Well, it's April 1, 2007. I can't believe it's been so long since I updated my blog. Things are going well here and I am feeling much better. I am not anywhere as nauseous as I had beenand I am energized beyond belief! I am just getting down to writing in a journal again as there are issues I need to address. i've decided to completely avoid sugar and white flour as I have evidenced these giving me problems lately. I ammaking an effort to discuss the issues I have with these substances with a close mentor, my AA sponsor whohalos deals withthis addiction if you will. It is the best way I 'vedealt with other issues around food. That's why I use the OH website and especially the VSG site in general. I hope to post more often.

The last day of 2006!
I feel gratitude & hope for this coming year. Although it's been tough going lately, I know this too shall pass. I wish the feeling of nausea that I have every morning would cease! It's so debilitating! If I felt more comfortable in the morning first thing, it would be a no brainer to get out and go to the club. Instead, I have to trick my stomach into feeling better with a mixture of 1 scoop of Isopure creamy vanilla (what nerve to name it any thing but a ...well I can't even write that on a public blog!) powder in 10 oz. of water and then get into the car and drive to the club while sipping the drink. When I arrive I go directly to the treadmill and begin. Most assuredly, I feel better as I begin the walk. I am usually feeling quite a bit better by the time I get home and even better after I eat the 1 oz of protein I can fit in my banana so far...I wait until a half hour after I finish drinking to eat and do not drink anything until 45 minutes after I eat. I cannot imagine going back to work on 1/2/07 and being able to stick to the required fluid intake and scheduled eating and drinking regimen!
