Weighting...I mean Waiting...

Still stuck around 225lbs...
Waiting sucks... On the bright side my work clothes and jeans seem slightly looser, I'm measuring and not losing inches so I'm not sure how that's possible. But it's something to be excited about. My Appt with my surgeon is August 10th for my one month (really 6 weeks) follow up. I have added some vegtables and hard boiled eggs to my diet. Basically because hard boiled eggs are alot easier to pack and carry as snacks then scrambled.

I know that this surgery is a TOOL but in my head I feel like I should still be losing alot faster. Because of my semi-low BMI (40) to start I can't expect it to come off like it would have it I went with the RNY. I do NOT regret my surgery in the least. I love my sleeve and I'm in love with the future when I'll start losing again...can't wait...wish it was here...lol

I have found that accordingtoeggface blog is awesome for receipes and how to turn just about any food into a bariatric friendly food. Love it I tried the Greek Deviled Eggs for lunch today and they are great! So yummy!

Here's hoping everyone else is losing like crazy and to pass me some good vibes to get me started again!

Long time no blog...

So here's the deal I'm frustrated I somehow gained 3lbs I'm not going to lie there was like 3 days in there where I had a non-listed snack but honestly its not like I ate a whole box of cookies or an entire bag of chips I just have been craving carbs and like 5 pretzals kills that craving for me but other than the very very occasional indulgence ive been a good girl!!! So why have I gained 3lbs!?!?! I've read the forum on gastricsleeve.com people say you stahl and gained weight is from retaining water because I'm not putting enough in so my goal is to focus more on my water intake starting today I swear I will drink all 64oz of my water daily!!! If I gain anymore weight I think I'm going to cry! I had this surgery to get rid of this kind of frustration but its not over I'll keep on trucking!

11days out feeling pretty good

First day back at work feeling pretty good. I only stayed a half day came home and took a nap lol! But still wasn't feeling too worn out. The pain in my belly has become more of an ache. Still having some issues with my bowels.... But I can deal people say it doesn't last forever. I'm down 20lbs since pre op diet. Which is pretty awesome 20lbs in 3 weeks is the most I've ever lost ever! I'm looking forward to eventually working out which is a first but for now I've been told I just get to walk till next month. I did try some Kroeger (Bakers brand) carbmaster yogurt they have a carrot cake flavor that is oh so yummy! Unfortunatly I can only eat half so there is only 4.5 gms of protein thetr but eventually I should be able to work up to eating a little more yogurt for goodness sakes! Just not eating other things that are bad things!

Misery....post op day 6

Ever done something that you thought was a really great idea only to be miserable with your decision later... Today I feel nothing but regret, I can't stop stop thinking how I made such a bad choice I'm sure like everything else it will pass once the pain, less than normal bm.s andall liquid diet passes but today I'm in mourning over my stomach. I thought being a week out from surgery I would start to feel like my old self again maybe even have a little energy, how wrong I was I don't even have a desire to drink liquids muchless my protein I should be attempting to get down... I simply want to lay in bed and cry so today is officially my pity party day, thos is for everyone that thought I couldn't do this congradulations I have a feeling that you were right. So I'm off to bed to wallow in self doubt over if this was really a good idea or not and then cry when I realize it doesnt matter because I'm stuck with it.....
