Hi every one.  Well I have been in and out of the hospital for intussusception caused by peterson hernia so I will be going in for surgery in a few weeks this is also due to my gastric bypass I can not stress enough for those to look up these two problems the intussusception can be life threatening I have had a tube down the nose to the stomach to empty it out. very pain full and life threatening 

 

 I now am having siezures I am told they are from the gastric bypass that my pancrease is producing to much insulin. This is very scary for me. I do not remember it happenining I remember saying I felt as though I was going to pass out well guess I did in way started shaking eyes rolling back.  Body straight and shaking.  Ended up in the hospital for two days. Now have to go see specialist in San Francisco. 

 Well now down to 128 pounds in a size 7. I do have more energy but hurts to eat still. Need to learn to slow down when eating. Need to get more b12 in my system I am not absorbing it. So doing the under the tongue. I am now back to the beginning eating bland and soft foods. Trying real hard to maintain weight. 
We now live in California surviving lol. Doctors doing a lot of testing on me. Losing to much weight to fast. I feel better but look old lol. Really dont want to get the proceedure reversed.  But it may come down to that. Need recipes to help me keep food down and maintain the weight and get the protien in. I do like shrimp so that helps and I am eating liver love that and finally after  a year can eat eggs  Ya!!!!!

Got married yesterday! Moving to California on the 15th this month. In a size 18 and still slimming down. Was a blonde now a red head loving it lol. I can eat more now depending on what it is and what time of day it is. My ulcer doesn't help much so still learning. Time to get new clothes mine are falling off lol.  

Well things are finally going better. I figured out some of my problem is that I have been eating to fast, need to slow down. Still eating about 12 tablespoons of food a day being out almost 7 months now. 

                              Now some better news. I finally decided to move forward with life. Went back to school. I got my CNA Yeah! Currently working but have been offered a better job with better pay doing what I love. Will know more about it this week.


                                 As far as the weight loss. I have lost 110 pounds. The inch's are coming off fast. Had a stand still for a spell but back on track. Bread is not a good thing lol. In fact any kind of starch is bad does not agree with me.

                                I am amazed at how slim my legs are getting. I don't get grossed out now when I walk in front of a department store window and see my reflection. My legs are finally taking shape woo hoo.

                                The best part is I feel so much better! I can breath and move easier and loving it.  Still do not like the pain from eating to fast. But you learn your body teaches you what you can and can not do. Yes it is a life adjustment for the rest of your life. Would I like to eat a fried egg? Would love to ! But ...... my body says no way not going to happen. Some meat I can handle and other meat forget it.

Still have issues with protein drinks and shakes can not do them. I am now even having issues with cheese. I used to love cheese lol. Was a down fall for me lol.
Any ways life is looking up for me. There are days I regret having it done. When I feel sick and just want to lay down. Then the other time when I can climb stairs or play with my daughter or do things I couldn't do before makes the difference.

Well that's it for now will try to put some pics up here soon. Thank you all for those who have stayed in touch. I know I haven't been on here much. But I am a part of life now instead of life passing me by.

Well things have gotten better I now can hold food down. I still in learning process. Like wait 20 minutes in morning before taking my meds or I go in gag mode. By my cound I have lost around 85 pounds give or take a pound. Still have a problem with protien. Losing my hair which is ok considering it was so thick to begin with. I can move a lot better. I am doing more. I am actually working now and enjoying it. I am now a care taker for a great company and I am getting my cna in november. Not ready to be on my feet yet for 8 hours a day but good to have securtiy. So when more weight comes off then I can look into the position as a cna. I will try to keep every one informed on how things are going.  I will be honest in having this done it has been a battle and it is not easy. I have finally accepted the mental part of it there for it is not so bad. And was much needed. The physical part is the hard part. There is not much of pain because if your walking it makes it easier. It is the getting sick part that is so hard. I am four months out and I still have stomach issues.  My body limits me on what I can eat and how much. I do need to get more protien in. I have problems with the protien and my stomach does not like it lol. I have learned even has much as I enjoy and love the taste of some thing DO NOT TAKE THAT EXTRA BITE! I will get about half way through a meal and look at the rest of my plate and say I am satisfied and put the rest away or give it to my spoiled dog lol. But life is much better.

Well it has been a bumpy road for the past month. I had to get dialated, found out I have a ulcer. Been going through a lot of stomach cramping. Haven't stepped on a scale since July. I do know I am still losing my clothes are getting super baggie. I have been taking my fibromyalgia pills wich is helping the cramping woo hoo. Will set up a appointment with my doctor next week. So will post more then.

I have lost 40 pounds so far. Haven't updated in a while I know at least 8 inch's around waist. Still have problems with the morning feeling sick. I am now eating about 3 tablespoons of food three times a day. I can not eat meat does not settle well. Going back to work this weekend as a care giver holding out for support staff for homeless shelter keeping fingers crossed. But all else is doing great

Well surgery went well. Funny I was 11 pounds lighter when I weighed in that night and gained 6 pounds after lol nurse said is probably the air. Really couldn't hold any thing down. Just water and some peach tea. Got home Thursday was exhausted, Friday ran a temp for a spell. Lets see today is Saturday and I am still sore held down a cracker took forever to eat can't stand sweets makes me nausea's Haven't weighed myself will on June 3rd when I go see my doctor. Not sleeping well. Still sleeping in recliner to hard to lay in bed yet. They also removed a cyst about the size of a walnut which was causing all my stomach cramps. But all in all every thing is going OK.

My Dr. will be out of town  the day of the approval so he bumped it to the following monday on the 17th of May which is fine gives me more time to prepare myself still just as excited. My job ends on the 7th so this gives me a week to spend with my little girl and family before going in.
