32 Pound Loss. Thats right!  WOOHOO

Yeah baby! 20 pounds down from surgery, 25 overall.  ROCKS! WOOHOO!
I feel better  and  cant wait until I start working out next week and getting more weight off.

Feeling great.  At my 2 week appt I was 11 pounds down from surgery day, 16 overall.  I have my appt with the NUT on March 8th, so I will get another weigh in then.
I feel great.  No bad episodes.  I did have some tilapia today and I think either I ate it too fast or it was dry, cuz it got stuck. ONly lasted 15 minutes, but it sucked.
Im still on pureeds.  Going out to eat sucks.  We went out the other day and I had cottage cheese for dinner, because what I could eat was too expensive.
Im doing well on my protein drinks.  My hubby can get a great price on EAS, so I drink the advant edge drinks. Not bad!
I eat lots of tuna and other fish. Im to scared to try chicken.
I don't think IM getting enough fluid, but to be honest, im not sure.
I went back to work after 2 weeks. I feel fine.
Thats all folks!

I always forget to post here.

I am 1 week out, and doing well. I was in for surgery 2/8 and home 2/10.  I didnt take any pain meds after 2/9, and have been pain med free. 

Doc said surgery was perfect and couldn't have gone any better.

I can't believe I am pain free.

Today I started full liquids, and had cream of wheat pureed in the bullet. (Maybe 1/8 c.) Working pretty good if you ask me! It was like heaven.

I have an appr w/ my surgeon on the 20th I will weigh in at his office.  Im not going to weigh in until then.

Wow. 4 days.  I will be on the losing side.  Almost surreal.
I have indulged in some favorites. but not OVER indulged! I have to do liquids for 2 days before, so Monday is my last day of real food.I think I might like to get a steak and a baked potato, salad, and maybe a little desert. 
If my friends will watch my kids, I will just go with hubby for my last meal.
I know I want this, and I am 'ready', but you know how the thing is....you don't know what you lost until its gone.  My love affair with food will need to end. Forever.  I will now have to make a love affair with protein and exercising.  My goal is to be under 200 pounds by the end of the summer.  I think it feasable.... 65 pounds in 7 months...if not, I know that it will eventually come off....

5'3"  265 will no longer be acceptable.
5'3" 150 sounds better :)

Peace.

..is my 36th birthday.  I also had my final pre op exam, and I am less than 2 weeks away.
I am all ready. I have my supplements, I have my liquids and my protein samples.
My kids are all arranged for where they will be. 
Things are good.
I pray.

I told my boss, the truth, and it went OK. SHe wants me to change the date though.....

My date is scheduled! FEB 8th 2007. Yipee! I;m thrilled! On payday I am going to get all my supplements and a couple samples of protein., get my liquids I need for a couple of weeks and  I should be all set!

What a birthday gift to me.  Someone has to be looking over me.

Now to tell the boss....that I am having Hiatal Hernia Surgery.   Ha ha!

....I am finally approved.  Thank GOD!  I don't know how some people wait and wait and wait for approval.  Its really a hard thing.  I was very lucky.
I will have to call Dr. Denhams' office tomorrow to schedule a date.  I'm going to ask for something after Feb 3rd, because I have Birthday plans and a party, and I may as well get in my last hurrah - as my gift to myself is an entire lifestyle change. For good.
I don't have much  more to say as I have alot to take in and a lot of thinking to do! 
(((hugs))

I have not logged in to my OH blog in forever.

I went to the nutritionist, and it was fine.  I liked her alot.   I will have to see her one month after surgery. If I knew when that was going to be.

I went to have my upper endo done too.  GERD and a Hiatal Hernia.  IM on Prevacid and should be dieting.  That starts tomorrow. UGH.

My 3rd support group meeting is Tomorrow. I will be going.  It will be helpful to go now even more that IM going to start dieting on my own to lose some weight.  The less I weigh the better, right?

The holidays were crazy.  I'm so glad they are over.
I go back to work tomorrow (I drive a bus) and my son will be back inschool as well.  I can go back to a routine :o)

I don't have a date yet. IM going to make some phone calls tomorrow. I hope to hear something soon. If not, Ill just keep waiting.
