About 3 weeks in...

Okay ,I am really confused...I don't understand how i'm losing the weight...I'm hardly doing anything...I checked my weight today, but it was after I ate a spinach salad w/ mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, an egg w/out the yolk, and broccoli...and i topped it off w/ 2 lemon wedges...and a water...I've had a lot of water today...I've been sweating so much...I hate it...I went to school and had another water...I didn't have any shakes today..I think I'm done w/ them...It doesn't do anything...I am going to see if I can sell them back or something...I lost 2 lbs today and I seriously think it's from the sweat...I am going to talk to the doctor about this...I am worried...So what happens when I get off the pills...am I going to gain weight from drinking water...I went to pick up the kids about 3 hours after lunch and I had 2 pieces of adobo and a little bit of rice...about a size of my palm...I have been getting headaches since Monday too...This only happened to me once when I first started the adipex...I am going to start working out next week...Maybe 3 times a week...

My surgery was 6 days ago and I felt better since yesterday...I know I have a follow up on the 14th I think...I still need to see my ob/gyn cause I have mirena and I have my period for almost 2 weeks now...So I just weighed myself...I am 187 lbs...That's a total of  16 lbs in 3 weeks....

UPDATE

Okay...So I had my laparoscopy on Thursday afternoon...I don't remember them even putting me to sleep... I woke up and I was in a lot of pain so the nurse gave me something...I threw up a lot that day, but it got better...The pain hasn't really gone away though...I am taking Oxycodone and 4 Ibuprofen every 4 hours...It knocks me out too...B's mom has Gabs for the second night in a row... It helps out a lot cause I can sleep through the night...I wish I was back to normal already..My diet is non existing right now and I've actually gained 4 lbs in this week...I'm not going to the restroom regularly...I'll blog again later...

Monday is Gabs birthday=)

Day 12

I couldn't blog this weekend...It was crazy...On Saturday, well Sunday, I went to the ER because my upper stomach was hurting sooooo bad...It turned out to be gall stones and I need to have my gallbladder removed...I have never felt so much pain in my whole life...it was worse than labor pains...I thought I was going to die because the pain was so bad I almost fainted...Well, Saturday I was fine...I went to a movie w/ Lisa and saw Love Happens...Then i went to my mom's house and ate a fish filet and spinach....for dinner I had two chicken thighs w/ marinade...Around 10 pm is when my pain started...Well, I am having surgery on Thursday and my mom has been driving me around...My sister slept at my house last night and since I've been drugged up, it helped a lot...The doctor gave me Hydrocodone and I love it...I actually had morphine at the ER...it was soooooo awesome how fast it worked...I take the meds every 6 hours...B can't make it home because he can't get his passport...I wish he was here...but i can't do anything about it...Yesterday I didn't eat at all, but today I had a bag of steamed veggies, 2 crackers, 3 pieces of turkey from a lunchables, and half of the roast beef and cheese from a sub...and I had a popsicle...I am not a good mood.. I will probably blog again when I feel better...

Day 9

I totally forgot to blog yesterday...i was kind of busy...I went to my weigh in...I was really happy because i lost 10 pounds in one week...but my happiness ended quickly when the doctor brought out my blood work...I am border line diabetic and I was prescribed glucophage....Then the dr. told me that I was at high risk of heart disease...I am 26 years old...I have two kids and a husband...I don't want to leave them...I decided I am not only doing this for B anymore, I'm doing this for everyone...I am not going down like that...I switched over to the modified plan which is 3 shakes and 1 meal...I also have snacks in between of course...but I feel like i've been so busy I don't even have time for the shakes...Yesterday, I had to study and then go to church and it was B's brother's birthday so i didn't really get a chance to eat anything until it was almost bed time...I had a pack of the SteamFresh Veggies...I ate today...I had a shake for breakfast and lunch, and then I had about 5 pieces of broccoli that was steamed...I also had a small chicken breast filet tonight..I am on my regla so I am so cranky...=( I feel bad for my sisters and mom cause I hardly talked...I'm calling M now to tell her I wasn't mad...Gabs didn't take a nap all day..She slept at my m.i.l. house last night and she said Gabs was really good today...Ty wasn't there cause Gem was off...Gabs likes when she has Lola all to her self...Then we visited my mom since I picked up A from school...

