Finally Putting Myself First - Mexico

To date I have lost 22 lbs. I'm so excited, it's been frustrating looking at the scale and then bam this morning 5 lbs dropped.

I have been struggling with the diet my go to food has been crackers because it's the one thing I know for sure that won't irritate my stomach. I'm starting to eat solid foods now last night I had a grilled chicken wing with a teaspoon of mash potatoes and later in the evening I had 2 teaspoons of ice cream.

I had one incident where I over ate it's was the worst experience and I will never do that again. I was in pain for hours to the point where I had to go home from work. I tried to make myself puke but couldn't go through with it so I had to ride out the pain.

I'm going to start incorporating exercise in my routine now I have a personal trainer so I will start back with that as well.

Overall I had no pain really I haven't needed any pain meds I left Mexico with little to no pain.

There are days when I hate that I had this surgery only because I want to eat more but other than that I'm glad I did it. I watch my family eat and all I can think about wow we humans consume so much food!!! Over all I'm happy I eat what I like but in very small portions and I'm satisfied. :-)

I arrived back to Atlanta on Monday 5/6. People say they feel so much energy? NO not me! I'm not a person to take a nap during the day but I have been needing to everyday after work this whole week. While I was in Mexico it was extremely difficult for me to take down any type of fluids because I hated the heartburn it would cause and constantly feeling nauseous. So far I have lost 14lbs, which is really nice :-).
Once I got home I started on thick soups which is much better than Just drinking juice.

My food during the day consist of
8 oz of soup
1 pudding or jello
And if I can try to get something else in I try a popscile.

Soon I have to try to get in 60 grams of protein and 6-8 glasses of fluid .... I honestly don't know how I'm going to do that lol

I honestly don't feel hungry, but in my mind I know I have to eat which makes it difficult.

I'm a binge eater so that's something else I'm battling with :(

Right after the surgery once they woke me up I was in a lot of pain to point where I was yelling and crying due to back pain I think all my back and win was because of all the gas they put inside me. They were quick to give me meds and position me in a more comfortable way. The recovery room was hard I was in and out of but there were other patients recovering which made for a lot of noise. The worst part was my hands and left thigh where numb which freaked me out. One of the doctors reassured me it will fade away soon it was due t my IV and how they positioned me on surgery. It's 2pm now and my thighs has recovered almost 95% and my right hard close to 95% as well. Throughly out the night after surgery I was vomoting close to every 2 hours after I vomit they would put more anti nausea meds in my IV I don't think my Body reacts well to morphine. The last time I vomited was 8 am this morning. Since then I've been walking around and I even took a shower.
This hospital is so clean and I was put up in a master VIP suite with my own bed and living area. Some nurse only speak Spanish but your I get to understand them after interacting with them
