 I am exactly 2 months out from surgery and I am down 44pds. I feel so much better and my clothes are more comfortable. It was not an easy 2 months. Hormones were a pain in the butt and emotionaly I am finally feeling like i am "normal" again, I am wearing a loose size 20 down from a tight 26 and I have lost over 50 inches ( I measure everywere) I went from a waist of 54 inches to a waist of 39 inches. my biggest NSV is that when I return to nursing school in september I will no longer be wearing 3x (snug) scrubs. I can now fit in the 2x scrubs and they are lose and the xl scrubs can be buttoned and zipped but I can not move, so maybe before I start school I will actually be able to wear them. I can ride all the rides at the boardwalk with my son and I am actually looking forward to going to disneyland in a week and being able to not just be the person who waits in line all day so that everyone else can ride more rides. I am happy I am sleeved.

I have lost a total of 35 pds and all my clothes are loose and thats really cool, I do not miss food as much, I am bored alot , I think I thought of food more than I realized. I feel free, and my favorite NSV is that the more I lose the better sex is, hence the happier my husband is.:) I will post 6 wk pics next monday. I can wear my size 20 jeans in public and my 26 pants are way to loose.

Hunger??

Jun 14, 2008

All right, I am getting my fluids in barely, I am still lacking in proteins big time. Today my friend brought KFC and My mom brought costco pizza ( two of my favorites and it was their intention to be supportive, so I did not have to cook for the family, but oh my GOODNESS! I thought I was going to die for a while. All I wanted was to take a peice  of chicken and wrap it in a big chunk of skin and eat it. Sad.....depressing......sigh. O.K good news I am down 10lbs. in less then 1 week. On a final note, I can't wait to be off clear liquids. I mean can't wait. Oh and I can bend over to touch the ground without bending my knees outward.

This is my last week of eating as i have for most of my life. In one week I start my pre op diet and just drink protein shakes. I am truly enjoying every bite of food, and I am preparing to say goodbye to my food addiction as well as my diet coke addiction. I have 3 weeks of school left, and I am so going to enjoy summer. It seems with this blog that I start having so much in my mind, and being overwhelmed with feelings about this huge upcoming event, that I end up not really writing much at all. I just need to do well with the rest of the semester, I finally see the light at the end of the nursing school tunnel. I have never been under such constant stress and I am so tired of developing new coping methods to every new situation that I may go mad. Here is a nursing dx for myself:    risk for dietary insuffficency r/t inappropriate intake of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, d/t upcoming WLS.