Got an 85 on my A&P quiz today...I'm happy cause it was REALLY hard...

B wants to go to the PI again...It's always off and on...It's going to cost over 5000 for the family to go...I am sad cause I wanted to use that $ to pay off the stuff for B's car...We'd only stay for 12 days if we do go though...

Day 7

I can't believe I've done this for 7 days...It's not as bad as I thought it would be because of the phentermine I think...I don't know...I wish I could do one more week of this profast, but it's too expensive...I am going back tomorrow and getting on the 3/1 plan...Today I had a shake for breakfast w/ my pills...Then I went and got a Blackened Steak Salad, but didn't eat anything but
1 1/2 pieces of steak and some lettuce and water...Then i had a water at school...I had another shake for dinner...I had 1 bit of pancit...I ate 6 small shrimp for dinner...not filling...and then had a chocolate shake...

Tomorrow I weigh in..Wish me luck!

Day 6

Well, today was not a good day...not because of the fasting, but because of other things...I am having a hard time with one of my classes and Gabs wasn't having a good day either...It'll be better tomorrow...

So, I woke up and made a shake...i can't even remember what kind it was=) and then I dropped the kids off and had a shake to go...I had a water at Wal Mart...Went to eat and had another water...I couldn't eat anything though...I had another shake when I came home around 3 o'clock...I ate half a turkey breast slice...water...and my last shake was around 5...It's almost 9PM...I don't think i'll have another shake tonite... I have hardly any appetite... I don't think it has anything to do with the shakes or the water though...It's the Adepix that the dr. prescribed me...If i could get that prescribed, I'd be fine... I am going to try to find a way...

One good thing that happened today...my agenda is ready=) and I finally sent B another package...

Day 5

This is going to be quick because Gab wants me to sit and watch KaiLan with her... I woke up this morning and drank a shake and took my meds...I left around 10 oclock and took a shake with me to go...I drank 2 bottles of water at school and felt like my bladder was going to explode at one point...I ate half a broiled spot fish at my in laws...then i ate my salad again, but put salmon on top instead of chicken.. I was tired...I ate 1 piece of turkey breast...I also had a popsicle today...I had a shake around 8 pm also...i weighed in today at 196.8...I don't feel or look any different..so just because the scale says that, it doesn't mean anything to me...I was thinking of going on Slim Fast cause it'd be cheaper but wouldn't come with the vitamins and the Phentermine...I love that stuff...It's great...I don't have too many cravings and my heart doesn't beat so fast...like other otc diet pills...I have an appointment on Thursday, but I don't have the money yet...

Well, that's it for now...G'nite...

Day 4



Today was my 4th full day of the Pro Fast diet...I have been a little crampy, but that could be my regla...I woke up around 8am and took my pills and tried to have a shake, but I couldn't because I wasn't hungry....I went to church and had another shake around 1 o'clock...I stayed at my parents house and around 2:30 went over to my in laws house...I had 2 pieces of chicken...maybe 1 oz..at the most...and 6 pieces of cyote veggies...I also had a pink lemonade drink, around 5....I just came home and it's 7 oclock now...I decided to have dinner tonite...I had one grilled chicken breast, which is about 6 oz and a small handful of spinach, 2 tomato wedges, and 4 slices of mushroom.... I was actually full and still had 2 pieces of chicken left, and I ate it, I know I shouldn't have though...I am drinking ice water with my salad....I will not be eating anymore tonite and if I do get hungry, I'll have a shake..My mom gave me something to crush my ice...

So, I was a little worried because I read online that a woman recently died after this crash diet... how is it called a crash diet...I don't really understand that...The article says it was unhealthy that she only had about 500 calories a day, which is what I'm doing...I am going to bring that up do my doctor tomorrow...I weighed myself today...I don't know, I should not have done that...I am down 5lbs...It doesn't make a difference though...It's just water weight...

