3 Months out. I think I am doing good. I am feeling better and I think I am getting my groove. I am figuring out to eat MORE to lost. OMG. No one tells you that. You assume you shouldn't eat... EVER..... I am finding a new passion. That is cooking. I have always tried to cook for my family but lately I am trying new things. Things I have never had. I am trying to make us all healthy. I told my husband the other day I wanna be a mom in a sundress buying from the farmers market, cutting veggies in my kitchen. It is an idea I have of myself and my family in my head. AND I am GOING to make it happen.

I try not to pay too much attention to all the Good intentions advice. I find to each his own. I live the way I have to and try to do the best for myself.

I hope to keep the ball rolling.

I am 2 1/2 months post op. I have lost 46 lbs. I have had some slow going lately. So one night after a meltdown of frustration I decided to look at the book I was given by my dr to see abotu what to eat. What I found out SHOCKED me. I was eating WAY less than I was supposed to. The menu looked like full meals to me. So my conclusion is I have been STARVING myself. So not losing. Since then I have made myself eat more and this lost 7 lbs in less than a week. Wow. Food can be helpful. My mind was so set on what to not eat I took it to extreme. Now I am making more of an effort to MAKE myself eat and I am back on my roll.


The only issues I have now is that my liver enzymes are steadily going up. After scan and other tests the only thing left to do is biopsy my liver. So I am doing that this wednesday. I am not excited about it at all. I just hope everything turns out good. I will let everyonee know. I plan on getting on here more often.

Today has been a hard day.. I am feeling loopy. That is the only way I can describe it. I know I am not getting enough liquid let alone protein. Yesterday was pretty eventful but today not soo good. My husband brought home mashed potatoes for lunch for me and I thinned them with milk and put protein powder in them. They tasted fine. After a breif melt down I finished my little bowl. Or few tablespoons. I am not trying to drink a protein shake. I am trying to take control. Frankly though I just want to go to bed. I want to wake up when I am healed and can eat. But I know I have to get through this. Any advice?

Well it is Saturday and I had my surgery on Tues. My mom is saying I am doinng really really good. Sometimes I don't think so. I had a hard night last night with nausea. Today has been better.

It does burn and hurt when fluids get to a certain part. I think where the esophagus and stomach meet. It is paralyzing pain. I am starting to think it is because of the really cold drinks.

My husband is WONDERFUL... Poor guy has been taking care of me and our two boys. He has his hands full for sure. Well pain meds are kicking in and I am ready to sleep. Just thought I would give you a quick update.

Tonight is the night before my surgery. I am very excited but very nervous. I am ready for it to be over. I have my back packed although I feel like I am not bringing anything. I am trying to keep my mind off of it so that I am able to sleep,

I had some excitement today. The hospital called and said my checkin time was moved from 9am to 6am!!!! HOLY CRAP!!! I was freaking otu because I am 1 1/2 hours away and I had everything set and planned for my two kids. I called the Dr.'s office and a couple hours later everything was back the way it was supposed to be. Thank goodness. I am not good with plan changes. LOL..

I am right now enjoying a surprisingly quiet night at home. Ready to finish everything up and go snuggle with my husband. Please pray that everything goes good tomorrow. Think of me around 11..


YEA ME!!!

WHOOT!!! One more week to go. I think the next few days are going to fly. I have to go out of town for work this weekend then only 2 more days of work until I am off and ready for surgery. I think my diet has be going really good. As I mentioned before the soda is not affecting me at all. THank GOODNESS! I do admit that it is hard at time. I just want to run away and eat a whole mexican restaurant. But I haven't!!

I am a little nervous and alot excited about the surgery. I am most nervous that I will be OK to come back to work when I need to. At this point I am just counting the days!

It is less than two weeks until my surgery. I started my pre-op diet 3 days ago. This is really hard. I have been really diligent. I downloaded and food diary to my iphone and have tracked everything I put in my mouth. Sometime I think that is what is making me stress so much. I think maybe I should just follow what the dr wrote for me.


I am really excited for my surgery. I am ready for it to be here. And I am excited to get this pre-op over with. My hubby has been SUPER supportive. Finding any and everything he can that I can eat and eating differently himself so that I will not be alone. I have seen him have 1 soda in the last few days.

On a side note the sodas haven't been as hard on me as I thought.
