coming along
Mar 08, 2009
Well I know it has been a while since I have posted anything on here, so I thought today was a good day to write somethings. Well I am 8 wks post-op now and down 41 pds so far, people tell me how good I am looking, but I don't really see it yet, but do notice it in my clothes. I am still wearing my old uniforms but they are baggy and some I have to pin up on the sides,but with money so tight right now I don't want to spend yet on new ones. I told hubby I will when I can no longer hold them up hahaha. I go next wk for my 9 wk checkup and I will have some questions I have been having some discomfort around my pouch area I am not sure if it is my pouch or the repair to my diagraphm. I don't really feel to much hunger yet, but am a little shocked that I can eat somethings that I have ate. I can eat a SMALL amount of salad, and 1 piece of wheat toast and most pastas. I have to cook for hubby so when I do I try things out, for the most it dtays down just as long as it is not more than 1/2 cup. I am having trouble getting my protein in and my water when I am at work, I just do not have the time to stop and get it in. I am having some hair thinning at the back and some on the sides and I know it is because I am not getting in enough protein, I try and eat fish 3-4 days a week, but thats getting old too. I can not handle any more cottage cheese yet, I got so burned out during the first few weeks that i just can not stomach it again yet. I eat rice crisps cereal for breakfast when at work, eggs seem to make me very gassy, so I try and not eat that whan I work hahaha. It seems like my pouch is "tight" in the AM and it seems like I can eat better in the afternoon times and early evenings. I don't know if ir is real or in my head, a question for my dr next week. Anyway I have had some "sad feelings" that I can't eat out yet or have any of the cake or cookies that everyone brings in to work, I would love to just have a small taste but I don't dare try it. I have had some issues with not being able to "eat" the kinds of foods I just to and feel a loss for that, but they say that it is a normal feeling and will go away. I did have a small stall about a week ago did'nt lose any weight for about 5 days, I know it is because I can not eat every 3 hrs or get in the water that I need to so that slows me down, but I work in an Emergency room and when we get busy I just don't have the time to get it all in and that is so frustrating at times. some days I don't even get my afternoon break if we are busy.So these are things I need to figure out I guess. Anyway other than these issues things are coming along good, gkad to see some warmer weather coming along,means I can get out a little more, I still try and go to the gym 3 days a wk but sometimes I am so tired after work I don't make it,being on my feet 8 hrs is hell some days. But I am going to have to make more of an effort to go maybe after resting a hr or so after work and with warmer weather coming hopefully that will help. SoI am gonna post a new pic of me, but I didn't do those ones that some do with their bigger clothes yet not ready for that yet. So I will post again soon on here.
