I've been blogging about my weight loss journey for the past 3 years. I find it cathartic to type about my experiences. I made the leap and got RNY in 2015. I'm excited for the future!! I want to run that marathon some day!

Praying to the porcelain God.
This has been another hard stomach week. I wonder sometimes if this is how its going to be for the rest of my life. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision in getting the surgery. Another moment of weakness I suppose. I'm 5 weeks out now and still get sick a lot. Like a lot a lot. I have the hunger pains and frequent cravings but as soon as food hits my stomach I instantaneously become nauseous and have stomach pain. I usually have to lay on the couch rubbing my stomach for 20-30 minutes until it passes. Today I must have ate my lunch to quickly or didn't chew enough and ended up getting food stuck in my chest. I had to fly from the table and into the bathroom. The pain and pressure in my chest was intense. It seriously felt like I was having a heart attack. I sat on the floor of the bathroom at work for a good 20 minutes foaming at the mouth. I ended up being able to vomit a little bit (bloody puke) and the food slowly passed. I HATE feeling this way all the time. It really makes me not want to eat. I can't enjoy a meal without feeling like shit. I still get stomach pain with drinking liquid. I went walking this morning and came home and I swear unconsciously gulped a ice water. I regretted that quickly. Very quickly. So fellow WLS peeps if you ever think your pouch isn't working gulp some water.
I have been able to exercise three times so far this week which has been amazing! It's always nice to sweat! I would think some more weight would fall off this week but I'm stuck at 203.8. Sooooo close!
