5 Weeks Post op and other stuff

5 Weeks ago today I had My gastric Sleeve Surgery.  There have been some rough patches, I haven't lost the hunger at all, I"m like always hungry, and it sucks sooooo much.  Oh and I happen to be allergic to either my favorite protein powder (click) that I've found so far, or to the yummy Carmel (torani sugar free) syrup I add to it, not sure, and not sure when I'm going to test them separately to see if i have a reaction.  I tried this new Protein powder today called turbo chocolate platinum hydro whey, it actually tasted decent, but unfortunately gave me a really bad stomach ache and made me extremely nauseated, luckily i didn't drink very much before i got the stomach problems.  I have several samples of different protein powders and that was one of them, so luckily i don't have a big container of the stuff.  I'm keeping track of which ones i like, hate, or don't make me feel to good. 
Went to the gym yesterday and did water aerobics for about 45 minutes or so, was going to go again today but unfortunately when we got home last night we came home to a hot house, our ac was busted so today we had to wait around at home all day for the ac people to come look at it and ended up having to spend about a little under 300 on it, which uggggg we don't have right now, well we luckily did only because i hadn't paid mortgage yet, but I'll be able to pay that on Thursday, but that 300 dollars was suppose to go to get a new lawnmower Thursday, our 1 and a half acres is growing like crazy, haven't had a lawnmower in a long time, but hopefully we'll still be able to get one soon... but any extra money we had we were going to put towards our minivan cause that eats away all our  money, at 700 a month, so we got it down some, and we should hopefully have it paid off this year if nothing else breaks, so yea the extra money we were going to be putting on the van went to the ac being fixed and to the lawnmower, so that sucks. 
Oh and also you'd think being 60 pounds lighter would give me more energy, but no, my back kills me when i do anything, just doing dishes, or sitting, or standing or cooking, uggg, my lower back just hurts, and my left hip, and my left leg, and my legs feel wobbly or something when i walk, its weird, maybe my thyroid levels are off again i know that causes me all kinds of pains and problems, but luckily today i went in for blood tests for my thyroid so I'll hear back from my doctor soon. 

Abnormal EKG and other ramblings

Well I had my pre op testing done last Friday and got the call today Monday that my EKG was abnormal, oh great, this means i have to go see a  cardiologist, after playing phone tag today finally got an appointment with a cardiologist tomorrow.....uggg stressing cause we only have 70 dollars in the bank and i don't know how much the visit is, hopefully it won't be to bad.  I hate being broke...but anyways on to other things, I really don't want my surgery to be changed, I hope everything will be fine tomorrow, I think I've waited long enough already to get this surgery done, not to mention my husband already requested two weeks off of work to be with me, so ugggg, I don't know what to do.  Well all i can do is hope for the best. 
I've already lost 29 pounds since Jan 1, I'm so happy, i just can't wait to lose more.  I already feel more comfortable, i actually had a little space in between my belly and steering wheel in my car...that was nice...i hate when it touches...not comfy at all.  People have told me they notice it in my face, and even in my personality.  I've been like extra hyper lately...bouncing off the walls.  I love having energy, my thyroid levels are finally at a good place and I have a lot of energy now, before i couldn't really do anything, and i was so depressed, it was not fun at all.  I've been running around my house this past month cleaning like crazy and going through things and donating, trying to get rid of clutter, it looks a lot nicer now.
Oh great product alert, you have to try shirataki noodles also known as miracle noodles or yam noodles, they vary from 0 calories up to 40 calories for an entire package, you have to prepare them correctly though...lots of rinsing, because they are in this liquid that has a fishy smell, but it washes away with some hot water, and then cut the noodles with scissors and then throw them in a non stick pan, no need for oil or anything and just heat till there's no more liquid coming out, and then i like to add about a tbsp of minced garlic from the little jars...adds a little flavor, and its great as spagetti pasta or noodles in a stir fry, i even tried a mock lasagna the other day layered the fettucine shaped noodles with ricotta and sauce and ground turkey, and some mozzerella, came out pretty good, even my 9 year old stepson liked it, couldn't tell the difference with the noodles.  Well thats it for tonight, its getting close to midnight and i have my cardiologist appointment in the morning....probably won't be able to fall asleep easily with that on my mind.
