1. So, I re-read last week's 10 things and whoa, I was pissed. I was pissed that I felt so bad two weeks out from surgery and still feeling like shit. Well, this week, I'm feeling much better so that bitterness seems to be waning a bit.
2. Thanks for the comments and support. Especially regarding my aversion to anything surgical at the time. I know that my mind will change eventually. Even today, when I went in for my weekly check-in, I asked some sleeve questions and my NP gave me a surprised look like "oh, miss I'm never having another surgery again now wants to ask some questions!" I'm not committing to anything, just asking some questions. Besides, I've still got quite a few months of insurance approval hoops to jump through.
3. I think if I do go forward with the sleeve, I may be more discreet this time. I was telling my friend that now that I don't have my lapband, I feel like my world is watching me closely, waiting to see if I gain weight back again. It may be all in my head but I feel more pressure now that I DON'T have a lapband to lose weight than when I did have one. strange.
4. One thing I'm enjoying now that Antonio is out of the picture is eating salads again. I could never eat salads or lettuce, with the exception of cole slaw. I ALWAYS got stuck. I'm eating a crap ton of salads now and enjoying every minute of it!
5. I'm also eating a lot of carbs lately, which I need to curb before I start packing on the lbs, which thanks to the horrible antibiotics I was on for 2 weeks, I'm still not packing on the lbs b/c my stomach still doesn't feel 100% right.
6. I cannot wait to start working out. Before this most recent disaster occurred, I was on a work out hiatus b/c I had 2 bulging discs which were causing sharp shooting pains and numbness in my right leg. I had just started PT when I had surgery so I've had to take a break from PT until I could lay on my stomach. I go back next week so hopefully within a couple of weeks, I'll be back to working out.
7. Mac and I are going to Atlanta this weekend for a quick weekend trip to see my brother and family. My nephew is turning 17 AND going to prom all on the same day. So, we are excited to get to be part of that.
8. Mac is at an age where he's saying the most random things like "sometimes I love you and sometimes I don't" when I asked him why, he said "b/c sometimes you make me nervous..." UM WTF?? I have no idea where that comes from. I asked him what he meant by that and he said " I don't know.. maybe Frieda (the dog) makes me nervous and you and daddy don't." lord help me if I'm raising a nervous nancy like myself.
9. I don't think I have 10 things, just wanted to check in. Hope you are all doing well and thanks again for checking in on me via FB or commenting on here!

Blah. F%ck the world. And if they are watching to see if you gain weight back, pop a mini-snickers in your mouth and say "Amy says to bite me"...Do you know there is not one thing that I can't not eat with the band (did I say that right?), so I always find it interesting when people have items of food that just don't happen for them with theirs. I'm glad you are feeling a little better.

I had my band repositioned and was sick for two months. My emotions were on a roller coaster. It seems to me you're handling things pretty well. Keep focusing on the healing and don't worry too much about what others think.
ReplyDeleteJust now reading this....boy that must have been tough to go thru...did you decide to do the sleeve?
