My brother will be home today for a few days. He is taking some tests because he is going to be working with the Navy Seals when he re-enlists. He’s got to take a swimming test and all. I’m sure he will pass them all because he is smart and fit.
I don’t know if I never noticed before or if this just happened, but I can feel my collar bones really well now. They actually stick out.
I am able to eat now. Thursday night I ate some sushi really slow and it didn’t get stuck. Yesterday I had some of half a tuna fish sandwich.
I didn’t go to the gym Thursday since I barely slept the night before. I went yesterday.
I talked to Andrew last night and we didn’t get on each other’s nerves. I told him to move in with me once he gets out of the Navy and when he will be looking for a job. He says he doesn’t know. I think he may.
I want to get my cat declawed, but I don’t know after all the bad stuff I read about it. They say that it’s painful and major surgery.
I can’t wait to see my brother tonight. I want him to see how much weight I have lost. He is the one that gave me $500.00 for the classes I needed to take. That is unless I go out with Christy tonight. She wants to do something for her birthday, but I don’t know if I’ll go. Her other friends will be there, and I am not so sure I like them all that much.
I always get distracted when I am posting. I guess I’ll post this so I can look for shoes to buy.

I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN. I HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST HALF HOUR. I HAD 4 TRISCUIT CRACKER THINGS, AND THEY ARE STUCK SO BAD. I THREW UP 6 OR 7 TIMES. OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT HURTS SO BAD. I WANT TO GO THE THE ER, BUT I KNOW THERE’S NOTHING THEY CAN DO.
I think it MAY have went down. I am chewing REALLY well too.
This is what my stomach looks like. My doctor told me that it gets stuck in your esophagus, and that’s what it normally feels like, but after this last fill, it feels like it is getting stuck in my stomach.

Fuck, I just threw up lemonade.

Awwwww the mail man that has has a crush on me just delivered my GPS. He said “you look good.” I said “thank you, I’ve lost 50 pounds.” He said “I could tell when you were outside.” He is SO sweet. Too bad I don’t like black guys, and he is pretty cute too. He looks very clean cut and well put together.
The FedEx man I always used to see delivered Andy’s crate. He said “oh you have dogs now.” He remembered that I always used to order stuff from thatfishplace.com (the BEST prices and customer service for fish supplies). I haven’t seen him in years. I remembered that he has Koi.
The UPS man came yesterday, and my dogs were barking as usual. He said “as many times as I come here, and you still bark at me.” Guess what!!?!?!?! It was HOT UPS guy. I want him so bad, but I love Andrew.
I went to the gym this morning. I did 40 minutes of cardio. Actually 37 minutes. I did 17 on the bike. The bike seats look new and nice and all, but they hurt my ass and vagina so bad. The treadmills are usually all taken. I can’t do the stair machine or elliptical. There was a free treadmill, so I did 20 minutes on that.
Here’s my belt. I need a new one, obviously. The left is where I have to buckle it now. The right is where I used to have to buckle it. I punched those 3 holes in it yesterday. I was trying to get it right. One of the size 16 jeans I have now is too big on me.

I am getting kind of annoyed with Andrew, and he is getting kind of annoyed with me. We have been talking on the phone too much. We are running out of things to say to each other. I thought that it wasn’t possible, but I guess it is. I am glad he’ll be gone all this week.
Andy woke me up because he had to go out
I am nervous about driving to Norfolk today. My mom took me to the hospital to show me how to get there, but it’s still confusing. She even went the wrong way when we left, which confused me more. I should be okay on the way there.
I worked my ass off in the gym yesterday. I need to start drinking my protein because I am barely eating anything, but it tastes so nasty.
I am going back to bed. I’ll post this later.
I went to Norfolk today, and I am surprised I lived through it. The class was totally dumb, so it was a waste of time. The traffic was SOOOOO bad. Andrew better not move to a place with a lot of traffic. I hate driving so much.
I am in so much pain!!!!!!!!!!!! My attempt to eat solid food did not go so well. Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk it hurtsssssssssssssssss. I just threw up 3 times. I think I need to a 4th. No, I think it just went down. It is kind of torture and makes me think if the surgery was worth it. It HURTS SO BAD!!!!!!!! So much for eating the sushi I just bought. That’s what I was trying to eat. I had two pieces. I want some food so bad.
I should post this. I’ve been writing it for almost 24 hours.

