Well, last night I tried to eat my first home grilled hamburger. Oh man, we were at a friend's home and I don't know what I did, not chew long enough, or what, but I wasn't even half way through the hamburger when I had to run to the bathroom. I actually threw up some food, and choked, and spit, and it hurt.
I went shopping today. I can't even buy a smaller pair of pants, so I didn't buy any. I am so SICK of being fat!
On the side of trying to be positive; Last week I had 3 people tell me they could tell I've lost a lot of weight and that I'm looking good.

New U appointment on April 11th
I had an appointment at the New U. They were thrilled with the progress I am making. I told them the things my son says to me and they said that they ought to have him come and inspire others on our monthly support meetings:) He has been tough on me, but it helps. They have not done any band adjustment since the surgery.
31 POUNDS LOST SINCE THE SURGERY!
I do have to say I had a BAD experience last night. I had only had a protein shake the whole day, I was babysitting, and my husband picked up some beef brisket. I ate it too fast, when means I should have chewed on it until you are sick of chewing on it. I was in so much pain. I burped and spit for quite awhile. Although I did not throw up any food. I really doesn't make me want to go to that much effort to eat beef brisket again. Although later while my daughter was eating, I took small bites and chewed forever, and it was OK.
I have had to do some sewing on my pants to adjust the waist, but those hips of mine don't seem to be making any progess :(
I did make that chart I talked about in my last post. What become obvious quickly is:
#1 worst problem: not drinking 64 ounces of water a day
#2 not getting enough protein each day
And I got the creamy bites calcium supplements ordered. I wish they would get here soon.

Slow progress
I am making progress, but it is really slow.
Since I wrote last; I finally told my youngest daughter about my surgery. I was waiting until she noticed that I was losing a lot of weight, but she never did. She was home for sring break, and delivered a long lecture to me about how she has no patience with fat people. She has no sympthy for them because they brought their health problems upon theirselves. I told her on Easter Sunday.
My son chewed me out yesterday about not doing better on my diet. So I felt that I should read over the materials they gave me at the New U program. I will be posting information below that I am reviewing. But first, how have I progressed so far?
Total weight loss this year:
34.5 pounds
My weight at the beginning of the liver shrinking diet which started 2 weeks before the surgery.
And by the way, the last time I weighed this much was way back on July 27, 2008!
Total weight loss since the surgery:
29 pounds
Diet per day Rules:
Drink 64 oz. fluids
Eat 3 meals, no snacks. Chew each bite 20-25 times. Eat slowly.
Eat 60g. Protein. Include a low-fat protein in every meal. Eat the protein part of your meal first.
I think I'll make a chart to use each day.
