Almost 4 months out.
Feb 23, 2010
So, I am almost four months out. I will be next Wednesday. Anyway, a lot has changed. I feel so much better physically. I ran 3 miles on the treadmill last Saturday. I haven't been getting to the gym as much as I would like to lately though. I have to work on that.
I feel like I can eat more than I should be able to. I measure all of my food and eat only what my Nut tells me to but I don't really feel full. I don't even know if I feel anything at all. Maybe the nerves are not healed all the way yet? Who knows?
I have my 3 month Dr visit on Monday the 2nd. I am looking forward to that. I don't know if I will be able to talk to the Nut when I am there but maybe I can make an appointment. I know I will be able to talk to the nurse so maybe she can tell me why it feels like I don't have a pouch. Even though I don't feel full I don't feel hungry at all. I guess that is a good thing!

Lost almost 2 more pounds
Dec 01, 2009
So, I weighed myself today and I have lost 2 more pounds since yesterday. It was that time of the month and now I am done so maybe that was the reason for the slow loss. I will take 3 pounds in a week anyday! I am not going to weigh myself until I get weighed at the Dr's office next tuesday. I have to go in to see the nurse to make sure I am doing ok.
I have to talk to my nurse about one of my incisions. I have an incision in my navel and there is a small part that isn't healed. It is really hard to keep it dry because my belly flaps over my navel. I try to keep gauze in there to keep it dry. It doesn't seem infected or anything so that is good.
On the emtional side of things I guess they are going ok. This surgery has opened my eyes to a lot of things that I was using food to cover up. Food used to be my friend. I looked to food when I was sad, happy, angry....just everything. Now I have to find different ways to deal with things. I am not going to lie I have really wanted to smoke a cigarette and I haven't smoked in over 10 years. If it were not for the fact that I would probably end up with an ulcer I probably would smoke. I know that is bad but I feel like I have lost my best friend. The fact that food meant so much to me makes me want to cry. How could I have put such importance in an energy source? Food is something that I NEED now. It is a chore to eat. I don't look forward to it all day long. I just eat because I don't want to loose any muscle or hair ya know?
This journey is just starting and has been harder emotionally than I ever thought it would. I truely thought I was fat because I ate too much. I never knew it was because I had made food my life partner. So far, though, my relationship with my husband has been getting stronger because HE is my life partner.
I am done rambling for now!

Weight Loss Slowing:(
Nov 30, 2009
So my weight loss is really starting to slow down. I lost 1.2 pounds in the last six days. I knew that the big loss would soon slow but I wasn't ready for it to be done so quickly. Oh well, the good thing is I know it will continue to go down. I have lost 23 pounds since my surgery day and tomorrow with be 4 weeks out. I know I shouldn't be compaining....
