Yeah, panic is back. Heartburn isn't (although my throat is a bit scratchy).. but my stomach.. aches. Not like "feeling sick" ache. just Uncomfortable ache. And Ronnie had mentioned something about if my surgeon had fixed a hiatal hernia during my surgery I wouldn't be having these symptoms.. What if he didn't fix or mention a hernia? as far as I know I've never had one to fix.
The most worrying part of this is, it's supposed to snow like 20 inches starting soon, and going through saturday. (not to mention the fact that it'll be the weekend) Do call and see what they say?
I'm sure the fact that I can drink water just fine still is promising .. but achy isn't. I have mushies and soups for the next few days. Maybe just tough it out till monday.
looking back through communications with Kaiser, in sept, and Nov. I'd mentioned my stomach aching too. (Nov was when I went in for a bit of an unfill) .. For sure calling the surgeon, just not sure when I can get in there. *sigh* I hate complications.
*edit* surgeon has been called, message left. Plan is unless I hear otherwise I'm doing soups and mushies this weekend.
<3
*edit #2* surgeon called back, told me to get some liquid mylanta and/or prilosec and if it gets worse over the weekend call him to see him monday or tuesday.

Sorry For the Panic
Yeah, sorry about panicking yesterday. I just always tend to jump to the worst possible conclusion.
And while I suppose it is possible that having JUST the heartburn could mean I have a slipped band, odds are it Is probably something more along the lines of eating too much. So now I'm going to focus on really trying hard to follow my bandster rules. Even if this means strapping a measuring cup to my purse to bring with me everywhere. I know I've been eating more than I should. So not too uprising if that's the cause of heartburn feeling (and dur, I shouldn't if anything because that can lead to a slipped band) ..
So we're going on to focusing on being good!
And bundling up for the foot of snow we're supposed to get starting tonight. *sigh*

A little advice?
I hate having such a pessimistic head. The last couple of days (maybe just one?) after eating (which i can do mostly just fine, just a little pain to let me know to chew more) I've had a burning in my throat afterwards. I wonder is this a new heartburn? I used to have really bad/constant heartburn pre-band. But from day one after surgery, no more prilosec for me ( I was so thrilled!)
So I'm wondering, is this a new way for me to feel heartburn? and if so.. does this mean a slipped band? I can eat just fine (probably too much .. which I've read can cause a slipped band) I can drink just fine (after the first couple of hours of my day). Nothing else feels weird, just this throat heartburn.
Since last night though I've been worried about a slipped band. Looking up symptoms online, and heartburn is the only one I can tick off. But I know I've been eating too much lately. *sigh* now I'm obsessively worrying about it. Do I call my surgeon? Do I just do a few days of liquids and see if all is better?
HELP!

I'm awesome (in a bad way)
Yeah, I'm totally awesome at making excuses.
Some of them are legit. Like my knee really hurt a few weeks ago, and it also hurt this week (I cleaned all the things! on Tuesday, and my knee has hurt like a mo-fo since then)
Some of them I feel are legit, but if I really really wanted to lose this weight and get fit etc, i'd find a way to work it. For example Nora totally inspired me to check out the Body Pump classes at my gym.. so I go online to look at class schedules and that class for my gym is offered 2 days a week (well 3, but I'm at work for the third) one at 5:45 pm, and one at 6:45 pm. I get to the gym at 4pm, and am typically done with cardio around 5. I could probably stretch it and stay till 5:45.. and not get home/have dinner till almost 7.. but 6:45? yeah, no. I could go home, and have dinner, and go back to the gym.. but I know me. The reason I go to the gym at 4 is it's on my way home from work, don't have to stop/sit down. Because if I'm home, I'm so not leaving again. There is one gym that's "close" that has a bit better times (5:30/6:30) and four days a week I could get to, but it's like 20 min out of my way. *sigh* So i'm back to figuring out weights on my own until I can afford a trainer (never).
On the plus side I AM going home and doing the beginning of Ronnie's 200 sit-ups and I'm also going to try the 100 push ups too. I should also do the 200(!!!) squats program.. but that's just scary.
On another plus side I should be down this week unless something happens between now and sunday ( a distinct possibility).. I've been seeing 218-219 in the mornings for the last few days. so yay!
Of course since I talked about it on not weigh in day, I've jinxed it ;)

It's one of THOSE days...
Willpower, I lacks it.
oy, it's 11:45 and I'm technically 57 calories over my daily amount according myfitnesspal. awesome.
I'd totally be okay with this if it was 9pm. I think i need to cut out/down on my sweet coffee drinks. I DO get the sugar free/no whip/skim milk versions.. which helps but that's still almost 300 calories.
It was the stupid "Broncos party" .. I had some not in my plan cheese and chips and salsa. and a milky way.
I don't get why I'm so much MORE addicted to sugar food than I was before sugary. Before I very very rarely had dessert of any kind. No candy bars, no pints of ice cream.. whatever. After? holy cow, just don't take me down the ice cream isle. (although it always seems like the day after downing ice cream i have a loss of weight.. go figure)
anyways.. this is me going RAWR at myself. Bad me, stick to the plan!

My brain is awesome before going to bed!
Yup, My brain is awesome and motivated when I'm laying in bed trying to sleep.
Last night I decided (for the zillionth time) to be a more productive person! Brain said "tomorrow after work you're going to :
1) go to the gym
2) Do Ronnie's 200 sit ups program (or at least look into it, which i did, and downloaded the app)
3) clean the cat litter
4) clean the kitchen
5) make dinner
6) clean the bathroom
7) vacuum whole house (silly fluffy cats)
8) do laundry INCLUDING folding and putting away clean stuff (that part never seems to happen)
9) maybe try my Jillian 30 day shred video I've had for 2+ years and never ever looked at so far.
.. and yeah, you see where this is going. Odds of me doing ALL of this.. slim to none. But maybe if I put it out there for the world to see I'll get more done that just "make dinner and do the cat litter" which is the more likely option.
I think I need to learn how to get more organized/motivated. Because there ARE people out there that do this all the time. le sigh
On weight news, I *think* I almost entered a new decade. Yesterday morning I got on the scale to 222.? .. but I saw that it was sitting on a grout line on the tile. So I moved it, and then was 219.? (i checked 3 times in a row the same!). No celebrating yet though, this morning was 221, and it's not sunday! but it's nice to see things moving again. :D

Losing weight would be easier if I didn't have a Job!
Apparently none of the various boot camp places that have been offering deals on group*on and/or living*social lately cater to people that actually work. This latest one I see today is close enough to my home that I could justify the drive there, but it's mon/wed/fri either 6am or 9am. at 6 I'm already getting on the train to get to work, and by 9 i'm two hours into my work day. Just like I discovered even if I wanted to get up early enough to gym before work, I can't, as my gym opens at 5:30. (but trust me, getting up at 4:30 is early enough)
This makes me think of the people that say "oh yeah I lost my weight easy! I just went to the gym 2/4/6 hours a day" .. well yeah, I'm pretty sure if I had the time, I could do that too. Just like "Celebrity lost her 40lbs baby weight in 6 weeks!" .. with a personal trainer, personal chef and hours and hours a day working out.
This is where my mom gets on my case about being negative, and not to worry about others and do what I can.. and she's right. But I'm still stuck with "it's not fair" and "i could do well if I had those advantages too!" and so I'll still wait for the money fairy so I can hire a trainer... which means losing weight would be easier if I had a better job. so either no job, better job. blah.
