Week 4

Starting weight: 242

Current weight: 211

Definitely plateaued with the weight loss.  Kinda scary to me, but that was a lot of weight in such a short time.  Caught a view of myself in a column mirror at the mall – I look deflated lol.  It’s weird not having such a huge tire around my stomach, but I really need to start wearing my spanx, yo O_O

Had a scary moment yesterday.  I ate too much and too fast and I thought I was gonna die =/  I couldn’t throw it up either, it just absolutely refused to come up.  So I had to sit and calm myself down and stop thinking I was going to tear my stomach open =/  Lesson learned though, let me tell you.  Keeping up with my vitamins, water, and really pushing the protein supplements.  It’s not so bad now that I found something palatable.

Have company this week, but mom’s here next so I’ll be hitting the gym and walking the dog more when David is in school.  Force my mother to walk with me too. =)

Week 3, Day 18

Start Weight: 242

Current Weight: 211

I have plateaued.  It’s worrying me a little, but granted, I lost 30lbs in 2 weeks.  Might be a good thing it’s slowed down from 2 pounds a day.  I’ve started soft solids and wow – food taste so god durn awesome.  Also started taking my vitamins, which apparently I should have been doing since day 3.  Oddly, I feel like I have a little more energy.  So today I’m going to stop by ToysRUs and check for a carseat for David and then hit the gym for a super workout of walking 2mph for 15 mins.  Last time I did that I thought I was gonna die, but with the vitamins I hope at least I’ll be able to not breathe all heavy walking back to the Jeep.

Started the day off with peppered scrambled eggs and shared them with David.  Probably only had about 2 ounces.  Still finding myself extremely hungry in between meals.  Takes everything not to snack.  I’m really trying to drink my protein supplement stuff, which is DISGUSTING, but I gotta since it’s helping me heal up still.  I should be moving onto real food next week, maybe the tail end of next week – depends how this eating goes.  I’m afraid I’m going to start overeating again, but really I’m not eating more than a 1/4 cup of anything.  Definitely going to start the walking to help off set my fears of stuffing my face.

Wish me luck.

Week 3, Day 15

Starting weight: 242

Currently weight 211

31lbs.  That 3 pound jump might be from my stomach revolting against the liquid crap.  I swear I haven’t really eaten much in the past couple of days, so today I tried 1 egg for lunch.  Only ate half of it, but my stomach finally settled.  It was like the milky thick protein drinks were finally getting to me.  For dinner I had almost half a slice of deli meat and 5 green beans.  Best damn dinner I have ever had.  I stopped when I was full, which seemed almost right off the bat, but I’m happy I kept it down.  I had to stop drinking that Special K water – it was making my teeth all gnuddy and giving me sour stomach ironically because it was just too damn sweet.  Had a 1/4 of a banana for my night time snack and I’m good.  Just thirsty.

Tomorrow I’m going to try tuna fish and mash potatoes.  I KNOW – CRAZY.  I can’t wait lol.

Week 3, day 14

Starting weight: 242

Currently weight 214

So yeah, wild huh?  That’s almost 30lbs in 2 weeks.  That is the weirdest thing ever to me.  I thought 30 in maybe a month, but in 2 weeks?  God I’m going to sag! =/

In any other news, I’m about to eat my arm off.  It’s not that I’m hungry, I’m kind of not, but I think psychologically I see food I can’t have but would have had if not the surgery.  Like Golden Corral and their damn ‘The Land of &’!  F9ckers.  Or Red Lobster.  F9ck…ers.  Or Popeye and their chicken nuggest and potato wrap.  I’d eat the paper if I could, I’m not kidding.  However, I have not cheated.  The threat of death has taken care of that and strengthen my resolve, but it doesn’t make it any easier.

I’m into my second week of Full Liquids and started walking at the gym while David is at preschool.  I did 15 minutes on the treadmill and thought I was going to die of exhaustion when I got to the car.  Had to sit there for a few minutes before going and picking up ground beef for the kid’s Sloppy Joes tonight.  Why do they put meat all the way on the other f9cking side of the store???  Then I drove home and just sat in the driveway, trying not to pass out.  I’m exhausted.  Still exhausted and it was like almost 2 hours ago.  I think I’ll make David take a nap with me when he gets home.

Full liquid diet is disgusting, I’m tired of eating liquids.  Too sweet and I wake up with an upset stomach.  I don’t know, I know it gets better, I’m just looking forward to when that’ll be because I am growing impatient =/
