess that is healthy.  I started walking everyday!

Ok,  My old me trying to eat a taco bell gordita, why?  I was not even hungry.  Well I had a bite and that came up right away, I knew it was going to make me sick.  I’m glad I had this surgery, otherwise I do not know how I would be able to kick these old habits to the curb.  It’s liberating to know that my pouch said NO, NO, NO.  My pouch is smarter than me and I love her for it.  I’m beginning to really bond with her, what should I name her?  Hahaha!  I’m going to stick with my soups and protein shakes for now.  I cannot wait until my new vitamins arrive, I pray that they are tastier.  On Saturday we went out for Mexican food and the one shrimp I tasted came up, I had to run to the bathroom, I think the sauce did it, or maybe the margarita. I do not know but I was not hungry after that.  Quite comical I might say!!!  I see all these incidents as blessings because my stomach is smarter than me. What a relief, I cannot be trusted around food, before I would have ate the whole plate.

Well I did get my new vitamins Optisource and they are delicious.  They taste like candy instead of the chemical after taste the vista vitamins have.  I’m so blessed to have this group and all the great people offering their support, and advice, priceless. I been walking daily for half on hour during my lunch break.  I still get winded but I pray that changes soon. I’m so constipated today from all the protein (I think) I had some coffee and after 3 attempts everything that was stuck came out, so painful.  I been concentrating on the protein and not paying attention to the fiber.  I eat so little that there is no room for fiber I might have to get tablets or eat bean soup.  My stomach hurts from all the effort in the toilet. My buddy Jen said is normal that I will go from constipation to diarrhea and back and forth.

I went to GNC but they still do not have more Isopure, I need it, water alone makes me nauseous but I’m getting it down.  My engagement ring is a size (or maybe two) too big. I’m going to have it resized with in a few weeks. Wow!  At church I can clap with much ease nothing getting in the way, my breast.  I can also cross my arms comfortably and my clavicle bones are beganing to show.  Friends are beganing to ask me how much have I lost, they are noticing now. I praise you Lord for all these blessings, in your name I’m victorious and will continue to be.

This morning I woke up late and took some jeans from the closet.  I was on my way out when I realized the jeans did not used to fit me, the zipper would not even come up.  Thank you Lord for your blessings you are good to me!

I’m 3wks post op.  I went to the store to purchase cottage cheese, yummy yogurt, eggs and more soups.  I really checked the labels for sugar content and I just noticed that cottage cheese has the most protein, second is yogurt but most of them are packed with sugar so I have to be careful and third is sour cream.  I move to my full liquids\soft foods part of the diet. I have been on liquids for the past week witch included, milk and creamy soups, the milk went down good and the creamy soups, Campbell’s low fat clam chowder was the best, I pureed the potatoes.  I had my first taste of dumping with cheese broccoli Campbell ’s soup.  I had that for lunch and I was fine.  In the evening I did not pay attention and I ate to fast and to much.  All of a sudden my heart rate was raising, I felt dizzy and cramping.  I said to myself “don’t panic, take deep breaths and relax” that help a lot and it went away w\in 3-5 minutes, no vomiting.  Thank you God!  This helped me realize the importance of what and how much I put in my mouth at a time. 

Two weeks out and down 20

What on amazing difference.  I get home from work and my husbands says you are looking thin, you are very beautiful and yesterday he added “I’m so happy for you I can see it in your eyes, you are full of energy and very radiant.”  It made me feel so good. He has always given me compliments but this time it felt different.

My shoes are bigger, I can touch my clavicle bones and my neck is beginning to emerge.  My ring is loose and my fingers look longer.  My clothes are loose and fit so much better and I’m actually comfortable in them now. The best part is not being hungry or feeling deprived at all, my chicken broth fills me up quite well.  I’m drinking my water, taking my protein and vitamins.  I’m doing all that I can to recover from surgery and to get to the gym, I cannot wait to see the results once I start working out.  I know that I will feel even better.

Blessings and Smiles

I leave for tomorrow, wow I cannot believe it!!  It sounds unreal but it’s here.  I went home for lunch and did some laundry, the clothes that I will be taking with me tomorrow.  Well im not feeling to great today physically, emotionally I feel great, very excited. I think that im having caffeine withdrawals.  Oh well have to wing of it.  I cannot wait to get home tonight and back my luggage.

WELL IT’S OFFICIAL!! MY NEW BIRTHDAY WILL BE 03/07/07!!!

I’m very excited to announce that my surgery date is 03/07/07 a day after my husbands b-day and 3 days before our anniversary and exactly 4months before our religious wedding ceremony.  I did not plan it this way, The Lord has a plan and he is in control.  I feel that this is his way of telling me “ I’m with you and I want you to do this”.  I been thinking a lot about my surgery and weighing the risk but I know that God wants me to do this.  I feel that all my other diet plans failed to teach me that surgery is the right decision.  Had I been successful before I would not even consider surgery.  I do not call them failures but lessons learned to make this surgery a success.
