Stalled

I know that this stall business is a way of life for us but that does not mean I have to like it. I haven't lost a pound in a while and I have been exercising like crazy. I know that we will lose inches in this process but I guess I am chained to the scale for goodness sakes.

2 Months Down And A Lifetime To Go...

I am slowly but surely telling people about my surgery and I cannot expess enough the same answer to the same question. How long do you have to eat like this? Answer- Forvever, I didn't go through all this pain and pay all this $$$$ to gain weight all over again. And stop inviting out to dinner, let's go walking or bowling or watch a movie instead. I know that friends will come and go during this journey and I am ok with that. I believe that the true friends stick with you no matter what.

No Not The Shoes, Not Yet...

So I'm excited about the fact that I am losing weight. Less than 10 more lbs to go before I am below 200. (i'm excited about that turning point) Now let's talk about my shoes. I knew that there was potential for my feet to shrink a bit but I didn't think it would happen so soon. I am only 7 weeks out. I was trying to get the wear out of a few of the cutest sandals I bought pre-season but they flopped around on my feet today almost like clown shoes.   Of course I got rid of so many shoes

Going Into My 6Th Week

Things are going pretty good. I am working out (still waiting for that 6 week cutoff so that I can weight lift) but I am doing everything else. It is amazing to learn how much I ate just because. It is easy to see especially when you are dining out. I see my friends eating and cleaning their plates and I am satisfied after a few bites. It feels really great. My friends are not as weirded out by the whole thing as I thought they would be which is good.   Today has been kind of different

Better Day

So my blood pressure is back to normal. Thank goodness!!! I am feeling pretty good. This is my 4th week post op. The weight is coming down slowly. I still find it hard to get all the protein and liquids in but I am trying really hard.   On to the next week...

Blood Pressure - 3 Weeks Since Surgery

So my blood pressure was great while I was in the hospital, then the dr. told me to stop taking my medication. The next week it yo-yo'd up and down from normal to high. Did the same the next week and at my post op visit. One day it was extremely high but I figured it was the end of the day and maybe I was just stressed. So I was put back on my meds a week ago. Normally my pressure is fine with the medication. This week it has been kind of borderline. This morning I checked it and it was s

Two Weeks Since Surgery - Back To Work

I thought that today was going to be a tough one. I have been dreading going back to work but had no choice since I am a single parent. So last night after spending hours doing homework and taking tests, I packed up my first lunch since 2006 (I never took lunch to work) and picked out an outfit that wasn't too big but not too small prepared for my first day back.   So far today has not been so bad. People ask questions about me losing weight but not really prying...yet. I kind of just ate

Day 8

So, it has been a tough week for me. There were so many highs and lows. It's hard being a single, independent woman because you are so used to relying on yourself for everything. No one came to visit me when I left the hospital so that sucked pretty bad. Maybe it's because everyone else is used to me doing for me period.   Food - I miss chewing everything. Gum, meat, vegetables, whatever. I lot of the protein drinks that I bought pre op taste awful but because I spent so much money I am

Countdown 10 Hours To Go

Today was a tough one. I stayed home from work due to the clear liquid only diet. I was afraid that I would be a little less than friendly so it was probably best. I spent today drinking and drinking until I chicken brothed myself sick. I feel prepared and unprepared at the same time. Will I remember all the instructions that I read over and over again for the past 3 months? Doubtful. Hoping that I don't fail. Fearful that they will go in and say this liver is still too large, close h

Just A Mediocre Day

Today was my first day back at work since taking 3 days off for vacation. It seems like a small whirlwind for me since I was able to return back to work just to leave again on Thursday for the big day. I have only told a handful of my closest coworkers just because I am a pretty private person. But if someone asks I just tell them. I do not care about the looks or the surprise on their faces. I get that enough from my immediate family.   I had my pre op today and it felt weird. There was

I Have A Date...

This is my first attempt at blogging so I hope I don't ramble on. I received a great birthday present yesterday morning. My date! I am scheduled for May 25th.   I feel scared, nervous, excited and nauseous all at once. I am a single parent and I do not really feel like I have the emotional support that I need. I may even be at the hospital alone, just have someone drop me off and pick me up the next day.   I don't think people understand the reasoning behind my actions but I cannot wai
