I'm Hungry, or something like it.

So surgery was Dec. 14th. I was losing some serious weight before surgery and in the days after while I was still feeling bad. But, I have started feeling alot better and things have changed. I gined two pounds back AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!   I decided to be really structured so I got my book out last night and I was a good girl this morning. I made two eggs with some cilantro on top with some grapes and half of an orange. I waited 30 minutes after eating and enjoyed a cup of coffee. I th

Three days after surgery

HOLY MACARONI! All and all things came off without a hitch. There are a few things that I wish they would have explained more or done differently.   1. If you have a hiatal hernia repair there is a chance you will be in a significant amount of discomfort.   2. There is more than one way to relieve gas than walking. A. Sit upright in bed and rock back and forth or in a cirular motion. B. Go to the bathroom, the natural posture will help your body relieve itself of gas. C. Sit in a rocking c

Today I look at some people's goal weights and its what I used to weigh when I thought I needed to lose weight. This morning I had lost another pound and I was so excited. Then I got tickled at myself. I was excited because I weigh 208 lbs. Ten years ago I would have been horrified to weigh 208 lbs.

Are you kidding me with this diet?

So, I'm on day eight of the pre-op diet. Overall I guess I'm ok. I'm just GRUMPY! Not being able to eat without restriction really sucks. Basically, I'm hungry.
