Ok Ive been slack about updating here but I am a baby and have been very whiney lately. Started getting really sick about 2 weeks out. I had an endoscopy on Monday so I hope that helps.  Im in the " What in God's name did I allow to be done to myself" phase.  I know I made the right decision. I just dont like to be uncomfortable. All I know is that I know everyone who reads this can sympathize and knows how I feel. I am learnig so much from this website and probably would go crazy without it.  I also decided Im going to go by my scales because I like their readings better than the ones at the dr's office lol.  Ive lost about 40 lbs since I started the liquid diet 2 weeks before  surgery and I think around 30 since the surgery. So thats good. I did notice a plataeu already at about 3 weeks!!! But I think it was because I was so sick and couldnt keep anything in me.  Oh well. 

My surgery went perfect. I was up and walking around 3 hours later. My surgeon stopped by to see me that afternoon and said I didnt look like someone who had had surgery!  I only had a little pain the day of the surgery then after that it jus tkind of felt "uncomfortable"  Now the bad... altho I have not vommited, I feel nauseous 24/7 and no matter what I do it doesnt go away, I can hardly get down the protein shakes. They just disgust me. Im haveing a really hard time with that. I dont think Im getting enough protein but I dont know what to do. I have tried so many different kinds but they all make me feel horribly nauseated and Im going broke buying them. They arent that cheap. Can somobody give me some suggestions??? I get sicker and weaker each day. Maybe it will be better when I can start having some soft foods.  Another weird thing is, the Dr told me my pouch only holds @ 2 ozs, but I feel like mine is stretched already (??????)  Can it happen that quick? I can drink about 4 - 5 ozs of water an hour and never seem to get that heavy "full" feeling. But if I drink protein I do get uncomfortable really quick. I guess water jsut drains right thru?   Well, I hope I will be writing some better stuff in here next week. I hope I start feeling better soon or I feel like I will really start to regret this. All this and I have only lost about 4 lbs. ANd thats probably jsut all the fluids they gave me in the hospital.  I need some encouragement!!!

Well, it's almost here. In 7 days I'll start a new life. Im nervous but ready to get it behind me.  This 2 week liquid diet sux but Im sticking to it somehow. As soon as I get some pics of me I will post them here,. I just went thru 100 pics and realized  I hide in every one!!  I dont enjoy getting my picture made.Hope that changes soon!
