What PITA this has become!
BAKING! I loved baking! I sold my baking. At some point I had over 100 dozen in my freezer. I was going to get a pastry degree for goodness sake!!! I'm baking a few dz. Chocolate chip and it's like I'm being forced. I had a tiny bit of dough and chip on my finger, I looked at it and flung it the junk. Can't wait to make the meatballs though, lol. Amazing how much the stomach has changed the mind!

I had a taco. Sort of
My kids took me out to lunch. Happily they didn't have to waste money on my meal. It was taco day. I ordered 1 hard shell with sour cream cheese, lettuce and tomato. I ended up only eating along the sour cream/meat line and removed all the shell above it. So less than half of a whole taco. No problems it tasted wonderful. I know the person waiting on me was thinking wth? I finally enjoyed being out at a restaurant, I felt comfortable. For once I didn't think about food. I enjoyed the conversations MORE than I paid attention to food. This is so major for me. I was the only one that cleaned their plate when out to eat. Now I'm the only one leaving food on my plate (taco), giving it away or boxing it up. I may eat a little. Dog has better chances with the leftovers, lol.

I feel like a deflating balloon!
Do you have days you just look down and it feels like some stuck a pin in you? Or a slow leak in a tire? Something looks/feels so different all of a sudden. I almost feel...small..kind of fragile almost (trust me, I am neither). I notice I'm not comparing myself to a others quite as much. It was unusually warm yesterday and I'm always freezing. I'm outside in jeans and a tee. I didn't feel self conscious it was weird. I didn't go grab something to hide my sagging...I just enjoyed the air!

1. I have a housemate. 2. He is male. 3. We share a kitchen where I weigh myself. D. Never gonna happen. E V E R Z. (Laughing yet?) I'm too busy adding layers, hats, gloves, comforters, pets. He feels bad and tries to smoke me out of the chair by ripping off articles of clothing and pitching them when he turns up the furnace.

Stomach Bug since surgery?
Seriously though. I have vomited almost immediately 5 times. 1 too many spoons full. It was the same coming up as going down. It was not the bug. I have no advice. Just color commentary.

Injured my knee
Take a break. I have MS. I took 2 falls in one week. One coming in the door, one going outside over a step....out the same damn door. I haven't been able to get one my knees in years. Guess how I landed?! I've always had decent legs even at 300 plus pounds. They are wearing badges of honor. One across my tattoo that reads "never give up." I don't want you to give up either. I want for you to give in a little

Eating pizza after VSG
Honestly for me, I was 3 mths out. Had a slice. 3 bites was all I could handle. 2 months later I tried again...road trip...teenagers. It took me six hours to make it to the crust. I gave up. Pizza kicked my ass.

Hunger
I get very nauseous. 8.5 mths post op.

Lying about what type of surgery..
I'm sorry. I worked with a lady who I'm positive had lapband but never asked, never confirmed. She had severe acid reflux and she had "stomach surgery."

I want to...
Be able to have the strength in my legs to snap shut the leg thingy on my recliner. I no longer struggle to get out of my recliner but I just don't have the strength to shut it. What are some of your unusual goals/victories? I'd like to learn how to rollerblade. I'd like to fly without a seatbelt extender. I want to go to Cedar point and fit on all the rides. I want to race a go-cart.

Lol
I'm totally okay with it. It's frustrating but it doesn't deter me one bit. Just roll with the punches.
