4 days after surgery
on February 19, 2011 6:30 am
I finally got home last night.  my blood pressure was too low and finally last night it went up  enough for me to go home.  Im so glad to be home.  All in all so far everything is good.  i have lots of pain but the liquid percoset is doing its job.  I started stage 3 of my post op diet and got full real fast.  i think this my be a struggle for me but i will take it day by day. 

My hospital stay was ok but hey  who likes being there its gets real tiring after a while especially when everyone that had the surgery the same day you did got to go home a day and a half sooner. i had to stay longer because my blood pressure was reading too low.   still no regrets. 

im so thankful that i picked dr sandor, i just love his personality.  i met him about a year ago for diverticulitis and he is sooo fun.  he has been such a positive influence for me he has never given me any doubt that i cant do this.   and its so cool knowing that the nursing staff really like him and have no problem telling you that :-)  this is the 3rd surger he has done for me and hopefully the last. 

I took a shower this morning and feel so much better.   I am thankful to the Lord for the strength to go thorough this as well as all my other medical proplems in the past year.  hope fully this will resolve most if not all of them;

2 days to go!

I have 2 more days to go until my surgery.   The pre op diet has been difficult but im sticking to it, ive done really well with it.  (SURPRISED MYSELF LOL).  I actually physically feel better now that i have gotten most of the bad toxens out of my body.  And i have told myself i will eat only healthy from now on.   The day I got my surgery date i had to start on the pre op and my last bad meal was from Papa gino's.  i had some mozzerella sticks and chicken fingers.  I knew when i was eating it, it was the last time i would be eating these things.  So even though surgery is hard and risky i have a feeling its not going to be the most difficult thing about this journey.

My Story

my journey began on friday 2/4/11.   I weigh 247lbs and my weight loss goal is 135lbs.  i am having surgery on 2/15/11.  Im a little nervous but at the same time i know i will be relieved when the weight comes off and my whole being is healthier.  I am on day 9 of  my clear liquid protein diet.  Im doing very well with it .

I am a Christian Baptist and i know the Lord is with me through this whole journey.  I love him so much for all the inspiration he gives me through other people and especially my church family.  I have two awesome children both boys named Matthew who is getting married to Becca a wonderful girl in June this year. and Tyler he is a senior in high school. I am married to a wonderful man. His name is Phil.  We have been married for 23 years and I love him soooooo much he is my best friend and biggest supporter.  My best friend in the whole world Is Carla. She is the mother of my  sons Fiance Becca.  I met her through my son a little over a year ago  and it was like we just knew each other for so long.  Its amazing how God works.  I actually met her at church where my son was going with his Fiance.  And we have been close ever since.  She is my shoulder when I need one and her love and friendship is unconditional.   So here is 2 families that came together through God and their children. 

My weight problem began after I had my first child Matt in 1990.  Essentially i never lost the baby fat and just got bigger bigger.  My problem is im definitely addicted to food.  My whole life is surrounded by food.  I have to change my relationship with food.  I usually dont eat because im hungry, well i guess it starts off like that but i over eat because of the taste and the way if feels going down.  I dont finish until im so full i cant move.  I also have wicked chocolate cravings. 
Here we are 21 years later and i have high blood pressure (i take medication), sleep apnea ( i use a cpap mahine and just hate it), my cholosterol is 225 (i refuse to go on medication because i know that when i lose weight it will go down), i have abnormal liver function im sure due to fatty liver.  and i take anti depressants.  the only thing i dont have yet is diabities.
