My beloved scrambled egg!
Jul 18, 2008
Oh my word, I had the best food in the world! Randy made the scrambled egg tonight for me. I was in heaven. I took Anna's advice (from OK OH message board) and had him put a spoonful of cottage cheese in it. Then when it was just firming up he grated some fresh colby jack cheese on it. Ohhhhhhhhhh my gosh!! I wanted to eat that whole egg so bad but only ate half before I was full. I ate the half of an egg over a 45 minute time so I ate very tiny (eraser on end of pencil size) bites and paused between each one. No pucking and it went down just great!! I know what I will be having for breakfast!

I was getting dressed this morning for work and discovered all my pants are too big. I mean most of them are so big that I cannot possibly wear them. I guess it is a good problem to have.
I was a bit braver today with eating. I had about a 1/2 cup of chocolate protien pudding between breakfast and supper. I had 1/2 a 1 oz cheese stick for lunch and had the other half in the evening. Wow, not much food for this fat chick. But, I am NOT hungry in the least. So weird.
Mushies!!! I ate today!!

I had almost 1/4 of a cheese stick. I took the most tiny bites you have ever seen. It took like 5 tiny bites to equal a normal person's bite which was about 1/4 of the cheese stick. That was all. I thought I felt full so I stopped.
At lunch at had another 1/4 of a cheese stick...too scared to venture out for something different. I was full and stopped. I don't know if I am just too chicken or if I am really feeling full. Just not certain yet but don't want to push it.
Tonight Randy made 1/4 cut refried beans with cheese. Mind you, I did not like refried beans before and well...lets just say I didn't hate them tonight but they are not my favorite thing. I ate about 6 babyfood spoons and felt full. It looked like I had not even touched the food. This is weird. I'm worried about nourishment but maybe in a few days I will be getting a little more in.
day 14 with no food
Jul 14, 2008
I can't believe I am making it through this. I'm not hungry either. Now, head hunger, that is a different story. I could so go for a shrimp steamed dumpling from PF Changs right now..sigh..
I just have to make it today and tomorrow and then Wednesday I enter the mushie stage. I am already planning on my menu! I hated refried beans before surgery but I think they might be my new best friend now. I am going to have refried beans with cheese melted in it and some low fat cheese for my meals on Wedesday. I'm going to try and take it slow and only introduce a new food or two a day. I really want that scrambled egg but keep reading about too many people throwing up that first egg. I do not want to throw up!! I think I will relax about my sleeve once I am able to eat food. I can't stand any of the protien shakes so I really need to eat so I can get some energy.
Goodbye 300s!!

I am feeling better about my decision every day. I have this excitement welling up inside like this will be the best thing I ever did. I'm still nervous about throwing up, or feeling food stuck but I will cross that bridge when I get there.
I haven't had food in 10 days counting today and I have 5 more to go. SF popsicles, SF Snowcones and Diet Swiss Miss Hot chocolate are helping me not go crazy. Tonight I am going to get some egg drop soup and strain it. The main thing that is holding me together during this tough two weeks is the support from my on-line friends. The OH support has been a life line.

day 4
Jul 05, 2008
Welcome to day 4. I feel much better about my new tiny tummy today. I am not having as much pain or discomfort today and sipping water seems a little easier. I did wake up feeling weak and dizzy so I drank several sips of an Atkins Advantage shake. My doctor allows them as needed. Mostly right now and for the next week and a half I am on sugar free liquids.
Food find: sugar free snowcones and someone suggested getting a plain ice snowcone and pouring a protien bullet over it. I am going to try it today.
I have angered my tummy!

Basically right now I am not loving my sleeve yet. This is my 3rd day out and everyone says it is the worst. Emotionally I am shot. I just hope and pray that every day gets better just like I see others post that it does.
The staff at weight wise are awesome. I could not have picked a better place. Plus several of my support group buddies came and checked on me. It made the stay at the hospital not seem as bad.
Oh one last comment, this one positive. I slept so good last night and even slept on my tummy!
the freak out
Jun 30, 2008
I ate too much this weekend and gained 2 lbs. I have been letter perfect today so hopefully that will fall off. If not, I am sure when I do all liquids tomorrow it will be gone.
Tonight I will try and focus on my homework and not think about it. I just have to trust that I made the best decision and move forward. I know God will bring me through whatever I face.
just one last meal
