Finally at home......
on August 23, 2012 6:25 am
Well finally i got to come home yesterday. I was excited, to come home to my own bed. But also afraid. I am so scared that I will not be able to fit in all my liquids that the drs are drilling me to get in. everything tastes like crap. I am very nauseated and afriad that i will end up back into the hospital. Laying in bed last night my mind was running in every different direction. I kept thinking to myself was this really worth it??? I am taking the meds the best i can but everything trys to come right back up. even pepto which i have never had a problem with before. The smell just makes me quueezy~~~~~ yuck~ i am ready to fast forward through this part and get to the better part.... For all of those that have had surgery the past few days/weeks I wish you all the best.

But i went back to the surgeons office today and i am set for 8/20/12 - he said this is set in stone!!! so back to the liver shrinking diet and i go on the 17th for my pre-admission appointment. I'm soo ready for this. :)

SO I'M A LITTLE LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OUT FROM MY SCHEDULED SURGERY, AND I AM HAVING ALL THE COMPULSIVE EMOITIONS THAT MOST HAVE, THE SECOND THOUGHTS, FEELING IF THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING? AFTER ALL THE FAILED DIETS, AND WORK-OUT PLANS...... WILL THIS 1 REALLY WORK???

I HAVE TO PUT FAITH INTO MYSELF AND KEEP TO THE PLAN, I HAVE PUT THIS OFF FOR YEARS, NO ONE IS GOING TO DO IT FOR ME, I HAV TO BE THEONE WHO HAS TO TAKE THE STEPS!!! i'VE ALREADY TAKEN THE BIGGEST AND THAT WAS PRECEDING WITH SURGERY.

I AM READY TO SEE THE NEW ME AND TO HAVE THE ENERGY TO PUSH THROUGH WORKOUTS AND FUN ACTIVITIES WITH OUT FEELING LIKE I AM GOING TO PASS OUT.
IM READY TO GO SHOPPING IN THE "NON- fAT" STORES AS A FRIEND CALLS IT. (lol)

My Story

I have always been heavy for my height ofcourse. I had always bee picked on through out high school and to be honest i wasnt that "huge" as they made me feel! however as the years went on i began to just block it out of my mind but I couldnt' think i would staythat size forever. After I met my husband my weight began to rise even more. When i was in high school the most iever weighed was after an injury that made me non weight bearing for 8weeks and during this time i was bored so i ate way more than usual! mu weight rose to a high of 194, but i pushed myself to get it down between 170 nand 75 how ever after getting married i didn't worry about my weight, my eating habits, etc. Today i am at my heaviest at 247-250!!! I have tried multiple diets and intense work outs to loose weight i would kill myself in the gm and maybe only have a 10lb lost, which is nice, HOWEVER........... the day i stop and take a day off - i would slip back into my old routine and think oh i have done well then next thing you know im 15 pounds heavier!
:( I pondered on the idea for a couple of years of having weight loss surgery. But i would talk myself out of it eac time i was ready to make an appt to see the doctor or go to a seminar. Finially in march I said you know what its time for me to start living for me!! I want to be more active and enjoy my life! so i started the process of starting my journey to a new me!!!
