well hello my Oh friends so its been about a month sense I've written to ya .... Last time I wrote too ya was to let ya know how i was doing... Well the pills i was taking for my stomach were making me sick so i just stop taking them and I've been doing great w/ out them ... I'm able to keep my food and liquids down ... yes sometimes i do get sick but that's normal w/ this surgery .... I had a lil scare last month... I thought I was pregnant but thank god i wasn't just my friend playing games w/ me ...hahahahahaha... my hubby  was mad, he was like i can't be having no more kids cause r 2 kids r big already.... and financially we can't afford it right now.. w/ me not working and comp playing games w/ me... I went though so many shots to my back that nothing seems to be working ..... I hate being in so much pain .... as I sit here to write my friends my back feels like its on fire and i don't like taking the meds for the pain cause all they do is have me sleepy and i can't stand it... I can't wait to get my laptop back running so that way I can lay on the sofa and write u guys more often.... I go see my digestive disease Dr next week and tell the nurse that I've stopped the pills she gave me and see what she has to say about it ... Well I'll keep ya posted till then my OH friends..

hey my OH friends just want to give u guys a heads up on how I'm doing..... well as of yesterday i still haven't been able to eat which i do but it comes up and that shit sucks cause my throat is raw and it hurts like hell....I'm able to keep fluids in but  I can't take in alot but at least I can keep some in fluids ... I called the Dr and they were like if u can't keep in fluids then u have to go into the ER i was like hell no I'm not going into the hospital all they do is treat people like shit and take Ur money... so i tarted to force myself to drink ... yeah sometimes it comes up but shit the way i see it something does stay in cause I'm not losing tons of weight I'm still at 147 haven't gained or lose so I feel that i must be keeping in some nutrients...  well today i was able to keep in my breakfast  I ate a banana and a plain donut  I noticed that i didn't  take the pill the Dr gave my to prevent me from barfing and i was able to keep my food down but for lunch i took it and up came my lunch so I'm just gonna stop that pill and the iron pill cause all they r doing is making me sick.. when i see the Dr next I'm gonna let him now cause i can't deal w/ that shit..... I'm just gonna keep on taking my caltrates, vitamins, birth control , and my anti acid pill just like i was doing before and see how that goes... I still haven't been able to work out but today i feel like I'm in the mood to work out ... I'll go on the TV and go on the fitness channel and see how i do ... gonna get my daughter to work out w/ me too cause  she starting to fit in my cloths and she is only 11 and I'm trying not to let her get over weight and have the problems i had to go thur ... well my friends have to end this conversation here i'll try to post again later and let ya know if i worked out or not.....

My Story

Hello my name is Iris... I have been over weight for about 9 years now.... I ended up gaining my weight after I had my 2nd child...My highest weight was 265lbs....I did diet plans and I even tried diet pills...They worked for a while and then I ended up gaining my weight even more.... I went to see Dr.G about 3 yrs ago and I chickened out on the first visit...This year I went to my Dr.'s office and I was told I had HBP and border line diabeties that scared me cause my mom suffers from HBP and my sister has diabeties........Me and my boyfriend talked about me having the surgery and he said he gave me his support.... I took the next step and called Dr.G's office and made a apt. to see him..... His nurse Karen set up all my apt's and then I found out that I had something wrong w/ my heart so that was a set back...I ran some test and the Card. Dr. gave the go ahead for my surgery....Surgery date was scaduale for 8/23/07................
