Today is 20 months post op and I hit 60 pounds down. Last week, Wednesday, November 2nd, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series! It was a crazy and exciting week to be a Chicagoan. Earlier, before the game started, I went to meet my new nutritionist/dietitian. She's super nice, but she doesn't meet with patients post-op. This particular group/team only sees people before surgery, and 30 and 60 days after. She had a lot of questions she needed to get answered later, like my questions about the patch vitamins. I asked her about carbs because my team doesn't allow pasta, rice or bread. The new one told me I can have whatever I want but in moderation. I didn't leave feeling super confident. The next day at work, we were allowed to be late because the Cubs game went late. People made treats and brought candy in (Baby Ruths). Someone made adorable cupcakes so I had one. I'm pretty sure I experienced dumping syndrome. I will leave the deets for another time...
Yesterday, Sunday 11/6, was my 25th birthday. My husband surprised me and took me to a casino, dinner and bars. We went to the Casino and didn't do as well as planned. Then we went to McCormick and Schmick's where the hubby surprised me with his cousin joining us! I had a lobster mashed potatoes, it was alright, not the best though. Then we all went to a few bars an basically drank my weight in Jeremiah Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade. Good think we got a hotel! The next morning, we woke up and went to breakfast, I had eggs and a quarter of a bagel with cream cheese. I know, bad. Later that night, we went to dinner with my parents and in-laws for my birthday. We went to Outback Steakhouse. I had mushroom chicken and mashed potatoes. I took most of it home. I had the mashed potatoes and a couple bites of chicken for lunch at work today and will have some more chicken at home for dinner.
Tomorrow is Election Day. So either world will be shitty, or more shitty.
Overall, 60 pounds lost. I'm okay with it, I ate like crap. Maybe this will teach me to not eat like this anymore. But I really want a bagel. I feel like I'm always hungry, which is a problem because I can't eat all day at my desk because my stomach makes the more horrible noises.