This weekend was interesting because I spent time with both families...Here are pics of my new Louis Vuitton books...I love them...They're so interesting...

Hardest day

Today was the hardest day so far...I feel like such a wimp too...I just keep talking to myself and saying that if I can't do this I will never do...I woke up, had a shake and took my pills...Then I went to my nephew's soccer game...I had two bottles of water there...Then I went to the PO and then to the commissary with my lil sister...I had another bottle of water...and a shake...I had to stop by the mall to pick up some makeup i pre ordered a while back and my lil sister bought bourbon chicken which is my favorite...it smelled so good...I came home after an hour at my parents house and put my kids to sleep...Had another shake...Then off to my in laws house where i had a piece of fish which was very small about the size of my palm and there was hardly meat in it...maybe about 3 oz or 4 at the most...and then i had 1 cherry tomato there too...it was cut in 1/4 ths.. I went to my moms house and ate some veggies... but only a little...I came home and 1 piece of a 3 gram turkey slice...This was the most i've eaten since Wednesday...I feel like I've done bad, but really it wasn't too much...but still...i don't think I should be eating like this...I can't believe that I can have a sugar free popsicle because they are soooo good...30 calories but 11 grams of carbs...so i didnt eat it...i wanted some food today though...i think because everyone around me was eating really good food today...i just sat down and i'm about to study for bio and i have a bottle of cold water with me...i'm not going to give in...Tomorrow...i am going to double up een more of the water...

48 hours of fasting

Day 2 of fasting...I had a shake at 6:30 AM Vanilla flavor, which was not bad at all... I had another shake around 9:30 AM but switched it to Strawberry... I got home from school around 3:30 and drank another shake, but it was Chocolate...I drank plenty of water in between...I went to the restroom a lot more today than I did yesterday...I ate 3 Shrimp today...Around 9:30 I drank another shake, mint chocolate, and a little bit of the chicken noodle soup....I feel okay, but not very full either...This weekend is going to be hard..At least I have a lot of studying to do, so that should keep me busy... I have a quiz Monday...

On another note...Gabs and I went to Mommy and Me Tea Time at the Little Gym today and it was sooooo much fun....It was nice to see her have a lot of fun like that... Brando has a black eye from falling off the bed..I feel so bad! 

Good Night and Good Fasting...

First Day Update

Just thought I'd give an update on how the very first day went...I did not eat anything all day accept for the Food Supplements...I was not hungry all day until around now, it's 9:30...I am hoping I can fall asleep...It's a good thing that there is no food in the house! =) I have 6 more days to go...I do not feel sick or feel like I'm starving...I feel good about it...I think if I can get past the first 3 days, it should get easier....

Weight Loss


Today I start my 7 day fast...I really hope it works out okay...I haven't been happy with my weight since I had my son...I wish it were easy to lose weight...I went to my first appointment at the metabolic medical center...the people were very nice and helpful...the doctor prescribed me an phentermine and about 5 or 6 vitamins to make sure I get enough nutrients while I fast...It's 4PM and i've had 1/2 a pill, all vitamins, and 2 shakes , and 3 bottles of water...I am supposed to drink a lot of water while fasting...After my first week I am supposed to add back 2 meals a day and 2 shakes a day...There is a strict diet plan...I will let you know all about it when i start...I am so anxious...I wish it were already 4 months from today and I can see how I look and see if it works...I just want to look "okay" for B when he comes home...I have 12 weeks till he comes home and that is enough time to lose enough weight for him to notice...I am extremely obese and you know what B said when I told him I'm fat..."No, you're not fat!" it's so sweet of him to lie..I am sooooo big...I don't even see myself in the mirror anymore....I am tired of being sad about it and I am going to do something about it...I hope I can do it!!! Today is my MIL's birthday and there is Lechon, and Ribs and Pancit and Publix Cake...If I can get past this, I can get past anything!!! Here it goes...Here's my body!! I hope we'll see results....I weighed in at 203 lbs...The heaviest I've ever been my whole life...I can't believe I'm posting this picture! I hope nobody reads my blog!
