It's time for everyone to start rushing around to the gym. Time to start meal planning. Time to DIEt.
I am thankful that I started my 2016 on October 2nd. I started my brand new year 3 months ago. I made it through Halloween candy, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas goodies, and New Years Eve junk and I'm still in 1 piece. I made it out 58 pounds lighter, 5 pant sizes smaller, and with a huge smile on my face.
It's not come without difficulty. I am now having to take Reglan 4 times a day, omeprazole 40 mg a day, and Zofran 2-3 times a day. Does it suck??? Absolutely. Would I do it all over again??? Absolutely.
The next step will be a EGD if the reflux, nausea, and abdominal pain doesnt cease to exist. I am hoping the addition of Reglan will help with it all. If I could live without eating I would do it in a second. I use to think about food 24/7 and now I am disgusted every time I eat or think about food. Nothing is really satisfying anymore. I don't get cravings often and when I eat what I crave its unappetizing.
I use to be a sweet lover and now my go to is salty food. Everything sweet tastes like its been doused in liquid sugar. There are a few things I can typically eat with little repercussions. I love dill pickles and eat those daily. I have no issue with pears and I eat those almost daily as well. I eat a lot of egg and cheese sandwiches on whole wheat and even that has messed with me a few times I'm assuming because of the carbohydrates in the bread. My stomach is usually good with cheese sticks and turkey sticks. Other than that everything I eat pisses my stomach off. It's a finicky little bitch now.
I still forget to eat especially if I'm at home. It will be 2-3 in the afternoon and I realize I haven't ate a dang thing all day. By the time my stomach is starving it is in literal pain. I have hunger PAINS.
Pain to the point I have to eat something right now because it hurts so bad. It's strange. I still struggle with dehydration. I try to drink often but I am definitely not as diligent as I need to be. I figure it will come with time. I have still not gotten into a exercise routine. I need to. I really want to run again. I love cardio but getting started is the hard part. I am going to have to work on it because there is a lot of excess skin I am noticing already. Another issue I deal with a lot now is constipation. That is something I really didn't consider being an issue but it most definitely is. It's normal for me to go 5-6 days without a bowel movement and its uncomfortable. I've stopped taking my iron for the past 2 weeks to try and get things regulated but it hasn't really helped. I'm sure there are secrets to the poop movement that I just haven't figured out yet. Yes shit talk is disgusting and its over now!
All in all I am happy with who I am becoming. I have a long way to go yet and I am so excited to continue the journey!! I've had amazing support from everyone. I haven't encountered anyone who has been overly negative. The people who care ask questions, send texts, and read my progress on this blog!!!
