Don't get much time to post....but had 2 big accomplishments this weekend. I ran in my 1st 5K, and wore form fitting clothing while doing it. Felt very good...My muscles are telling me otherwise right now though!!!!!! But looking forward to doing another one.
The scale will not budge....but Dr. C says she thinks I am where I will be until after my plastics....Hurry up March!!!!
Much Love to All!!!!!!

Sherri,
Wanted you to know I called and made my appt. for May 2010. She said no use in coming in until closer to time to have it done. But thinking I may move it up a tad....I want it done the first part of June and want them to have time to run it through insurance. Thanks!!!!

Topic: RE: Happy Saturday
Good Morning Chicks.....
I am doing a load of laundry, getting a shower, and then off to Curves, tan, and getting a pedicure.
Tonight I have to work the bar at the Moose.....
This weather is driving me nuts.....
I went to see the Dr. yesterday.......I have gained 2 pounds since she saw me 6 months ago. Everyone said that they consider that maintaining......So i poured my heart out to both Jessica and Dr. Cacucci.....Everything went well I guess. Dr. Cacucci said that she thinks I am where my body is happy....and that when I have my plastics that the scale will show that. She encouraged me to maintain and start towards my plastics......So next I am calling Dr. Bergman and Grasse......On the topic of my thyroid.....I have an overactive thyroid, and she has never seen that in someone post-op.....So i am talking to my internist about it.......She said that all my bloodwork was excellent, so continue what I am doing. I told her that I have bad days where I fall off the wagon.....she said that as long as I get back on AND continue doing my excerise I will be just fine. We also talked about how everyone tells us we look so good, but our brains fail to believe it, or OUR eyes to see it. All very normal and she said that it takes awhile.......
So then I scheduled out one year from now......
Then off to do some shopping with my Mom.....had a wonderful afternoon........
Ok, I go.......Love..Holly

Topic: RE: Low Thyroid Level.....
Ok so i went a month ago and had my annual blood work done.
Everything came back good except my thyroid level. It was low....Dr. said he wanted to repeat in a month. Went yesterday and had it drawn again....even lower than a month ago.
Sooooooo......How anyone dealt with low thyroid before? Is this something they see in WLS patients......
I am sooo tired, and have gained a few pounds.....not sure if this is due to the thyroid level or not.
I am waiting to hear from the Dr. office as to what I have to do next.
Any suggestions????
Love, Holly

Topic: RE: Pouch test - Day 3!
OK, Thank go**** is day 3.....
Finished my protein drink, waiting my 30 minutes to have hard boiled eggs......I am so ready.
Lunch is going to be tuna, maybe a little salsa....
We can still do the pudding and jello, right?
Tomorrow is my 2 year check up with Dr. Cacucci.....everyone cross your fingers it goes well.
I did get my thyroid results back about 5 last night. Unfortunately even lower than a month ago.....so waiting to hear from the Dr. as to what they will do with that.
Love you all......

Topic: RE: Pouch testers-Day two
Well I never though I would make it through Day 1, but I did. Managed to though!! Went to Curves, and even walked 4.5 miles with my Hubby before bed last night.
Protein for breakfast, SF choclate pudding, and jello. Lunch was cream of chicken soup.
Didnt get on the scale....will weigh Friday before I leave the house for the Dr. appt.
Ok, off to the Orthodontist and to have my thyroid level checked again.
Keep plugging away girls...we will prevail!!!!!!
Topic: RE: 5 day pouch test starting this morning!
This sucks, no other way to put it.
My head hunger is so bad I feel like I could eat the ass end of a huge cow.....
But I have had nothing but protein drink, water, de caf tea, tomato soup, and some pudding.
Just hoping the next 36 hours get by so I can chew again. I sure as heck hope the scale reads something good at the Dr. on Friday. My thyroid is low so going to have it drawn again tomorrow, I guess if it is still low I will be medicated...boy do I need that!! But it would explain my weight gain and lack of energy.....We shall see.....
Have thought of you girls so much today.....We can do this!!!!!
Tomorrow should be a little easier, right?!?
Hugs, Holly

Topic: RE: Need Help...5 Day Pouch Test....
Ok, I am at my wits end right. I have fallen off track.....or can't seem to claw my way back on, which ever way you want to look at it.
Can someone point me towards the 5 day pouch test?
If anyone wants to climb aboard with me, gosh knows I need some encouragement right now.
I feel so down and depressed, so tired. I go for a re-draw on my Thyroid level on Wednesday....not sure if that is part of the problem or not, we shall see.
All my other blood work is great.
I am so ashamed to see Dr. Cacucci on Friday and show a gain.....I think it is around 5 pounds from when I saw her 6 months ago. But i know I am up 6 pounds from what I was the 1st of March. Am I one that will not be one of the positive statistics?
Everyone says, have your plastics, and you will be right where you should be.....right now I am so down on myself that I feel like I dont even deserve plastics. For those a few more years out than some, is this just things we go through?
Please help........
Oh, sorry, I know there are hardships on this board so much bigger than mine, but just didnt know where to turn......

