My Update :)
Nov 12, 2008
I'm down to 175 woohooooo!!! Things are going good, other then Ulcers I've had NO problems from the surgery. I would do it again in a minute!!! I started working a desk job, because of the fibro and arthritis its the best I can do right now. The nueropathy is gone so far as I can tell, still cant walk alot because of the weak muscles, they are getting stronger though! Aside from all that I'm happy to be able to wake up in the morning, get outta bed and take care of my kids. Almost down 100 lbs, since March. My goal right now is to get to 150, all my friends and family say that I dont wanna lose more then that because I would look sickly. They say I have lost enough already LOL Lost enough?? OMG I still weigh 175 lbs!! Dont get me wrong I'm sooooo happy about that! A size 12 jeans from size 26, I was prolly 12 last time I could wear a size 12! I have more energy, more freedom, I can cross my legs!!!!!! LOL that is a hell of a accomplishment! My 12 year old daughter and I can share clothes now LOL I know I need to get her on a diet with me or she is gonna end up where I was, and I really dont want that for her! Well I am gonna get this posted so all my friends can see where I am not. Sorry about the length of time its been since my last update. I will try to be better about it!
20 days later

Things are going really slow. I blame it on the fact that I still have alot of pain due to my fibromyalgia, arthritis, and nueropathy in my legs. So I am still not as active as I would like to be. At church this Sunday several people told me how good I looked and guessed at how much I had lost already but i have no answer since I dont have a good set of scales. I dont feel like I have lost much because my same jeans fit the same way. And all my shirts still fit the same. I am being good about my protien and water and vitamins though, i'm wondering if those calories are hurting me though and slowing down the loss also. I go to the nuetritionalist on the 7th of April and then the Doctor on the 10th so I will get some answers there.
One week out :)

Well I made it! Had a bad first few days but it is getting better everyday as I push through the pain that is still on my left side. Day after surgery I was sent for the leak test which made me extremely sick. They kept taking pictures and looking at them and sending me back to my room for a hour and then back down for more pictures, ended up I had something twisted in my intestines that was not allowing the fluid to flow through. By the next day I was feeling better got my first "meal" and since it didnt bother me I was able to go home that evening. I have my post-op appointment tomorrow I dont feel as if I have lost anything :( But I suppose I will find out then. So I will update again soon.
One More Day :)
