I have decided that my new smaller stomach can not tolerate a multivitamin. Since week 2 after surgery I have tried taking them in many different ways --with food =, on an empty stomach, by itself any trick that I could come up with, simply because I have always tried to take a multivitamin along with many other supplements. I am saddened that I can't do this any longer .I have some flinstone vitamins that I bought for my two year old and he won't take them .( he only likes the gummy ones).I am going to try and take them tonight and see if I can tolerate them. The other ones make me throw up , I thought I was through with the vomiting stage of this process, but I am starting to think that's gonna be a part of the rest of my life. Maybe (hopefully) once I learn what my body can and can't tolerate their won't be anymore vomiting episodes. I am going to consult Dr.Google and Dr. webmd to see if this is a common occurrence in weight loss surgery patients.I want to be healthier and I know weight loss will be a good thing, BUT if I can't eat the amount of fruits and vegetables that is recommended for a healthy lifestyle and I get medical conditions that could've been prevented with proper nutrition -then was the weight loss surgery a help ???????
I have stalled at weight loss also this week and I know it is because of the bag of salt and vinegar chips I bought as a snack on the boat Saturday...gotta learn to snack on veggies and not junk food--maybe I should have investigated my reasons for eating too much before the surgery , because some days I make bad choices.

much better
Things have gotten much better lately.no major issues with throwing up in a few weeks.I have learned how to judge portion control much better. I still have days when I eat too fast or when I eat a little too much.I assume that is just gonna be a part of my life forever.
On a happy note Paul has been gushing over how much weight I have lost, and yesterday he came home from work and picked me up and sit me on the counter ( yep just like the country song ) It was such an accomplished feeling --not sure of any other way to describe it .i have to admit I do feel sexier when I put on a pair of jeans or shorts and even more so when they are too big !!!The latter of which is happening quite often lately..I am looking forward to jeans and sweater weather so I can properly fit into sweaters and wear my beloved boots ! I have been going to garage sales and thrift stores and just purchasing a few new smaller items - knowing that I will most liekly not be wearing them for long ---ah so nice to say that with confidence

163
Things have gotten so much better the past few days, I have worked harder to control portion sizes and eat slower. The portion control is much easier for me to master than eating slow. Not sure why but i have always ate fast...even as a child I at that way.
Still can't tolerate beef products very well, last night Paul cooked a very good cut of steak and i could only eat 3 pieces, even though it tasted so good, my body seemed disgusted by every chew, So I guess I will have to phase beef out of my diet - which won't be so bad because it isn't good for my cholesterol anyway. Speaking of cholesterol I went to my follow up with my family Dr and my cholesterol was 273--CRAP--I was hoping it would go down after surgery but so far it hasn't. He wanted me to take statin medication to lower it. I do not like the idea of taking a statin, I know that if i thought about all me medication I more than likely wouldn't want it either. I am working on the low cholesterol foods. But eggs are one of my main protein sources . my bariatric surgeon said that eggs have gotten a bad rap -but that they are a very good source of protein, i honestly haven't found a protein shake that I like at least not after the first glass or two anyway.
I have lost 6 more punds down to 163, I went to a baby shower for a cousin and gor a few compliments about how great I looked -mostly from those who knew about the surgery . I feel that a few were a little upset that I was losing the weight --but that is their issue not mine .
I feel like a million bucks =, it is so awesome to buy clothing in a smaller sixe or to put on something and look in the mirror and notice how it looks instead of automatically checking to see if my fat roll is showing !!! Vain I know but its still great. although I still go straight to 2x when I look on the racks for clothing....i got some size 12 pants from ebay and they Zip--I won't say fit becsue they still squeeze out the fluff and give me the dreaded muffin top--and i don't want to look on the internet and see myself as the star of one of those just becaus it zips doesn't mean it fits photos...
