Jun 03, 2010
well I haven't been on in a while so I thought I'd catch up by saying...... I'm 22 weeks pregnant with a baby boy!!!! we are overjoyed!! I never thought I'd have babies, I struggle for many years. I'm so grateful I made the decision to get healthy and get my pcos/insulin resistance under control! I'm due in October....so I have a long hot summer ahead of me....but it's going to be soooo worth it! :)

Jul 06, 2008
Ok so today I feel soooo much better. Also, I love this state. Really I do. I love to be out in the warm sun living life, feeling good and enjoying the summertime. I love that I can spend the day out in Long Beach or @ Venice Beach and Santa Monica.....then we go and spend a few nights in the desert and then go to the mountains a few days later.....LIFE IS WONDERFUL. I LOVE MY RNY!! :)Last summer I got out, but not like this summer.....we're all over the place and it feels great. I have more energy, more zest for life. I am so thankful for the things I have in this life. :)..........and yes I am a tad bit hormonal.......but I'm doing much better than earlier in the week.......yikes! hahahha.
holy crap! I'm a bitch on wheels!
Jul 03, 2008
Seriously! I got the worst bout of PMS this week that I have EVER had. I was snappin' like a twig. My poor husband was trying his best to be not so annoying to me hahhaha...he can't help it that he is a man and doesn't understand.......poor fella. I was a emotional wreck.....a bitch.....a crybaby......and an all around mess. I feel better now....except for the piercing menstrual cramps, which still make me crabby. But at least I'm in too much pain to be a bitch. sort of. lol. Wow pcos is fun. lol...................not so much. :(

I am feeling really good! Good enough that I wanted to write about it! Most of my blog posts have been more of a whinny, cry baby, bitch on wheels kinda of nature. So I'd like to say that I'm feeling really good. My energy levels have been through the dang roof, my hormones seem to be getting normal (normal? whatever that means) and My outlook on things are seemingly very possitive. I have lost 40 lbs in 5 weeks.....now that is something to cheer about. My Acanthosis Nigricans is totally gone!!!!!!!! This is a HUGE deal for me. I had that crap on the back of my neck and in my cleavage for over 10 years. It was misdiagnosed like 5 times!! I actually did the research and figured out what it was on my own. I took so many pills and creams for it ...........and now it's just gone overnight because my insulin is getting to a normal level. So stoked about that!! Now I can where my hair up with confidence and/or go get a cute short hair cut. But I think I'm going to save that for when I make goal! hhmm maybe. Don't know if I can wait that long though.
Food........I've been doing ok with foods. Some days are harder than others, but I'm getting the hang of things. I think? I really need to start keeping a food diary. And Vitamins......I've been a naughty naughty girl! I have been slacking on them and I know I'm only hurting my damn self. I really don't know what it is about taking them I dislike so much, maybe the taste, idk.....I'm so sabotaging myself.......and my husband is sooooo pissed about it. I vow to start taking my vitamins EVERY SINGLE DAY from here on out!!! That's all for now....

Memorial Day Weekend!

So we went to Solvang and the West Coast Customs Car Show with some close friends this weekend, we had a good time....but...I was in a lot of pain. I got aunt flo ( cramps off the rictor scale the whole time) right before we left and I also dumped on i think fruit or mashed potatos.......can't be sure...but thankfully I made it back to Long Beach before my dumping blow out began....not sure how I managed that.....thank God though. I felt like I was a whinny lil' bitch the whole time....but my hubby and friends say I did very well and I was very chill. I guess on the inside I was freaking out....but didn't show it on the outside. I'm just so glad I'm home now in my own bed and bathroom. It was hard to find things to eat that I could tolerate and still juggle being with friends and being on other ppls timelines....or should I say staying with the flow of activity. I think I did too much this weekend....but i'm feeling better.
The first night my girlfriends and I had a nice dinner at the Hitching Post (from the movie Sideways) and the fellas went to check out the opening night of the car show. The dinner was excellant...I ordered off the kids menu which was suprisingly a 5oz top sirloin, baked potato, steamed veggies and was only $8. It was very yummy...and the steak was no problem at all....although I had major gas later that night....it was actually a nice treat....um the steak not the gas..hahaha. But not being able to enjoy a glass of wine from a restaurant famous for it's wine list was really hard. I wanted a sip sooo bad. I'm not even a big drinker or anything......it's just the fact that I couldn't have it. Oh and the dessert, that was hard too. This was only my second time in a restaurant since surgery so things where kinda weird to me still, but I managed. Oh one WOW moment.......I could fit in the dang booth.....I couldn't believe it, that was pretty cool.
The rest of the weekend was mellow....we went to the car show saturday....I tried to eat some meat from my hubbies sandwich...eww...I just couldn't...so I just drank my Isopure. I don't even remember what I had for dinner.....it wasn't much. Sunday the girls walked around Solvang, a very cute Danish village type place, and the guys of course went back to the car show but met up with us later in Solvang. There where bakeries and candy shops and ice cream shops and wine tasting stores everywhere you looked.....seriously it was torture. We (us girls) ate at a smorgusborg for lunch.....the nice waiter only charged me for a side salad even though I ate the buffet......well barely.....I had one meatball with gravy and a dab of mashed potatos, a few green beans, a strawberry, a bite of havarti cheese......and later that night I dumped! So I'm not sure what was the culprit...I think the potatos.
All in all I had a good time.....I just need to make better choices with food while I'm out.

crazy ride!
May 11, 2008
So I had my surgery on 4/28 and it's been a crazy ride since then. I had a hard time with the Co2 in my shoulder and then I've had trouble getting all of my protein and liquids in. On Tuesday I was admitted back into the hospital because I was having severe cramping in my tummy and intestines.....no I wasn't dumping.....They did a upper GI and an ultasound on me and I guess everything looked good, no leaks or tears. I was there for 2 days......I was severely dehydrated.....they must have poked me eight times trying to get a vain that wouldn't crash. So in the end I guess it was a acid reflux problem....I assume because I was given 3 different medicines for that and the cramping went away.
Also, my hormone changes the first week were unbearable......I was a wreck and I also had the longest heaviest period EVER!! Talk about an emotional mess.
I've been walking every evening and starting to feel better. I am always hungry and I don't know why. I thought I wouldn't have hunger pains, but I do. I can't wait till I start my pureed or soft diet. The shakes are killin' me, the sweet taste is NASTY! but i'll live.
I have to add that my husband has been by my side every second of every day and has been so sweet and attentive. He has been a rock and a pillar for me to depend on through this journey. I am truly lucky to have him in my life. Such a sweet, loving man. I love him.
