To not have to use an asthma inhaler

Well I am in the midst of losing a little weight for my surgery. I am needing to lose 7 pounds before my surgery. So I have cut out all sugar, and I am trying to eat low fat everything. Nate and I have started walking at night. It is nice we have about a mile route and it is a good thing to share together. We have been looking for a way to spend time together. We are going to go and get me a bathing suit in the next couple of days so that I can start water aerobics. Nates parents are leaving in 2 days for  the east coast. They will be gone until the beginning of November. So when they come home I will have been about 5 to 6 weeks after my surgery so I am hoping that maybe it will be a drastic loss and that they will be proud of me. I am really hoping that I am alot stronger in my legs and everything by the time the surgery comes around so that excersize won't be a hard thing to experience. I have sat around so much over the past 4 years that my leg muscles are so weak.

I have a new nephew in my life he is now a month old, he is so precious and my niece (his mommy) have been spending alot of time together, scrapbooking, at the scrapbooking store that I work at. So I get to be with both my niece and her baby and it makes me so happy.

Well I have just been rambling but that is what is going on with me. I will update you more here soon... hugs... Trina 

Hello~ Well I got the call on wednesday!! My surgery is October 1st! I am very excited.

I spent a couple days in the hospital, I got very sick on Sunday afternoon and my asthma flared up. I could barely breathe. My hubby had to call 911 by the time the ambulance had gotten here my oxygen saturation was 76%. I have never gotten below 80%. So I wasn't doing well. The doctor let me go on tuesday evening, so getting the call on wednesday was a much needed boost!

I start my nutrician classes on the 15th of september so I prob won't be on here again until then.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Hugs, trina

Well I am waiting on the letter to come in the mail that says when my nutrician classes. As soon as I get that I can call and get a surgery date.

I met a girl tonight that had had the surgery 5 years ago.... she was totally gorging herself in food all day and she was very overweight too. When she heard that I am having the surgery she gave me a bunch of horror advice. I was so unimpressed.

I am hoping to get things a little more pinned down here soon. Otherwise I am helping out at a scrapbook store here in town and having fun doing that.

I did get a call from the psycologist and she said that I need to have counseling while I am going through this process... I agree it is a huge life change and I may need some help processing all the changes.

Hope everyone out there is good! Hugs, trina

Well I have had my appointments with the ditetion (sp) and psyciatrist.... Again my spelling is horrible!!!

So now I am passed that. The lady that I saw last yesterday said that they will have a meeting and staff whether I am qualified for the program (she said I should be fine) and then they will call me with a surgery date and the dates for the nutrician classes that you take before surgery. So It is coming along quite quickly, it is just kinda hit me that I am just 3 nutrician classes away! Holy Crap!

So Baby news, My niece found out that she was pregnant about 3 weeks ago.... She has had womanly problems and didn't think she would getpregnant so if she didn't get sick or start showing we all thought she was just gaining some weight.  Well we found out last week at her ultra Sound that she has 2 weeks left in her pregnancy!!! Can you believe it... As soon as she found out she was pregnant that baby just dropped and she said now she knew what all the funny stomach movement was. She is having a boy, at this point he is about  6 and 1/2 pounds.  I am so excited we havent really had a baby in our family since 1995 and that was my niece but her mother never let the family meet her until she was 2 , and she passed away at the age of 4. So it really has been since stephanie herself was born that we in our intermeteate family. We are sooooo excited.

So that is what is up right now.... I am doing a stampin up order right now so I better get off here. Happy losing everybody!!! Hugs!

Well since the last time I wrote We have moved home to Oregon... Things are looking up for us.... I am still very sick with this acid reflux and having alot of trouble with that but it is cool because I am close to family that are being very supportive.

I had an appointment with my surgeon on tuesday I wasn't supposed to see him until July 22nd but there was a cancellation and so they called me and moved my appointment up! I was so excited, I also met with the nursing coordinator, and the financial person.... SO that is all taken care of and I only have to lose 5 pounds by my surgery and they said that as long as I don't put anymore weight on they will be happy, I am taking 40 mg of Prednisone a day and that doesn't let you loose any weight... So hopefully my weight gain is over from it...

So my next appointment is July 2nd I meet with the Diatician and the phyciatrist.  So that is what is next for me! Nate is doing really well, not drinking at all and working at the University of Oregon for a local Union Electrical contractor he was promoted to Forman a couple days ago. He feels really good he rides his bike to the rideshare and gets on the bus and rides 20 miles north to Eugene... So we are really happy to be home again.

Well that is all for now!
