Here i am again

Jun 02, 2011

So i have slack on writing in my journal and i told myself i would. So i could look back on it someday.

Well i had my surgery on Januray 6th 2011. Went through it with flying colours! Ok well maybe some grey in there. I ended up instead of taking 5 weeks off for work, i had to take three months!!!!!!!!!!! Why you ask? Well i ended up in great pain that not even the highest pain pill would take away. Nothing to do with my surgery as i once thought. I had my gall bladder removed about 12 yrs ago, well apparently they left a stone behind that just decided to act up after my surgery. So i had to wait almost 2 months for them to do an endoscope. I was miserable for those three months. I couldnt do anything but sit around the house. Not really a great start to losing weight eh? On top of that i had really bad nausea for two whole months. I thought i would go crazy.

So i eventually had my scope which removed the stone that was stuck in my bild duct, Ellsmere also cut open my bile duct larger to make the food *swish* out faster since the opening was way too small. Took me a few days but then i bounced back and was so happy i didnt have any pain anymore! I got back to work and finally could start exercising.

I would do it all again in a heart beat!

Last September i weighed in at 300lbs, i lost 45 pounds pre op and right now i weigh.............182!!!!!!!! Yay i feel so much better, i have so much more energy. It feels great. Course i have more weight to lose then to get a tummy tuck and boob lift. I am off all my diabetic medications, hardly need my inhalers for asthma anymore, and slowly weening off my blood pressure medications. So all in all i am doing great!
