Welcome To My Journey....Better Buckle Up It Could Get Bumpy !!!!
I'm Back !! on March 2, 2007 7:08 am
Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Been alot going on here. Finally got moved and everything in place.
Been having problems keeping food and water down, it's like I told the dr.... I dont think I've been this sick my whole life as I have this past month. So, he put me on Compazine and Pepcid ( again ), to see if that helps..he's giving me 10 days to feel better....then he will schedule a endoscopy. I can understand the food... but the water ?? 2 sips of water and I'm sick sick. Who knows??
On the brighter side......
I have lost another 29 pounds last month, for a total of 63 pounds gone for good :) Have gone from 345 before surgery to 272 now !! Even being sick is worth it !!
Hope everyone is well and happy,
Huggs to All,
Lori
First CheckUp on January 12, 2007 5:48 pm
Hi everyone !!
I had my first check up on the 10th.
Everything looks good and I even lost 34 pounds !! Poof..... gone forever :)
I was expecting maybe 20 if I was lucky !!
It really about floored me !!
Now, if I can only stand all this liquid diet until the 21st !!! Getting very bored with it..but then again I'm not hungry...just that something else sounds better !! Oh for a scrambled egg or some cottage cheese !!!!! Only 9 more days !!
Still having a problem getting all my protein in.... I'm finding most of it is disgusting.... its got to be the unflavored for me..even that pushes it some. Maybe its all the sickening sweet ?? That's almost a laugh.... sweets has always been my downfall.
Ohh.. and had my first WOW moment today..... I got dressed this morning, and put on the same pants I wore to the hospital...now of course they were a tad loose, to allow for swelling.....but.... I sure dont want to wear them outside of the house now.... I keep losing them !!!! If I dont keep hold of them they fall off :) :)
I guess thats all for now.. I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend !!

13 Days Post-Op on January 3, 2007 9:43 am
Hi Everyone !!
Well, here I am 13 days post-op and feeling a whole lot better. I tried to post something as soon as I came home, but all I wanted to do was cry. I was just miserable, and wondering what in the hell I did to myself. But I am feeling better now, my energy is starting to come back, and I can tell I've lost .... dont know how much ( no scale ) but I can tell...and so can other people. I'm still having problems getting all my protein and liquids in. I sip all day and now I'm up to 1 1/2 -2 bottles of water a day. Guess its just slow going. I have no desire to eat anything. Which is a good thing, I'm not even having much of the head hunger going on...that I'm truly grateful for.
My fiancee and I broke up on new years day... happy new year to me. But, we are still best friends and he is still one of my biggest supporters. There is still hope for us, just some family problems that has to be settled. Still hurts tho. That was the first time I've had a hunger pain since surgery... I ignored it and it went away. Havent had one since. Maybe head hunger.????
Going to town today, to do some errands... pay bills etc. We'll see how I feel when I get home.
I'd also like to thank Terri for comming up to the hospital to see me, and for the goody bag of proteins !! Huggs to you gf.
Thats all for now, Hope everyone had a safe and happy new years !!
Huggs,
Lori

My Story Lets see, where do I start. I didn't start out a chubby baby, child, teen, or even young adult. When I was pregnant for my only child, I did gain alot of weight, but it also came off fast after delivery. I've worked all my life, majority of that time in convience store work. Not too much exercise there, started gaining slowly then had a pretty good fall and hurt my knees. From there it went downhill. Couldn't do a whole lot, managed to work for a little while longer, have been off work now for 3 years,not able to exercise, its hard to even walk w/o pain and the weight just piled on.I need knee replacement surgery on both knees, but only after I lose down to 180. I've tried all kinds of diets, only to lose some weight and gain it right back. So, this is my final, desperate attempt at getting a healthy life back. So...The Journey Begins.........