I have lost 50 pounds (including the 20 before the surgery). Yippie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost two pounds this morning.

What should I do to celebrate? Eat some Wendy’s? Ha, I am just kidding. My parents said they would take me to Bone Fish when I am under 200. That way I can have some healthy fish. Only 9 more pounds to go until I will be under 200.

I tried to eat scrambled eggs today (Egg Beaters), and they got stuck. That is on the “soft” foods list. I guess it’s more pudding and yogurt (which they call liquids). I think I am actually filled too much, but I am not going to tell my doctor. I can’t imagine eating something solid. I am only supposed to be on liquid (pudding, yogurt and whatever else) for 2 days. It’s been 3 since I got filled. The more filled I am, the better. I want to throw up my own spit lol. That seriously actually happens if you get filled too much.
I’ve only missed going to the gym one day… the day they installed my new carpet. I’ve been keeping myself busy, but I am still online a lot. I cleaned my bathtub today (yuck), did a bunch of laundry, changed my sheets, washed my blanket, and ran the dishwasher. I went to the gym, of course. Went to the bank. I guess today has been boring, but it was good for me because I slept last night. I am so happy lately. Sleep = Happy. Awake during the daytime = Happy. Getting along with Andrew = Happy. There’s nothing more I could ask for, except to move in with Andrew right now. He is going to be out to sea all next week
I am scared because I have to drive to Norfolk on Tuesday. I have a post-op class at the hospital I had my surgery at. I HATE Norfolk. It is SO confusing to me. My mom was going to take off, but her boss has the day off, so she can’t have it off. I wish my GPS would be here, but it won’t before then. I don’t know, maybe. Nah… it shipped on Saturday, and it’s coming from the USPS, so I know it won’t. It probably would be here on Tuesday if it came through UPS.
Edit-
Ha, Andy hasn’t had any accidents in 2 days, so I drop my pudding spoon and get pudding all over my new carpet. Figures.

First of all, I lost another pound today. That’s 3 pounds in two days. It did say 209, then I weighed myself again, and it said 210. It usually doesn’t change, so I don’t know why it did.

Andrew played a cruel joke on me tonight. I brought up something I did, and I said that I thought it was funny. He said “you know what’s funny?” Then he hung the phone up on me!!!!! Then he kept his phone off for like 2 hours!!!!! I thought I ruined everything. I didn’t tell him this, but I was FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!! I was trying so hard not to go psycho. I called my mom crying SO bad. Then she picked me up and took me shopping at the mall, and Christy’s daughter played in the play center they have (of course we were with her). I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo depressed. I thought for sure I ruined everything. I got two pajama shirts to match the pajamas I have. I didn’t pay any attention to them while I was there getting the pajama bottoms. I was still soooooooooooooooo depressed. So we all get in the car, and I call him to see if his phone is on yet, and he answers. He told me he was just fucking with me
He did say he was disappointed in me, but he’s not mad.
I am telling you, I was crying BAD. I almost took my cell phone and threw it up against the wall. I used to always throw stuff when I would get pissed off. I’ve never hit anybody (with my hands), but I threw a Taco Bell drink on my friend Maria and a coffee cup at my brother’s best friend’s head. I think that’s all I’ve thrown at people. My brother’s best friend always jokes me about it. He says I tried to kill him with a coffee cup lol. Oh wait… I’ve hit Chris (my ex) before. I used to have this very popular Nokia. I wish I could find the one. The AT&T people used to call it “the die hard Nokia”, and it freaking was too. I’d throw that thing so many times, and it’d fall apart, and you’d put it together again, and it would work perfectly lol. I had that phone for a long time. It was the first phone I ever had, and I was 18. It’s the same phone number and contract I have now. Wow, 7 years.
The moment Andrew told me he was fucking with me, I snapped out of it. I was so happy!!!! See I ALWAYS overreact.
Edit-
I think this was the phone:

I ordered this GPS yesterday. It got great reviews, so I picked that one. Who the hell believes the “list price” is $969.22 and you actually save 71%? I need one in case I move with Andrew. I said “in case” because nothing is written in stone. If things continue to go well, I am sure I have nothing to worry about.
I finally emailed him and asked his ass when he will be home. I guess it was too much for him to email me without me asking. I know he’ll answer me, but God knows how long it will take him.
Yesterday was a mess, IMO. The guys were assholes. I was hoping they would help me move my treadmill, since I didn’t have a place to put it. Luckily I thought to put it in the kitchen. They were assholes, so they probably wouldn’t have helped me. They are not supposed to move any electronics. One of the guys was so old that I am surprised he could lift a hammer. He was literally hunched over. But he did a good job and surprised me. It took them over 3 hours. I had a headache, needed my medicine, was starving, was out of cigarettes, and was thirsty. Every single thing I needed was in the kitchen, which I couldn’t get in because of the treadmill.
I lost another pound yesterday. I lost two pounds yesterday. I am at 211 now. I am hoping to be under 200 by my next fill (next month). I should be able to do it. I didn’t go to the gym because I was exhausted by the time they left. They left after 6pm. I was stuck here, bored, from when I woke up at 9am, until 6pm. I am .3 pounds away from losing another pound. I should lose it today.
We are supposed to get 1-4 inches of snow tonight! I am so excited. But I bet you anything it wont stick since it is supposed to rain first. If it even snows. They say it all the time, and it never does. I always get all excited, and then it never happens. I think they say it just to get viewers. I think I said this before, but they’ll say something like “watch 13 news at 6 to find out if we will have winter weather”. Then the news comes on, and there’s going to be no winter weather. I am sick of it. They are always teasing us.
I woke up at 5am. I am going to be miserable tonight. I hope I can go back to sleep, but I am pretty sure I won’t be able to.
Edit-
He’s home!!!!! He just had duty yesterday.

(A furniture store is installing my carpet.) The stupid place installing my carpet just called. They called me an hour ago telling me that they were on their way. Then they just call and say that their work called them and said that they have to do another job first, and they’ll be here at 2. That would be fine, EXCEPT I moved the treadmill into the kitchen, and I can’t even get into it. I won’t be hungry before then, but what if I get thirsty. He asked me if it was alright, and I should have said no.
You know how my new coffee table opens at the top? I need to make sure to tell them not to lift it by the top or they will break it. I’m sure they’d replace it, but who knows if the furniture store has more. I’d be pissed if I had to get a coffee table that didn’t match.
I lost a pound this morning.

I will be so excited in 13 more pounds.
Edit-
It’s 2:10 and I just called them, and they said that they were about 30 minutes away, plus they have to finish that job. I am SO PISSED that they had to do another job after they told me they were on their way. So this other job was more important than mine? I just called the furniture store and complained. It kind of sucks, though, because now they are going to come here after I complained about them, and they are going to think I am a bitch. I am SO pissed off.
I don’t even know if they work for the furniture store. I know a lot of companies sub contract it out (or whatever it’s called).

I got a fill today. I think he gave me a good one, considering I only lost 3 fucking pounds this month. It’s my fault for not going back earlier to get it filled more. I know it’s filled good because I just ate a small yogurt, and it went down really slow. It hurt a little. I am on liquids for 2 days
My big incision that he sticks it in is also all bruised. He didn’t bruise me last time.
I also went to the gym today. Yayyy for 4 days in a row. I am going to go there and do cardio every day.
The people will be here to install my carpet tomorrow.
I have to go to the grocery store to get sugar free pudding. All I am going to eat is pudding and yogurt. I can’t do chicken broth anymore.
Picked up my pants from being hemmed today. Went to my mom’s to make sure no one was there with my cousin.
The first night I took Seroquel, I slept for 15 hours! Last night I took it, and I woke up about every hour. Oh shitttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. I have to crush all my pills tonight
:( Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That Trazodone is NASTY. I can’t stand getting it stuck in my mouth when it doesn’t go down. OMG ewwwwwwwwwwww. I am not looking forward to this. I am also not crushing my Lamictal. I have to take 8, and they are very small pills. I’ll swallow 2 at a time. This could all take a while. I need to start taking it soon. Damn it.
And I knew Andrew could not be trusted. I told him to email me if he is gone for more than 3 days. It’s day 4, and he hasn’t emailed me. I know he will answer me when I email him. I just thought it would be nice for him to email me and tell me without me having to ask him. Men. Andrew. Pffft.
Edit-
I just ate 1 1/2 things of pudding, and I am about to EXPLODE. I feel like I just ate a whole pizza. I am sooooooooooo full. This is great! I love it! I was not filled nearly as good last time. You don’t understand… I AM FULL!!!!!!!!!!!! I shouldn’t even have even eaten as much as I did.
