Good news, bad news....

I got an email from Dr. Roller yesterday and he assured me that he does seperate the rest of the stomach from the pouch when he does the RNY.  He said the pouch is so small that it would be really hard to see on a CT scan especially if you don't know what you are looking for. 

The bad news is that I am struggling really hard with my eating.  The stress in my life is finally catching up with me and I have been grazing my way through the day.  Since I decided to go back to logging every bite I put in my mouth, all I can think about is food.  WHY???  It's not like I get hungry during the day.  This is crazy.  I have to regain control so I don't lose everything I have lost.  I will not let this monster get the better of me.  Today, I am going to work without any money so I won't be tempted to buy any cokes or nuts from the machine.  I have planned out my lunch and snack for the day and I vow to stick to it.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Oh yeah, and the exercise...  even after I saw how much I went over my goal for the day, I sat there on the couch and said I need to hook up the Wii and at least do some stepping while I watch tv for the exercise and sat there like the lazy lump that I've become and didn't do it anyway.  I'm confessing all.  Today my goal is to Wii for at least 30 minutes this evening.  I'll let you know how it goes...

So glad you talked to the doctor, it will put your mind at ease.

I have an ear infection and saw my PCP yesterday. It's official, I've gained 11 lbs since June. His response?  "You look great". AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Now, your Wii.....I got one for Christmas, but I don't have the game you're talking about (walking). Which one is is?  I'm going to get the Wii fit plus this weekend, does it come with that?

I don't know.  The one I like best is the first one.  It's called Wii Fit.  It's even cheaper now that the newer versions are out.  The Yoga on Wii Fit is more my speed too. (for clumsy people).  I also have the Wii My Fitness Coach.  It seems pretty good too,  I got it right around the time my gallbladder went south.  That's when I broke my routine and got lazy and nev er got back to it.  Val and I were just laughing about me sitting here avoiding my 30 min on the Wii I set a goal to do today lol.  I am getting to it right after I finish here.  Promise   This is going to be me in about 30 minutes,    

I'm in such a hurry to get to my Wii  (which looks pretty much like my Wii persona), that I forgot to ask how you are feeling.  I know what you mean about the doctor.  I think that someone who hasn't been there doesn't understand our motivation not to get there again.

I have been having the same worry and did not tell anyone and still have not told anyone until I typed this to you! What the hell are those noises on the left lower quad but  the old stomach right?  I don't know if I have my appnt for my checkup next month or not, guess I need to check and freaking go wether I want to or not huh? And he is not going to like my weight at all! ****!  I need to stop eating too and I am not.
