    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else.

Another week another 5 pounds...  I'm down to 210 now.  I just hope the weight loss will put the brakes on when I get closer to goal...  Feeling better all the time.  It is so nice to have tubes gone.

Pants are getting big.  Almost ready to go to an smaller size.  38!!!  I'll be happy at 36!!!

4 Weeks Post Op... 5-20-2008

4 Weeks since my journey began... 5 more pounds that will not be gained back!!! I go today to the dr to hopefully take out my drain from the infection... I've had a drain for one reason or another since the operation... What a pain in the ... Stomach! I went on a trip for 2 days that turned out kind of stressful and it appears that the flying and everything helped me break the stall I had for the past 2 weeks!!! Hopefully I'm on my way down again for at least couple of weeks!!!

 

Update!!! I finally got the tube removed... WHat a pain that was... Trying to "work around" that all the time. You can't lay comfortably, can't sleep right for fear that you might do something to the tube, it's just an all around nuisance! Now it is gone!!!

Well, 3 weeks have come and gone since my surgery.  My infection is still hanging on.  Tried to have the drain taken out yesterday.  Not yet ready.  Maybe next week.  I have become stuck on the 30 pounds lost.  I guess that was "my after surgery boost."  So, I'm stuck at 220.  I always get stuck there.  I guess something will happen to get the ball rolling again...  They say that after 2 weeks the stall happens...  I'm not too worried.  I have this sleeve for life and so 2 weeks is a tiny amount of time by comparison!!!

Well, it has been a long 2 weeks. I have lost 30 pounds. I think some of it had to do with the surgery and some had to do with being sick. I hate to say anything about this because some may link it to the Dr. I honestly do not think it was my Dr.'s fault. I am very susceptible to infection, so who knows what caused it.

I had one of my incisions become infected. I spent a day in the hospital and they drained it.  .5 liter of nasty smelly stuff...  They took out one drain and inserted another. Anyway, I am feeling much better now and eating (drinking) and less fever...

I am happy for the 30 pound loss but only now my strength is coming back. I'm sure I felt rotten because of the infection. Now that they've drained the abscess, hopefully the drugs will sound the final death nell for this vile thing!!! I am extremely happy with my sleeve. It's kind of strange to not even have hunger, eating because I actually have to. Amazing...  All I can say is keep your wounds clean...  Infections are not fun...
