4.13.11
Apr 13, 2011
Today I woke up early before work to go to the gym for the 2nd time since signing up Monday! I was so excited and energetic to start my day off the RIGHT way! I went to the gym and did 1.5 miles at 2.5 incline and 2.8 speed, my goal was 2 miles today or at least try some weights but I just felt so light headed and weak I had to come home. Before the gym attempted at a shake and got maybe a quarter in and then while I was on the treadmill drinking Isopure. So when I got home I went to have a piece of salmon and could not get it down I felt SOOOO nauceous like the worst I've felt since surgery. I just felt horrible and couldn't get anything down to the point where I ended up having to call out of work because time had passed and it takes me so long to get ready anyways this just stopped me in my tracks!! So I called the DR and they called in meds for the naucea which has helped but I feel just so pissed and disgusted that my day was taken over by feeling so shitty! I would swear I was pregnant ( I'm not ) b/c every morning I feel pretty similar but today was by far the worst!! I pray this doesn't happen again! I think I may be doing too much too soon with exercise...how slow do I need to start off?? Well now I'm going to attempt to eat something wish me luck!

Waiting to feel like myself again....
Apr 12, 2011
I am 2 1/2 weeks our from surgery and I feel like I've been going through this for sooo much longer! I'm officially down 30 lbs which is AMAZING and I recognize and appreciate that but at the same time I just feel miserable kind of. I'm not depressed or anything I just don't feel like myself. I know I'm focusing too much energy on what I need to have and what I can't have anymore. I try not to focus on this but I mean it is the biggest thing thats happening in my life right now. Sometimes I'm just disgusted and would rather to not even bother eating because it's so much energy to measure and figure out protein and all that crap. I know I made the right decision but some times but today I'm thinking I don't know if I can do this FOREVER and then I feel like guilty and like I'm the worst WLS person ever! Now that I'm back at work I feel better that I'm doing my hair and makeup and dressing up and I'm gettin my nails done and tanning again (i know thats horrible) so I'm trying to do things that make me feel better and more like myself but there's this inner demon I'm fighting! ugh! looking forward to feeling like my bubbly happy self!! sooner than later....

THIS SUCKS.
Apr 03, 2011
Hi I'm brand new to this. I'm 22 years old, my HW 270, SW 260, CW 246. I had Gastric Bypass March 24, 2011. So I am in stage 2 right now. Everything has been going great and not all good things last..I finally just had a break down. I am so SICK of drinking isopure, yogurt and soups. All I want is to eat regular food! This is too hard...nothing is appealing yet I'm getting hungry if I dont drink something for a while. I havent experienced any nausea or problems at all....my problems are all mind problems. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnell but all I want to scream is THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!! I go back to work this Wed. where I'm a full time hairdresser and I worry that I'll have the strength to do my 11 hour shifts. I need different kinds of foods to give me the calories and protein my body needs to survive!!! I go for my post-op appt. Tuesday and I pray my DR says I can start the pureed one day earlier. I've been reading blogs since I came home and heard about this website it has been very helpful to me to know most go through this struggle and survive it! I'm looking for any kind of encouragment, tips, success stories to keep me going positively :)
