Making Progress
on November 18, 2008 8:27 pm
Hello to all.....
Just posting an updae, I am sitting all wired up because I just came from the gym.  Yes I wen to the gym at 9:15pm and worked out for an hour, I like going because it's my time, no kids and no husband, I love.  I never thought I would say that.....Any  who....I am almost one month  out, and I have found that aI can eat albocore tuna fish, salmon and chicken oh and grond turkey, the only problem is I am running out of things to make, you know I like a variety.  Oh and by the way I went back to work on november 10th, I am extremely tired at the end of the day, but I have realized if I space out my vitamins  my energy level will last longer,   The weight loss has started again I am so excited, I am not going to post my weight loss until my 2nd month out, I will tell you  that I have been loosing weight.  I would also like to add that the water and protein plays a very big part.
****If I could go back and change one thing about this entire process I would research more about the phychiological part about the what you eat after the surgery
, *****THE MIND IS NOTHING TO BE PLAYED WITH*****
YOU NEED WILL POWER, DETERMINATION.................................OH AND BUNCH OF NEW HOBBIES

I have to tell myself everyday at least 3 times per day that I am not hungry. I need to remember that   ***OLD HABITS DIE HARD***  I wish the urge to eat would hurry up and DIE.  Well I could go on on on on but I wont,.

To al you newcomers stay positive, it's a long process but well worth, think about the things you are going to do instead of EAT.

HEAD HUNGER
on October 28, 2008 8:25 am
Hello,, to all
.

I am writing this for myself and any new comers loking to take this new found journey. The first 3- 5 days after RNY .  I started to think what have I done to myself, was it because of the **pain** no no pain that I coudnt handle, it was because I WAS HUNGRY or i thought!!!!! I was hungry, andevery commercial taht came on TV was about FOOD FOOD FOOD, i wanted to eate some potatoe chips and I wanted to bite the donnoughts/  The I could not figure ut if I was hungry or if I was full, it took me about 2 days to figure out but I finally got!!! i am on week 2 and I have realized that food is not all that, hahahah.  I didnt realize the MIND could play tricks on you like, ....THE HUNGER .IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD...All you have to do is FIGHT It.  It's almost like a drug you GO thru WITHDRAWLS.  But in the end it s all well worth, this is a tool and we gotta use it to the best of our ability......Talk to u soon

Update
on October 24, 2008 7:08 am
Hello, All today I feel pretty good,  I have made a SERIOUS decision to stay upstairs in my bedroom and clean, instead of going downstairs near the kitchen, I have also decided not to watch any cooking channels either all of that is just to tempting, yesterday all I could think a bout was some burgers and fries, I kept thinking all I need is just one bite!!!!! and  would be okay.  So today I have a couple of projects planned to keep myself busy. 

I am also going to start planning for my whole liquids for the upcoming week.


I plan to tell u all about stay at the Atlanta Medical Center but not just yet, I will say the appearance of the place was pretty decent, I had a private room, and the staff was pretty good, I think I was more upset on how fast they rushed me out of there,  I was thinking I pay all this money for this insurance every month and I am 100% covered and they rush me off like this, but anyway thats a differnt story for a different day.

My Story

Well here's my story.....I am married woman with 3 children all girls I might add.  They are the love of my life, however I have been overwieght my entire adult life.  When I say I have tried everything to loose weight I mean EVERYTHING.  I wll be the 40 this year, and it time for a change...They always say  

"You get the same results if you keep doing the same thing" So i if I try something different I will get differnt results.  I praying this tool will allow me to take a new journey and start a new beginning

I have new dreams, hopes and aspirations.  I would like to go tot he amusement park with my family without fat swollen ankles, and beeing too hot becaue I am affraid to wear a pair of shorts because my thighs are too fat and they rub together. I want to go in public with my husband and not have people looking at the two of wondering what does he want with that fat girl.  

I took the first step to a new me.  

April 19, 2008  I attended the Bariatric Seminar, it was an eyeopener this tool can really work for me, please allow me the chance to take advantage of it.    Waiting for appointment withn surgeon.

April 21, I called insurance company (Aetna) to confirm the surgery would be covered, and yes it isCOVERED.

April 22..I  filled out the 10 page packet about my life medical history took a full clothed picture of myself and mailed back to the Doctor's office.

April 23 ...I am going to sit tight and wait to hear my next move should be.
April 26...Still waiting
