IT'SMYTIME

I am also a leap year sleeves. Been on solids for about 2.5 weeks. Feeling good. Still trying to find balance and not eat too much. I have been having head hunger because of acidity. I am working on fixing that with meds. I am down 20, been stalled for about 1 week. Need to start walking more. I feel like I am eating to much. Need to start measuring more. Been trying new recipes. Hope all is well. I am tired and going to bed.

So today, I reached onederland. I am three weeks out and I am there. Just there but there non the less. I am so happy with my progress, I am starting to have realistic goals for myself. I am starting to not miss food. I still have weird stomach gurgling and sometimes I think I am hunger but it is more like my stomach is empty. Then I start to eat and I think I am eats too much when I am not. It is funny how we train our own minds to look at food different. I still sometimes want to eat to quickly. I really have to stop what I am doing and concentrate of eating and nothing else.

Last month I was diagnosed with PCOS at 32 years old, which I had already known but the doctors would not listen to me. I have been overweight since I hit puberty. I played sports all year along and have always been very active. But have been over 200 lbs since I was about 13. I even played soccer and tennis in college. The last couple of years my weight has gone up and down but never below 200. My highest was 246. Last year while living in Thailand I left my husband and changed my life around. I started working out and running in races. Even with all that I was doing I could only lose about 15 pounds. Very frustrating when your are doing do much. So this school year I moved to Pakistan and met a doctor that listened to me. Because of my diganosis and the fact that I have always been heavy, she suggested that I get a vsg. She was the head of the hospital and said that the surgeon was one of the best. And he was. So personal and kind. Did not make me feel bad about myself. So a week later I was sleeved, yes a week later. The service was awesome. I was in the VIP suite and everything went well. One other girl was sleeved after me and we spent the night in the ICU standard for this hospital. So now I am about 2 & 1/2 weeks out and doing well. I am on vacation in Bangkok. My NUT asked me why didn't I wait until after Thailand and I told here that would make it a nth later and IT IS MY TIME. I am so ready to be skinny. I have lost about 15 pounds, things have slowed down but I think that is normal and have been reading other posts. I am walking, and following the diet??? liquids are hard to get all in. I just bought Protein but it is not very good I will suffer through because it is expensive. I want to loose another 2 lbs to be below 200 by 3 weeks out!!!! I am walking and doing what I should. I am a teacher in Pakistan and love my job, my daughter and soon to be new body!!!!

I actually had more mood swing before the surgery. I finally feel like I have a better idea of what my feelings are not that I am not eating to fuel my moods. I am not eating wheat which also helps my moods. When I ate wheat before the next day I was crazy. I think my daughter is noticing the difference. I think we all have to work on dealing with our new relationship with food. I am not missing food to bad. I think that is amazing. I am trying to find other things to fill my time. I can't sit and watch TV, all I want to do is eat while I am watching. So now I have to find things to do with my time. Like chatting on the computer, going for a walk. I love my new life, still adjusting but I hope that it continues

Thanks everyone!!!
