ok question from the twilight zone

Once again a weird thing going on with me... So i am crazy buzy lately...working 2 jobs, i hit a racoon and busted my car so had to get that fixed, kid sick, professional boy chaser...not to mention gastric by pass poster child in my small town lol..... SO.... i am not hungry now i know this would be like a WOOHOO moment for most but i am so busy i forget to eat...now i have really never been NOT hungry. and i dont mean not hungry i mean i can not eat i feel grossly full just on water. i had a slim fast drink and i wanna hurl ( i took the drink cause i was not getting enough vitamins and stuff) i cant even seem to get my liquids in cause i get so full on so little. very weird. at least for me. NOW granted I have been super busy and stuff but come on. Yesterday i had a bowl of oatmean, a bow of soup and a fruit cup...all day. i was just so busy and then when i went to eat i couldnt.....maybe i am in a phase but right now i wanna go purge casue i am over stuffed on a dang slim fast drink and i am never like this. ANYWAY how are all you? I can not belive at our year is gonna be here soon for me Feb 2 how fast i flew by. I was hoping to be at goal but now i am not sure i will hit goal. i think maybe i put my goal to low...i am 25 pounds away. but in a size 8 (Atlhough i got a 7 in jrs hehe and they were jeans!!!) but mostly 8 very satisfied here. cant wait for plastics i am thinking august. my life has compleatly changed from what i wear to what i eat to how i think about food and myself and others. hope you all are doing good! OUR BIRTHDAYS ARE COMING !!!!!!! J

Hi Julie, I had a goal to lose 100lbs, I wasn't given a goal from my dr though. He said probably 80% of what I needed to lose. I don't know if this is making sense. I have about 25-30 to go. I need to tone and get my body moving once I'm healed. This time I feel so big, bloated and swollen. I'm sure its from the iv's in the hospital. As for our anniversaries, my date 2/22 holds a special place in my heart, this is my mom's b-day and she died 3 years ago. I miss her. Keep up the good work. I cannot wait to see how negative the people are at work once I came back, they are the type of women who ask you questions then they talk about you.

DO NOT let negativity get you down....stand tall and know that complications can happen to anyone who has any kind of surgery even tonsils out...so there lolol get better soon!! J

I had MAJOR complications and almost died...all the nurses thought I was dead in the ICU because I came down to them BLUE....I was in the hosptal for so long...well-it seemed like forever!!! SCREW those people. YOU had the balls to do something about your weight and health-even if there's so many risks involved. BUT..............thank GOD for winning the lottery and being able to have this surgery!!! I am in a size 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! I weigh 132 on a doctor's scale with clothes and shoes!!!! Is this even real??? I'd rather live well and live short than live long and miserable.

I notice that this past week I've gagged a few times from eating too fast. I never really did that before because I was more careful. I think I am feeling TOO normal and sometimes I don't slow down enough when I start to eat. I can't say I'm NOT hungry at all, but I follow the pouch rules and I really don't think about eating a lot. Sometimes I just WANT to chew something, and sometimes I'm genuinely hungry. I have no problems getting liquids in, I am near 100 ounces a day. I am also about 23 pounds away from goal. I do have a lot more extra skin then I did the last time I lost, but I also see a good amount of fat, too. Sometimes I think that I probably need to make my goal lower, we shall see.

Julie, I have days like that...I am about 70 pounds from my goal...I stalled for a couple of months but after 170 pounds off...what do I expect? I wanted it to keep rolling off ....now I really have to work it off. I am down 172 pounds nowloving my new and improved self. I am back to logging my food in, I didn't do that for awhile and it does make me more aware of what I am putting in my mouth. I was snacking on peanuts and not eatng my meals so much. So I am hitting it stringently again. I wanted to be closer to my goal than I am but not really putting the pressure on. I work out a lot and eat pretty well...so I think I am just trading fat for muscle which weighs more...thus the slow down of the scale. Gonna toss that thing...it's making me nuts...and that's not a long trip.
