Well, that sucks!

Well, so the stall is offical.  I've been at the same weight now for 4weeks.  I went to the DR today and they said I have a stricture.  This is what is causing me to throw up. 

Ok, so this is how to describe it.  The connection to my pouch from my intestine is crempted.  So it's not letting the food pass through to get digested.  Well, if it sits in my pouch to long it has to come back up.  That's what it has been doing.

I'm going to be getting it fixed on Tuesday 28th.  I'll have my 'Nut visit on 30th and Blood work same day.  Go figure the Vampire needs blood again.

Alright, work is killing me.  My BUTT hurts...I swear I'm loosing padding back there and sitting all day just don't help. 

Christmas is here and we are going up to Sean's sisters.  We are also having Christmas when the kids come home on the 27th.  I can't wait!  I miss them alot.  I really don't think I can do the holidays with out them but I'm trying.  I cry alot but I love them and I know their father needs some time with them too.

Alright before I start crying again I'm going to go watch some TV.  Night

Holidays???? OH MY!!!!!

So the Holidays are upon us and what comes with them is FOOD.  Food is every where, parties, work, home; Baking, pies cookies, fudge, it's just every where!

I am baking.  I'm baking several cookies and most of them I'm using splenda.  This is to replace the sugar and hoping that it makes it so I can eat some. 

I've figured if I keep saying I CAN'T eat that then it's just going to be more tempting to do so.  So I desided that doing it in moderation it's ok.

On another note....I've been stalled still...it's sucking!  I have not lost a single pound since the start of december.  Here it is week 3 of the stall and I'm just getting upset.  I have also been throwing up more.  I can't seem to keep anything down.  I'm going to tell my Dr when I see him on the 23rd. 

Alright guys...I'm tired and I'm off to bed...

My Month surg-aversary!

Yes that is a real word because I typed it so it is! 

Ok, so my cycle came and it is so not fun....I've always cramped allot on some months but with my stomach cramping and everything else... ugh...

I have started to loose the weight I gained...only 3more pounds to go and I'll be back down to my lowest.

Ok, so what else is going on?  I went back to work!  I HATE IT!  OMG everything is wrong. 

I'll explain this...I was in a special department and didn't get on the phones (i work in a call center)....now they said "well since you were gone we don't need you so you get to go back to the phones."

Yeah that's what I said (what you said).  So now I'm grumpy and sad and trying to not cry too much.  (it's not working).

Alright, I'm off to make my tuna salad...it's what's making me eat....

We move along....but the scale don't!

Well, I've stopped loosing weight...it's normally called a "stall".  It happens to people who have had a surgery for weight loss.  I had expected it to happen, but not this soon. 
I'm 3 weeks in....but I found out that when my cycle I would slow or stop loosing weight...but I didn't expect to GAIN weight.

I gained 7lbs back...It's frustrating to gain when you went to the extreme to loose it!


OK, Christmas is coming and I'm also trying to plan the holidays.  My kids go to their dads for the whole time and I get them back on the 28th at noon. 
What else...let's see we are going to make cookies as gifts for Christmas....what I'm worried about is that there will be hundreds of cookies in my house!  I love tasting food as I cook and bake... um.. can't do that!!!!! 

Alright peoples I'm going to head off to bed.... night night!

Turkey day 2010

Well Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!! I hope your day went well! 

Let's see, I have my whole family over!  I'll go over the list:
My mom, Step dad, both Sisters and 2 nephews.
Sean's Sister, brother in-law and niece
Room mate and her cousin
Adoptive little brother
Sean's Friend Shawn.
This is plus, Me, Sean and my two kids... a grand total of : 17 peoples here to eat!

We had a crap load of food want to see??:

The pies were in the kitchen, there were 6 of them.

OK, so you wonder how does someone who just had this surgery cook and host a Thanksgiving dinner?  I did it easy.  I got up and cooked.  I knew I couldn't eat 90% of what was being served, so I made sure what I could eat tasted great!  I was in charge of the meat and potatoes!  So we had Rosemary and Thyme turkey with honey/brown sugar ham.  And garlic mashed potatoes. 

I ate about 2oz of turkey and 2 oz of ham.  (not at the same time....)And about 6bites of potatoes.  So I had 3bites with each set of meat.  I had about a good 45min between my "plates" and after2 hours I ate a small scoop of my "pudding pie" Sean made for me.
The pie was no sugar added French vanilla pudding and a graham cracker crust made with splenda.  I was quite happy!
Here is all of us:

One person had already left, so there are only 16 in the picture.

We had a great time and after all the fun I went out black Friday shopping to Toys R Us, Walmart, Target and back to walmart!   I got everything I wanted, stuff for my mom too.  So it was a all and all great Thanks giving!!!

We put up our tree now and start this holiday season!

OK, so just to also update you I'm down 25lbs since the surgery!

2 weeks Post op!

Today marks the 2nd week since I started my new life.  You hear alot of people say it's your new life.  The reason is because this is not the easy way out.  This is not a quick fix.  This surgery is just a tool for me to use to loose weight and to become more healthy.  I have to change the way I look at food, how I use food and how I let food into me.

With my two weeks comes me eating solids.  I ate a scrambled egg for breakfast with a little cheese.  This is high protein foods, and how I should be thinking.  I have to read everything about what I'm eatting and what I'm drinking so that I don't get sick.  I had an episode of dumping and I don't want to do that again.

So here is the weight, I know you are all wanting to know.  Since the morning of my surgery I have lost 15lbs!  Plus the weight I lost the two weeks before, so I'm off to a great start!  So that's 22lbs in such a short time!  People are noticing...heck I put on a shirt and it fit right! 

So I'm off to work on Thanksgiving because it's here this year....Enjoy guys!
