HELP!

I know this is going to sound gross.... I am 9 days post op and am constipated. I have tried a heating pad, warm liquids, walking, water... I mean I have been eating under my calorie goal and have been walking daily so I SHOULD be losing but I have been constipated these last few days so the scale is not reflecting by good behavior! HELP!

I am still alive...

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days but things have been alittle hectic here. Work has been crazy latelly as I work for a petroleum company and everyone wants PROPANE because it has been so COLD! So, I have been a scatter brain. I have been eating fairly well. Protien shakes are usually breakfast. Tuna salad or soup make up lunch. And dinner usually polenta, or salmon. I have tried to stay under 800 calories but I have managed to go over by 50 calories here latelly. I have been excited to add britterz to my yahoo messenger, so if anyone else out there wants to be my friend add me: missy_outta_control ....or leave me a comment with your yahoo messenger name. Thanks have a fab day!

Frustration.

Ok. Here it goes let me explain my dilemia. I stuck at 190 lbs. I mean stuck. And it is really pissing me off. I have a body bugg, I track all my food to a tee and exsercise daily. I always have a deficet of at least 1300 and I did not lose a pound this week in really bothers me. I have yet to have a fill but it scares me that I am only eating like 850 calories a day, exerscing for at least 30 minutes of the elliptical trainer and I still don't see a loss. Very frustrating.

3 day Post Op

Feeling much better! I took a shower, blow dryed my hair, put in hot rollers and slapped on some makeup... I just wanted to feel human again! It is amazing what a little fixing yourself up can do to a girl's self esteem. I was starting to scare my self everytime I walked past a mirror! I am still kind of tender and have weened my self off the pain medication... it was making me too drowsy and light headed and I need to get back to work tommorow so I will just take Alieve from now on.... So on to what I have been eating.... NOT MUCH! Not because I don't feel hungry but because my doctor told me to stick to liquids for 3 weeks.... liquids do not make me feel full. At all. So I am living off of tomato soup, protein drinks, water and ya... thats about it. It sucks but I have been seeing results... As for now I am just sitting up and trying to pass the time until I fall asleep tonight and go to work tommorow...

7 days to go!

When someone asked me the other day what my favorite food was I knew the answer right away... :whoo:SUSHI :whoo: I just love the stuff! I am a big fan of it all. When I first started going to Japanese restraunts I only ate the "California Rolls" because I was so afraid of the raw stuff.... Now I am a full blown sushi junkie! I start off my meal with a delicious bowl of Cucumber soumono (spelling) See below: It is refreshing and tangy as, I think they marinate the cucumber in it overnight. It is usually topped with crab and "tako" also known as octopus! YUMMO! The next course I order is the beautiful RAINBOW ROLL ... The roll is usually a combination of crab, cucumber - tuna, yellowtail, shrimp, salmon, avocado, layered outside. At the sushi restraunt I go to I have the sushi man dress up my roll a bit more (as if it should be the roll in itself is a meal and is usually $15) with a drizzle of a "sweet" sauce, which kind of tastes like teriyaki, and on top of that crumbled macadamia nuts - "Big Island Roll" is what I call it. Check it out (this picture does not show the sauce and macadamia nuts.. it is a picture of a true Rainbow Roll... which is great too): All this sushi talk is making my mouth water! I am sipping on a "Premier Nutrition" protein shake at the moment and it is not too shabby. You can guess what I am craving now for lunch....

2 days - can you believe it?

Raise your hand if you are excited about me having my surgery in 2 days....:clap2: Yaaaa... I am so excited. I have cleaned up my room so I am comfortable after surgery. I still have a pile of clothes to fold but no big worries I will get to that tonight. I gave my mom a list of things to pick up for me: heating pad, baby spoon, baby bowl, gas x strips... you know the basics! Today I had a scambled egg for breakfast and a tuna sandwich for lunch - bye bye bread... not going to be tasting you anymore! Oh well. I am trying my best to get as much done at work as possible so I will not make it difficult for the person at work who is filling in for me while I am gone. My surgery is on Friday and I assume I will be able to come back to work on Monday. I hope everything goes well because I didn't tell anyone at work what I was having done. Well, I take that back, I told the receptionist I was having my gallbladder removed because she over heard me on the phone talking to the surgery center. Oh well - it was a white lie and really none of her business anyway. I will update you more later... bye.

Boy do I feel better! I almost feel like I never even had surgery - well not really... But I do feel great 5 days post op! I am even getting used to just eating liquids too... well that was after I stuipdly tried to eat tuna fish yesterday morning - but was halted by my stomach saying, "No, no, no" (sing in Amy Winehouse's voice and it sounds funnier... "They tried to make me go to rehab.... I was like No, no, no.... ANYWAY. Ya I soon realized I am on liquids for a reason! To let my stomach HEAL! Duh - how could I have been so dumb to try and push it?   Onto more merrier things.... I am down 13 pounds! Yes! And I am in wonderland! All is good in my world this morning!

196 lbs... Ya.

So if you have been following my journal you will be able to see I am down a pound every day since surgery. If I keep it up at that rate in 3 months I will be looking fab in some size 6 jeans! Yahoo... Anyway... My stomach really hurts right now... I had some pistachio jello and some mashed potatoes at our company X-mas party... I may have eaten to much or just eaten too solid of foods. I really tried to be good. But I am in pain.... I feel like going home early putting on the PJ's and calling it a night.... :faint:

Merry Christmas!

Hey thanks JSOTO! I needed to hear your words of kindess! :cursing: Thanks. I was not going to post them but then I thought, oh why the hell not... you know? We are all friends here!!! I do not really care - I just don't want anyone to be grossed out. I warned you all! Hahhaaa... Oh well that is me, like it or or not! :cursing::cursing: On to other news.... I had my first PB! I guess sometimes my brain gets stuck on stupid because I do the most retarded things... So my mom served salad, clam chowder, and cracked crab last night for Christmas Eve dinner - right? Well I decide it is ok for me to dip a roll in my clam chowder and eat it - WRONG! It felt like I was going to burp, but then it felt like I was going to throw up, so my cousin who was sitting next to me was like, "Are you ok?"... I just shook my head and ran to the bathroom. Three heaves and I threw up the roll in the toliet. Great. All I was thinking was, "I hope my band does not slip"... Stuipd, stuipd, stuipd. That scared me so I didn't eat anything else all night. :speechles   Oh I am at 193 - so ya! Merry Merry Christmas all!

Body Bugg

So today is the first day I am wearing my Body Bugg on my arm... I had no idea I burn a calorie a minute in my sleep... My motto used to be (pre-band) was: "If I am sleeping I am not eating" so that is why I slept so much! Ha... That is a pretty lame excuse for being so lazy don't you think? It was kind of confusing to set up on my work computer, I also want to set it up on my computer at home so I could plug it in right before I went to bed... Just to see...

Not sure...

I am not sure if I have lost any weight here lately... I just haven't gotten on the scale. I have not been binging or anything I just have been stuck at 192. So, I am going to let the BodyBugg do its magic for a week and see what happens. I have been eating at right around 900 calories and have been working out for at least 30 minutes a day on my elliptical trainer. I still have trouble with my BM's so it looks like I am going to incorporate some prunes into my diet - like it or not. I purchased some Smooth Move tea and it seems to help but not what I would like. I have my 3 week consultation on January 7th so I will see what my doctor has to say. Until then...
