Kenneth M.R. Warnock M.D. When I first met Dr. Warnock I was impressed by his personality. He is a very friednly, caring, and understanding person. I have nver met a physician whose concern for his patients was so aparent. He is the only doctor I have ever had that actually wants me to call weekly to keep him updated on my status. You should know that he sets guidelines for you and though they may be hard they are for your benefit. So, follow them. He was very caredul to sit down and explain the pre-op, surgery, and post-op procedures with me. He was very thorough and kept me at ease abut the whole process. He even went as far to explain the plastic surgery he will do for me after I've lost all the weight! He thinks ahead. =]] And of course he gave me every opportunity to answer any questions I had. He is an amazing doctor and I would reccomend him to anyone seeking a bariatric surgeon.
I'm Holly! I just graduated with my bachelors degree in Sports and Fitness Management and now I'm working on my Masters degree in Higher Education. I started my weightloss journey in January of 2008 and I had surgery in April 2008. Now Im just working my way down the losers bench. Leave a comment or pm me! I love meeting new OH friends!! =]]
Today is my official 5 month surgiversary and IM IN ONEDERLAND!! I have never been so happy or proud of myself. I am finally getting back to the self I used to be. The happy go lucky fun girl that I once knew. I am almost smaller than I was all through high school, which is awesome. I get constant reminders everyday of my progress bc so many ppl are noticing! Things are on the up and up. more updates later!! =]]
Today is my 4 month surgiversary!! I have lost a total of 80lbs and Im so much happier now. I can fit into all my old clothes again and life is good. I still dont get in enough protein and im definetly not taking my vitamins everyday, but im working on it. My doc is gonna be pretty upset with me when he sees my labs. i know i have vitamin defeciencies. =/ but im getting better everyday and I'm almost to onederland! =]]
So I went to see my therapist and she said that to help control my emotions I need to start writing in a journal. And my form of a journal is a blog. =] And since I feel funny writing anything thats not WLS related on here I created a new one. The link is at the bottom of this blog. So check it out. I'll love you forever for leaving comments. <3
I just want to take a few minutes to update everyone. I am exactly 2 months out from my RNY today. And I'm not doing so well. Don't get me wrong I've lost 45 lbs in the past 2 months, but my energy level is WAY down. Im not getting enough protein and it's really starting to effect me. And Im starting to get really depressed. I've set myself on a protein shake diet for awhile to see if it gets any better and if it doesn't then It's back to the surgeon for me. Please keep me in your prayers! More updates later.
So I thought I would stop from the rigorous ways of everyday life and write a short blog about whats' been going on lately! Things have definetly been a rollercoaster. My good days are amazing. My bad days are horrific. And apparently I don't have in-between days. LOL My emotions are all over the place and I find myself getting upset easily lately. I don't know whats wrong, but Im sure it has something to do with my emotional attachment to food and caffenine. Im still having problems getting in 60g of protein. But on the flip side, my exercise routine is on the up. Im working out twice a day 4 days a week and only once 3 days a week, plus I'm back to coaching and running University Freshman Orientation. So Im ALWAYS on my feet and I always have a bottle of water in my hand! =]] Now if I could only get some dang protein in I'd be good.
As a rule of thumb from my doc Im not allowed to look at the scale anywhere except for his office. I've found this to be a good AND a bad thing. I can see the weight falling off, but when I dont see it I get upset and have an emotional breakdown. It is so not pretty and I hate that I'm having to relearn how to deal with emotions. But I guess that goes with becoming healthy again. Ah. It'll all be ok. I have to keep reminding myself that. I am learning to resisit foods I dont need. I am also learning that apparently I have NO dumping syndrome. I dump on nothing. Things are consistently up and down. Right now they are on the up and up. Hope all is well with my OH family!! I promise to update more frequently! Love you all! <3