Topic: RE: Two Years Ago Today.......
Yep, hard to believe that 2 years ago today I was being annointed with Holy water from my Pastor before walking myself through the double doors and to the OR.
What a great 2 years.....don't get me wrong, I have had days where I wondered what in the he** I had done, here I sit, lost 100 pounds....down from a 26/28 to a 15 in Jr.s or a 12 in womens....of course it all depends on the brand and the design. Down from a 3x top to a medium or large.....
I mow the yard, go to Curves, love to try new things, love to go shopping(but tend to need someone with me to make me buy the correct size) I still want to hide under baggies!!
I still have about 15 pounds to go till goal. Will be scheduling my plastics consult this summer....hoping to have it all done by next summer.
I am not perfect at this by any means, but I do know that this is a lifestyle that is with me forever. Bless you Dr. Cacucci and St. V's Bariatrics!!!!!

Topic: RE: Happy Hump Day...!
Good morning all......
Today is anpther cold wet day. I just lack all motivation on these days.
I have spent two days de-weeding the flower beds, have ten bags of topsoil ready to put down....and then I can plant all my new stuff. My daughter is so excited to help. Now if it would quit raining and get sunny so we could.
Today brings cleaning the clutter off the bar.....and chasing after the daycare kids. Tonight is TaeKwonDo for my son, Curves for me....might even go tan afterword.
I am so frustrated with my weight loss.....Dr. C will surely not smile when she sees I have gained a few pounds since six months ago!!!! But got my bloodwork results in the mail yesterday and everything looks good. One of my thyroid levels is off so waiting to hear from my Internist about that.
This weekend....On Saturday I am going to Kokomo with a girlfriend....Kohls for a wedding gift, TJMaxx for a new purse, jewelry box, and a bookshelf, have to get a new mattress for my daughter, and then to Petco to get her a dwarf hamster. But time with a girlfriend is priceless!!!!!!
I hope everyone is doing well......I will have made it to Curves three nights in a row tonight......really want these last few pounds to disappear.......But seems my body is happy where it is......so what do you do?
Love to all....Holly
PS. I even removed my ticker because it just made me upset to look at it!!!!!

Topic: RE: It's Wednesday! Happy Hump Day!!
Good Morning All.....
I have been always lurking, but not posting much.
I am looking very forward to the clothing exchange. I will be there on time, kids are going to Grandmas...DH will be in Talladega for the Nascra Race. SOOOOO after the clothing exchange I am off for some much needed me time. If anyone wants to do anything let me know. I will stay overnight in Indy and head home on Sunday, AFTER I sleep in!!!!!
Busy today with laundry and babysitting children. Getting the camcorder charged up for tonight. Jason is testing for his Orange belt In TaeKwonDo. We are all super excited....he went through white belt much quicker than his instructor thought he would.
I have put 5 pounds back on......very pissed off at myself for this.....and am really struggling right now to get back on track. I have not posted about it though, I think there are bigger issues that need attention on the board right now.
With saying that......I had an amazing weekend at my Great Banquet.....and am working very hard to stay on track with my Faith. Although some days it is extremely hard. I know that God loves me unconditionally, and that I don't have to EARN his Grace, just accept it. Linda, and Ellen.....I think of you both daily in prayer!!!! God has a plan, just keeping putting one foot in front of the other.
OK, so if anyone has some good ideas to get my behind back on track....shoot me some ideas. Maybe my weekend in Indy will give me my spark back!!!!!
Love to all......Holly

I have been trying to get caught up on the boards from being gone.
The Grand Caymans and Ocho Rios Jamaica were both to beautiful for words. My Hubby and I had an amazing time. Got lots of beautiful pictures. I posted the pics from our formal dinner night. Definitely ready to book the next trip.
Wow is there a lot going on......I am sorry that I will miss bowling on Sunday. I am going through The Great Banquet, and won't get home until late Sunday evening. And Sunday happens to also be my 12th Wedding Anniv. But everyonewill be in my thoughts....especially Linda and the family.
Ok off to do laundry and feed kids.
