WORK IT OUT.
Jul 16, 2007
Ok so now that the ball is officially rolling and I am down 24 lbs as of 7/12/07 (I only weigh in at the doctors otherwise I'd go crazy). I really feel the need to work out. I want this to go as quickly as possible. Even though everyone is like don't worry it will happen, take your time....time shmime. I am gettin down and dirty! One month is this Wednesday I feel physically able to work out and I know that now I am totally able to. I love to just look at my thighs and arms and know that they look and feel thinner. So that feeling alone is causing me to want more and more of that. I found this work out channel on DIrect TV FIT TV and I can do it in the comfort and privacy of my own room. I love it. I dred going to the Gym because I am uncomfortable in working out in front of people...so this could be the answer. My sister's wedding is Sept. 2nd, I know that I won't be like 120 by then but I can at least look a little toned! Ahhhh I am so excited for this next year! It is going to be so awesome!
LOST 24 & not that gay show with Kiefer Sutherland.

Ok so I woke up this morning and went to my Nutrition class with my doctor's office... and I sat through it and talked and learned and got a whole lot of useful information that I am excited to use....so help progress my weight loss. After class was over I looked at her and asked okay can I weigh myself?????? So excited because I don't weigh myself at home...just at the doctor's cause I know their scale is correct...and guess what I am down to 318 lbs..which puts me at 24lbs in 3 weeks! She told me when I walked up to the scale that she could tell that I've lost weight... I felt sooo excited I think she is the first person to say that that isn't family! Wooohooo! It felt really good! Plus I am going to be able to drink at my sister's wedding(notice I am not noting this on the boards because jeez I wouldn't want to hear about it). So all in all today was a good day (like Ice Cube said). I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I AM ABLE TO EAT SOFT SOLIDS.... OH MY GOSH.... fish, chicken, veggies, etc. REFRIED BEANS!
2 weeks post-op!
Jul 05, 2007
I'm Stylin and profilin...I feel good. I won't lie it's not great to be on liquid diets, I don't have as much energy and I do miss food. But suprisingly it isn't quite as difficult as I would think you know? I don't feel terribly starving. It's hard to be around on holidays like 4th of July...where BBQing is life and drinking alcohol is a necessity. But I made it...everything has been really laid back...I'm not partying as much and I wasn't before so I don't really miss it. But everything is all better especially when I look at the scale...and it's minus 18 pounders! I just keep in mind the outcome of this whole shebang and it keeps me going. Plus these are pounds I will never ever see again! wooohooo p.s. the drain is gonzo! ONE WEEK POST-OP!!!!
Jun 27, 2007
So, I am one week post op and I still have my JP drain in... I can't wait to have it taken out tomorrow.....yay!!!!! I will be free and I will finally be able to feel comfortable going out and wearing non-pajama like clothing. I'm going a tad bit crazy on my liquid diet. I still get hungry even though I have a little pouch. I was worried about that at first because it felt like maybe they made my pouch bigger than usual...cause I am able to drink a lot. I don't necessarily feel as hungry as I would pre-op. But it's not a satisfied feeling. I talked to my doc and he said that is normal and that liquid is going through my pouch easily...and I pee quite a bit. I am longing though for soft solids though...I need to switch it up. I feel like a month is going to be forever...well I should look on the bright side it's three weeks now and I am going to be skinny minnie before you know it! I haven't regretted the surgery in the slightest... I love it. I have trouble looking at regular food or even hearing about it though... I do miss it...but I'm not going crazy because of it. In fact I feel good and happy and friendly and greatful. I feel greatful that I have my Mom and sister...they help me sooo much... I couldn't ask for better people to help me through this process.
TWIDDLEING MY THUMBS.........

OK I am going a little crazy waiting for my day to get here. Is it me or is the month of June going in reverse? I swear it!!!!!! I know that I only have 5 days left to wait.... but I have a feeling that those 5 days are going to be the end of me. I have so many emotions going through my head rightnow.... First and foremost excitement. I cannot wait for my new life to begin! I know that there are going to be some trials and tribulations so that makes me nervous.... but all in all I am confident. I am confident that this is what I need to do and want to do and I am going to do it. SO bring it on! FIVE MORE DAYS AND THEN GET READY!!!!!!
I am soo anxious...

Ok I know my surgery is June 20th and that is awesome, but I right now I don't feel like doing anything. I just want these days to fly by and then I feel like my life will begin. I just got finished washing my car right now and it took me like half of the day to muster up the energy and actually do it. And then now that I am done I am short of breath, dripping with sweat, and extremely exhausted! Not to mention I feel self conscious doing things like that in my own front yard. I hate that. I always feel like I am getting stared up and down even in the privacy of my front yard. That is definitely something that I will not miss. I have struggled with depression for a very long time now and I cannot wait for that to be gone out of my life. So here I am waiting....June 20th is so close yet so far. I can't wait for my life to begin.....
Wooohooo!
May 23, 2007
Because I am soooo damn efficient (hehe) I've been calling my surgeon's office to see if I can get in a little earlier than June 1st... because I can't imagine waiting till then. And today they fit me in for Tuesday May 29th!!!! Yay. I cannot wait. So now because I've made it clear that I want to get it done as soon as possible, they are allowing me to skip the consult and go straight to an Lab work and H&P visit. So the ball is officially rolling ladies and gents!
First Consult June 1st and I am sooo excited.
