Almost a year since my last update
Hello out there in bariatric land. I haven't seen my surgeon in a year. I was stalled and he wasn't happy with me. My nutritionist doesn't call me. I just started losing again, i guess this moving around thing works. I'm down to about 210. I just had to get a size 18 pants and they fit weird. I've been working on my mental health. As we know, being overweight usually comes with low self esteem and depression. I've been going to group therapy, and individual. Trying to come to the root of my problem. When the weather was warmer i was walking before my appts, when i arrived early. I take 3 flights of stairs to their office. I think thats whats making me lose now. I stopped taking my vitamins, just...not sure why, lazy, depressed, thought i was okay. I've since started taking them again. I might be on iron pills forever. I still have the mentality that i'm gross and fat, just now with saggier skin. But like i said, i'm in therapy. Sooo...thats whats going on. Oh and i posted in the forums about a weird sensation in my bellybutton region.

Still around
Hello to anyone that still wonders. I'm down to 235ish lbs. I'm on iron pills. My hair has been thinning/falling out for the past 3 months, so i'm on biotin. I REALLY need to work out. Apparently this surgery didn't cure my lazy. D:

2nd post op doc visit
I've lost about 12 lbs since surgery. Meh. My surgeon told me to walk for 2 hours a day, and i should lose 40lbs by January. I feel like i'm losing too slowly.

Yeah, i'm still around
A_New_Lily commented on A_New_Lily's blog entry in Rainicornicopia: An Unabridged History of the RainicornsOh i have no idea. I see my doc in 2 weeks and i'm going to ask him for new ones. I'm not sure if these helped much anyways.

Yeah, i'm still around
I haven't really been on here lately. I've been depressed. I should be happy with the surgery and all, but i just don't care.. Maybe i need better meds. I've been down all week. Not walking, avoiding most people. Bleh. At least i have therapy today, lol.

Healthy Ravioli Recipe
Chicken and Spinach Paleo Ravioli http://cupcakesomg.blogspot.fr/2012/08/paleo-ravioli.html Kinda funny because the blog is named "Cupcakes OMG" Check right under the recipe for other healthy ones, like her "Caulif-redo Sauce".

I want some damn coffee!
A_New_Lily commented on A_New_Lily's blog entry in Rainicornicopia: An Unabridged History of the RainicornsI hate decaf, lol. I just want coffee. I'm fine with no soda or beer. I'm almost 30 days out so it's been awhile since i had any.

A_New_Lily commented on A_New_Lily's blog entry in Rainicornicopia: An Unabridged History of the RainicornsI'm a little over 3 weeks out. I'm going to get a damn espresso maker so it's only 2 oz of coffee at a time. lol

I want some damn coffee!
It's noon and i am so tired. I haven't had coffee in over a month. I wonder if i can have a 5 hr energy, it's loaded with vitamins. B6 - 40mg B12 - 500 mcg Folic Acid - 400 mcg

I hope i'm not skinny.
I don't want to be a size 4. 16 would be fine. I went to a halloween store and found a tank dress i really really want,(for everyday wear) but i have no idea what size to get it in. I'm afraid it won't be around when my body hits it's right size.

Today is my first day of "mushies".
A_New_Lily commented on A_New_Lily's blog entry in Rainicornicopia: An Unabridged History of the RainicornsMy nut isn't even calling me. I just have the booklet to go by. It says: Soft or pureed vegetables, well cooked. That's it. :\

A_New_Lily commented on A_New_Lily's blog entry in Rainicornicopia: An Unabridged History of the RainicornsOh, i am on it still. Crushing the pills makes me want to throw up. I stopped it for a few days. I guess ill just have to keep taking them.

21 days out & i have acid? I had that hernia fixed...
A_New_Lily commented on A_New_Lily's blog entry in Rainicornicopia: An Unabridged History of the RainicornsI was told it was the reason i had acid. The muscles connecting my esophagus and stomach were letting the contents of my stomach come back up.

Today is my first day of "mushies".
http://imgur.com/zdYqs0t Soo...this is breakfast.. Eggbeaters, 2 petite brussel sprouts, 1 piece of cauliflower, 2 petite asparagus and spice. I'm not even half way done, i don't think i'm going to finish it. Lighter to show scale, lol. (No, i don't smoke.) Edit: Ehh...asparagus was prolly a bad choice, i have to chew it forever.

21 days out & i have acid? I had that hernia fixed...
I feel a little acid at the back of my throat. My hiatial hernia was fixed, i'm confused. Maybe 21 days isnt long enough to heal? Also, having problems getting in fluids, protein and food. One is always lacking, and it's fluids. Well, and food. I only eat two or three times a day.

NSFW! Don't Look if You're Squeemish!

Posted about pain
http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/92717-3-weeks-out-sharp-pain/ I can press on the area and it won't hurt. I'm confused. I'm also scared/paranoid, i got dressed. I'd really like to go back to bed though.

5 more days of puree
Then i get mushy stuffs. I'm healing well i think. I bought some Mederma because one of the wounds looks like it's going to be a huge scar. Constipation has started, woot woot. I'm still having pain using my stomach muscles. (Sitting up) I also have pain in a new place. It's by an incision but its not coming from it. It's not red or irritated. It seems to happen when i stand or sit.
-
Meh
A_New_Lily commented on A_New_Lily's blog entry in Rainicornicopia: An Unabridged History of the RainicornsI was really hopeing i could get them on foodstamps. The only protein i can buy on it is muscle milk, i figure it's worth a try. Unless theres another bar thats liked as much as Quest.
-
Meh
Was out at stores for almost 4 hours and the gas in my shoulder is still there, what the hell. I bought firming cream, compression wraps and checked a number of stores for the Quest Bars. Looks like GNC really is the only place that has them.
