Bite, Chew, Swallow and Digest
Well I just have to say that this week things have gotten so much easier... well I mean eating! I can actually eat things and I feel fine afterwards. I'm able to eat a bit more too and so thats nice. I still dont push the chicken thing and I found that Tuna is not my friend - no matter how "wet" I make it. It just doesn't go down well and seems to make my pouch a little angry after a bite or two. I didn't throw up (actually havent in a little bit - knock on wood) so thats a good thing!
I eat a lot of cheese and I also make myself little mini "pizza's" and they are great! I take some Roasted Garlic Triscuits (the two I let myself have) and put about 4 pieces of Turkey pepperoni on each one and then put either a few pieces of string cheese or some colby/jack on top. Then put them in the microwave for a few seconds to melt the cheese and they are just wonderful little tasty things! I am still eating my cottage cheese too. I found a fabulous cold cereal too but found out the hard way last night that Milk is still mean to me! The cereal is GREAT, 1/2 cup has 13 grams of protein. I figure since Milk doesnt work for me, I figure I can just munch on some cereal dry. I dont mind, it really does taste great. It kind of has a sweet flavor. Oh and my sister in law made this great Bean Salad and it was delicious! I ate a bunch of it the other day when they were over.
I noticed all week I hadn't lost any weight but I chalk that up to being visited by my monthly friend... or enemy! lol It's actually weird having a regular cycle since I went for so long not having one or having it forced with meds. Anyway... the only thing I hate is that I'm SO heavy and I'm going through pads like crazy! At least they are cheaper than my daughters diapers! lol It's just blech and painful... I dont know how "normal" people deal with periods! That reminds me, I want to ask my surgeon if I am able to take Pamprin or Midol... which I dont think should be an issue.
Anyway, I have my appointment with my psych. today so hopefully we can figure out the issues I'm having. Though, the anxiety is getting a bit better (I think I'm trying to make myself believe that) because eating is getting easier. I am still having panic attacks though and I hate them. It's still hard deciding what to eat and even though I know a few things will go down without a problem I still "freak out" about eating them sometimes. I just hope we can work something out with a med change or something. I've been very depressed lately too and it's taking a toll on my libido, which in turn is making things touchy with hubby and I. Everything is great and he totally understands and we know we can work through this.
Well I'll update later after I go to my appointment. Oh yeah, I weighed yesterday and I was 241lbs so I started losing again. I hope to lose another 16lbs by Aug 11th when we go on vacation. I will weigh 225lbs if I can swing it and that would just be amazing. We're going to Cleveland for a Infant Reflux Convention and then to Michigan after that to see my family. It will be great to see them since they know I have been losing weight but seen me since December! Fun Fun!
Well off to get the child out of her high chair!
