Hallelujah for Pepcid AC!!!!!

So I've been doing really good on eating. The only issue I have is acid reflux. I've been taking tums and its not really working, but decided to try some off brand chewable Pepcid AC. And OMG, it works pretty instantly! Gotta be careful with that stuff or it could become addictive lol. But hey, it works! So excited about that.  I'm still in the soft foods stage, and I'm eating things I'm probably not supposed to be eating like pork, and there's probably other things too. It started as an accident but now that I'm finding it doesn't affect me or hurt me, I'm tempted to keep on it. Now I'm not an idiot. I'm not gonna go out and eat hard chewy stuff like steak or cashews or popcorn. But shredded pork, yes. Spam, yes. Cracker, yes.

We went to a festival this morning and you know festivals have all the fried stuff; fried pickles, oreos, snickers, you name it, its fried. And they have just about everything edible you can think of. Well, it smelled so stinkin good. I told my mom if I didn't have my sleeve, I'd be going to get me something (anything) right now because it just smells so good...and I'm not even hungry. Goes to show that we as ordinary individuals just like to EAT. We can smell it and just eat without being hungry, and that's how our population is so overweight. But with the sleeve, I'm not hungry and I'm still full from my 3 bites or pulled pork 3 hours ago (lol), and I know if I were to put anything else in my mouth, I would absolutely puke : / So....I'm very thankful for my sleeve :D

More weight loss!!

Yay for more weight loss, something I should probably get used to, huh? lol ...Well I had stayed at 178 for a couple days there thinking I'd hit a stall, but apparently not. Dropped to 174 this morning. Yay!!! I didn't think I'd even make it to the 160's by the end of October, and its only the beginning. So maybe I will. I'm a couple days in on soft foods. I've done very well I think. Not gotten sick. I have however decided that I'm trying to eat too much. Two ounces is probably the max I can take. I get very bloated and yucky feeling. Like I ate some chicken and cheese off my husbands nacho plate at the mexican restaurant at 11am this morning. And I've felt bloated all day; didn't eat dinner. Snacked a little on some pork roast my husband cooked only because I couldn't keep my hands off of it. Not because I was hungry or even felt the least bit empty. Now I just feel even worse. Live and learn. Tomorrow will be better.

But on a lighter note, side pains have somewhat subsided, fingers crossed. Didn't really have any today, very slightly, but too minor to count. I can move a lot easier without any pain. I'm really crossing my fingers, toes, legs and arms hoping that its going away for good. If ya got a minute, cross something for me for extra power lol
