Rough Week!

Apr 25, 2012

I haven't lost anything in the last week! What now? I've heard of the 3 week stall, but tomorrow will be the 3 week mark for me! Starting to freak out! I'm even exercising beyond what most people think is necessary at this point. Today I put in a little more water and more protein to see if that helps?

2 week check up

Apr 21, 2012

Just had my two week checkup on Friday and I've lost 31.5lbs since my pre-op appointment! I have also had a drastic change in my skin...my face isn't blotchy with dark spots anyomre. I think that it is my diabetes and acanthosis nigricans improving. I keep looking at myself in the mirror to see the changes!

Worked out Today!

Apr 16, 2012

I went to the gym for the first time today instead of going for a walk and did the eliptical and bike for a whole half hour! I probably could have kept going, but my doctor didn't give me any specific instructions on what I should exactly be doing for exercise....

Yep, I'm officially going to pull through!

Apr 11, 2012

I went to the cardiologist today...a car ride of 1 1/2 hours...thought it would be bad, but it wasn't! Of course I had a driver so I didn't have to be in a sitting position for hours. I didn't even take any pain meds today. I think I'm going to make it!

Tomorrow I start the "soft food" phase and it scares me and excites me all at the same time. I know of a lot of "good things" that I can try and chew to applesauce consistency. I feel as long as I measure things out to 1/4 cup and stay in the nutrition guidelines I might not get sick? I really hope not...

Lost 10lbs in the first week!

Post Surgery

Apr 09, 2012

I haven't posted since the day before my surgery becasue I haven't been feeling up to concentrating on anything. I'm finally feeling human today!

During my surgery they irritated my "vegal" nerve...which slowed my heart rate down to 35 sometimes down to 30. I was kept an extra day until it was in the upper 40s and mid 50s on a heart monitor.

The day home from surgery was pretty rough without all of the pain meds given at the hospital. The first night I was awake with a horrible headache.

The second night I decided to put up an air mattress to see if that was more "cushy" on my stomach and it worked miracles! Woke up this morning feeling tons better and did a lot of walking today.

The Day Before Surgery!

Apr 04, 2012

I'm so excited and scared! I've lost 10lbs on my pre-op diet as of today and am really excited about that too!

I am also starting to mourn foods already. Like hamburgers and steaks, knowing I won't be able to eat those for a while.

I have been to the store to buy baby food, that was an odd experience. I will also be "out of comission" for Easter dinner, so got a baby food called "holiday dinner!" I'll be in the corner with my baby spoon and baby food while everyone else eats turkey!
