SURGERY DATE POSTPONED.... AGAIN! :-(
on March 22, 2012 11:19 am
MY SURGERY HAS BEEN POSTPONED.... AGAIN. THIS TIME BECAUSE OF ME, NOT THE SURGEON. I CAN'T HAVE SURGERY UNTIL MAY 10TH NOW BECAUSE MY BLOOD SUGARS ARE A LITTLE HIGH. I WAS JUST RECENTLY (ABOUT A WEEK AGO) DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES, TYPE 2. MY SURGEON AND HIS TEAM WANTS ME TO HAVE MY BLOOD SUGARS UNDER CONTROL FOR A LEAST A MONTH. NOW I HAVE 49 DAYS LEFT UNTIL SURGERY. I AM SO VERY DISAPPOINTED BUT I KNOW IT'S FOR THE BEST BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE AT HIGH RISK FOR WOUND INFECTION. WELL, I HAVE 49 DAYS TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT SO THAT'S A GOOD THING. ALSO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET MY SUGARS UNDER CONTROL. THAT MEANS WATCHING EVERYTHING I EAT AND DRINK. NO MORE SODAS, SWEETS OR HIGH CARBS. FRUITS, VEGGIES, PROTEIN AND LOW CARB, SUGAR FREE PRODUCTS. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD BUT I KNOW I CAN DO THIS. I  AM NOT GOING TO LET THE OBESITY OR DIABETES DISEASES CONTROL  ME. I AM GOING TO BE IN CONTROL. I AM SO READY TO BE HEALTHY AND FIT. NOW IS THE TIME. THANKS FOR READING MY BLOG

FEELING VERY BUMMED RIGHT NOW.....
on March 22, 2012 8:07 am
SOOOO, I HAVE TYPE 2 DIABLETES. I WAS WALKING AROUND NOT KNOWING I HAD IT. I JUST FOUND OUT A WEEK AGO. MY SUGARS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HIGH, BUT IT GOT SO HIGH THAT I START FEELING SYMPTOMS THE OTHER DAY. I KNEW I HAD TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I WAS EXTREMELY THIRSTY, PEEING ALOT, TIRED, BLURRY VISION. I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. WELL.... WHEN I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL MY BLOOD SUGARS WERE IN THE 400'S. SCARY!!! THANK GOD I WAS ALRIGHT THOUGH. ALL LABS CAME OUT CLEAR. GOD IS GOOD. I ONLY STAYED OVERNIGHT. MY SUGARS CAME FROM 400'S TO 200'S. I WAS DISCHARGED ON METFORMIN AND HUMILIN (INSULIN). I AM BUMMED ABOUT THAT. I HAD TO INJECT INSULIN WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY SON 2 YEARS AGO, I WAS A GESTATIONAL DIABETIC. NOW YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT AFTER I HAD MY SON AND MY BLOOD SUGARDS RETURNED NORMAL THAT I WOULD HAVE DONE RIGHT BY MYSELF BY WATCHING WHAT I WAS EATING AND TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT.... NOPE!!!! MY HEAD IS SO DAMN HARD!!!! I DON'T LISTEN. SMH. NOW HERE I AM 50 LBS HEAVIER AND HAVE TYPE 2 DIABETES. ONLY 26 YEARS OLD. SAD. SO NOW MY JOB IS TOO WATCH WHAT I EAT, EVERYTHING I EAT AND DRINK TOO. TAKE MY MEDS, TAKE MY BLOOD SUGAR AND LOG MY SUGARS. THE NURSE PRACTIONER OVER AT THE BARIATRIC PROGRAM I AM IN, WANTS MY BLOOD SUGARS TO BE NO MORE THAN 180. RIGHT NOW IT'S STILL CREEPING  IN THE 200'S. I NEED TO GET IT DOWN. THIS IS SO HARD BUT I KNOW I CAN DO IT AND GET THROUGH IT. I JUST REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE SURGERY TO CLOSE TO ME OR MY SON'S BIRTHDAY. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND ENJOY MYSELF. SINCE I HAVE A MONTH TO GET MY BLOOD SUGARS UNDER CONTROL, I NEED TO START A EXERCISE/WORK-OUT PROGRAM. PLUS EAT HEALTHY AND MAKE SURE I TAKE MY MEDS AND TAKING AND LOGGING MY SUGAR. I PLAN ON LOWERING THESE NUMBERS SO THERE WILL BE NO MORE POSTPONING! I STILL CAN'T HELP BUT TO FEEL SAD.  I SO WANTED TO HAVE MY SURGERY ON THE 12TH BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

21 Days Left Until VSG Surgery!!!
on March 15, 2012 9:02 pm
 Well, it is now 3 weeks left until my VSG surgery. I am excited, nervous and anxious.I just want to ge tthis over with and start losing weight. I want to exercise and be healthy!  I am so looking forward to my new life. I have to have a IVC filter placed on March 26th, and also have to start my Pre-Op Diet March 22nd. Luckily it is not a all liquid diet. It's 1000 calories per day. I can live with that! I met with my Physical Therapist today, he is extremely nice. I will be going 3 times a week. I'm going for back pain . I am working on getting stronger muscles (haven't used those in awhile) and essentially not having any more back pain so I am looking forward to my sessions. I am not gym ready yet so I believe this will prepare me for the gym, which is great!

My Story

I'm 25 years old and I am considered to be "MORBIDLY OBESE". Ouch that hurts! I am only 5 ft 3 inches tall and weight 306. I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and high cholesterol. I never ever thought I would reach 300 lbs. My highest weight was 327 when I gave birth to my son. I am a mother of one son, my baby boy who is 9 months old. His name is Jordyn and he means everything to me. This is for me but for him also because he deserves a healthy mother.

I have always struggled with my weight since I was about 12 years old. I was the chubby girl in the class. I wasn't the only one but it still didn't make me feel good. I relaize I am not supposed to be this heavy. God did not make me to be this way. I am obese because of poor habits. Eating the wrong things, eating for the wrong reasons (boredom, depression). Brain hunger is one of my biggest problems. Not being hungry but thinking I am hungry. It is a constant struggle and batte. I am what you call an emotional eater and I know surgery can't cure that. That is something that I will have to work on everyday and change. It's psycological. I was thinking about going to a therapist or psycologist to channel these issues. I suffer from depression due to close loses in my family. The death of my brother and my grandmother. After my brother was killed I gained about 60 lbs. Then when my grandmother passed, we were very close, I gained like another 25. It's been rough but it gets better and better. I have tried numerous diets and have lost all about 35 lbs max and then gain it all back. I need a different approach. I have alot of people telling me, "Bryana, don't get surgery, you can do it on your own."  Then I have others routing me on and telling me to go for it. So of course I have that voice in the back of my mind telling me not to do it. I am going to pray that God guides me to the right direction. That's all I can do. All I know is I have to get this weight off whether from surgery or diet and exercise.
