update

Aug 20, 2009

Hello all! Just thought I would update! Today I went to the doctor for my week post op appointment and to get my drain tube out. Well I had forgotten all about getting weighed there, and I haven't weighed myself since I have been home. I have been too scared of seeing the weight gain from surgery. Anyways I stepped on the scale, still a little scared, but to my surprise it was ONEDERFUL!!!!! I weighed in at 198!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't weighed under 200 in probablly over 6 years. So needless to say it was a wonderful day. Getting that stupid tube out and weighing 198! And another thing I am not in any pain anymore. I actually feel back to normal. My incisions are healing up nicely and Im not really hungry. The only things that suck are trying to get all my protien in and I am itching like CRAZY!!!!!!

Oh and another thing that I wanted to sort of "vent" about was when I was getting prepped for surgery. I was about to get undressed and the nurse was giving me instructions. I know she meant it as a compliment but I didn't take it that way. She said "Why are you even getting this surgery? You aren't even big...You have a nice shape." Now mind you this is coming from a beautiful woman that probablly weighed about 115 pounds. It really irritates me when people say stuff like that because I dont like the way I look and it shouldn't matter if someone else thinks that I have a nice shape. I am not comfortable in my own skin and I need help losing weight. Like I have said before, if I could lose the weight and keep it off on my own I definately wouldn't be having surgery. But I just told her that I have trouble losing weight and left it at that. I know I am probablly making a bigger deal out of it than I should and I guess it doesn't bother me that much anymore but at the time it just irked me.

Well my boyfriend is bugging me to go to the store so I am going to get off the computer but I will write more another day! Thank you all for your support! I really love this place. I will be posting my pre-op pictures soon too. So keep an eye out for my yucky befores! I am excited for September 10th so that I can actually see the weight difference in my pictures because I don't feel like I have lost any weight. I still feel like I look the same. So we will see!

Love you all -Brittany
