Hi, I'm having the he-be-jee-bee's this morning... I have goofed and scared to death I'm doing things all wrong and this gastric bypass isnt going to do what it needs to do... Ok.. Im in week one... surgery was May 31.. here's the goofs... doing the little bit of broth Not a goof, but I have eaten some pudding and didnt realize I cant eat that for another week or so and also found out that it has given me the "runs" Food looks terrible but in an hour I can drink a 17 oz bottle of water and the goal is only 4 to 6 ... I try to limit to six oz an hour, but honestly I forget and drink the whole thing.... then I scare myself going "Ardie you're stretching your pouch..." That's all I need... Last night I took a couple of Teaspoons of Tylenol 3 for pain... I'm a stomach sleeper and man when I wake up and relize I'm on my belly it's a nightmare of pain... Yikes.. It (tylenol)went down wrong hit the esophagus.. (can't spell a dang thing) I coughed, and dumped and coughed for a solid hour my insides are killing me my throat hurts and Im scared to death I did something horrible. Food looks awful, and water doesnt look that good me this morning either. I know I should have waited for a couple of days to weigh, but this morning didnt loose a thing... I think starting up with excersize is doing the "building muscle is heavier than fat" type thing going on, and I'm wanting this to go faster too! Just never satified... I'll be honest I'm not that far out and I'm fighting that feeling of "well just like everything else... Failure" again. Just need some help, and to calm my over ripe nerves Ardie

Ardie, Just wanted to give you a hug and let you know that everything will be okay. Try not to worry and take the tylenol for your pain because being in pain can make for a miserable day! Just take one step at a time and don't weigh for a while...give yourself a break. You've had major surgery for goodness sake. Make sure you're pudding is sugar free and if you cheat a little just eat a teaspoon at a time. Take care, Kelli

Hey Kelli. Thanks for the little pep talk.... Man oh man my sister told me to hang on for the bumpy ride in the begining... and I think she was right! Nice to get a hug now and again! I've just got handed my life back and just want to keep it going! I know I've got the rest of my life but I have lost about 15 years and I have alot to make up! But alas Rome wasnt built in a day! Again thank you for your encouragement! I know I'll be asking for it again! Take Care Ardie

OK ARDIE what did we switch places or what? When I emailed you yesterday I was wigging out. I too can drink water like you do. I am making sure that I am not gulping but I am not having a problem getting it in....so OF COURSE I freak out. I am not so sure that the pudding gave you the runs because if you refer to my latest email I too have explosive green smelly ****! THIS NOT A FAILURE and we will be fine. just do this one day at a time and we will make it through this losing side till we hit our goals! hang in there lesa
