well two months out and nothing much has changed i dropped a few more lbs but still pretty stalled. im at 215.6 as of today. Im very happy that none of my clothes fit anymore. Im frustrated that I throw up a lot. its not because i over eat. If my tummy does not like something i INSTANTLY throw up. but besides that nothing much to update on (and PS im not eating the wrong foods!!)

So I UNFORTUNATELY experienced foamies for the first time ever. It was SOO aweful I make myself puke. I tried to eat a chicken hot dog.. NOT a good idea. it didnt sit well and as soon as I ate it I said "My tummy did not like that" and thats when they started. :( I feel a bit better now just feel sick!

im so happy to say that today marks one month since my VSG. This month has not been an easy one thats for sure. I lost a total of 20 lbs in this one month and an overall total of 21 inches.  I have been on a 2 week stall. When I was put on muchies I gained 7 lbs and im just starting to lose it now. I found out I am now lactose in tolerant and I have IBS now. so that kinda sucks.  I have been finding mushies quite boring and im not sure what to eat anymore besides turkey meatballs and eggs lol in 5 days they are going to put me on solids (just in time for thanksgiving). besides that I have been really nauseated still. I got some new tearing, pinching, pulling pain between my lower (biggest) incision and my right incision which my doctor said was normal and I also developed phantom pains. UGH!  I also have still been very tired. im not too sure if im suppose to be tired but im trying to be as active as I can. I go to school full time where I walk a HUGE campus and on top of that I go to the gym (although I was told only arms and legs no weights or abs so im stuck with the treadmill, elliptical, and the bike). If someone asked me if this was all worth it I would still say yes. my hardest part is not having alcohol anytime soon LMAO (kinda kidding its hard at 21 when all your friends invite you to a bar and your the loser sitting at the bar with a cup of water) well hopefully month 2 is better!!

okay well i am 3 days post op and i have had a rough tie so far. I have been throwing up and nauseous. im very bloated and irritated. Im really having a difficult time getting my 4 oz an hour in. ilI have a lot of gas pain but not much gas!. i must say its not all bad times for me. I don't want to sound like im always complaining about pain because im not. i know this will get better. i think i have a great attitude about this whole thing. I am so greatfull for my great support system. im never really in bed im up and waking around. I have a binder on my tummy which really helps with the pressure. I am eating gas-x like its nothing to help me. but i am really happy with the diet snapple.

Alright well today is ONE week until my surgery. I must say I have been having many difficulties with the pre liquid diet. I feel like im depriving myself but then I feel that its all a mind trick because my tummy has a mind of its own. I been trying so hard to lose weight but the last six months of weight loss coaching hasn't been a walk in the park. My weight was all over the place and I got very depressed. I finally got it under control and I didn't have a "LAST SUPPER" like most do before the surgery. which ill probably not regret later. I have so much hope but lately I have been feeling down. I have GREAT parents; one who supports this decision and one who doesn't but is being there for me either way because thats what I chose. My brother has really stepped up and has been a big help. my family is not a noobie to this types of surgery. my mom had RNY about 5 years ago and looks amazing. but even with all of that I feel like a lack of motivation. I just feel so hungry that I don't really want to eat anything. No broth No jello Nothing!! then when I do I feel sick to my stomach!, Im bored to death of this diet and I know I need to suck it up and do this for ME because this is the way I chose to Help me lose my excess weight. I am really trying to get my 64 oz of drinks in like water, powerade zero, crystal light. and what not. I bought UnJury chicken broth and it sucks so bad. I cooked it over and over and I MADE SURE IT WAS NOT 140* OR OVER and with my luck it was gritty and clumpy! it has a STRONG sfter taste of ham too lol,. I was just wondering if anyone has/had the same feelings I do and really just looking for a friend/support/motivation. well you will get my next post closer to sunday :) xoxo
