My Vertical Gastric Sleeve Journey: Confession Time

Confession Time

1. In case you haven't noticed, I haven't posted on here since August 8th.
2. I haven't been 100% faithful in tracking my food.
3. I don't always remember to take my vitamin every day.
4. I usually forget to take my calcium pill (Because it's chewable and it takes HORRIBLE! However, I've recently switched to Calcium chocolate chewables and they taste SO much better).
5. I still weigh myself WAY more than I should...usually in the morning and several times before bed.
6. I eat my food way too fast.
7. Which has caused me to throw up twice.
8. And made me wish I could throw up more times than that.
9. I still have eyes way too big for my stomach.
10. I miss eating large volumes of food, so sometimes I don't want to go out to eat. It's just sad.

In spite of all that, I'm still doing GREAT!! I do not regret having this surgery one single day. Not one! It's the best decision I've ever made. I'm still grieving the loss of food, but I'm finally getting used to the fact that I can't eat more than 5 or 6 bites. Then I'm done. I've thrown away more food than I care to think about. And it kills me. But it's a new fact of my life.

I'm back now and I'm re-committing to keeping up with this blog. We'll see how long that lasts. :-)

Here are some before/after photos, just for grins and giggles.
