i did it! its a done deal
Mar 27, 2009
well, i did it on the 24th i had my rny. i wouldnt want to scare anyone but it was a bit tougher than i had anticipated, who could knw! its friday and i am home now. very sore, walkin around the house and did take a pain med. hopin to feel better sooner than later. i couldnt talk for 2 days after the surgery and my daughters were by my side the whole time. i was afraid i was goin to scare them but they knw there mother is strong. so right now just worrying about stayin hydrated, i really dont feel like drinkin, but an forcing my self taking in some jello. even my daughter"s friends send my flowers and called my everyday i guess so they think there my daughter's too! my co-workers were calling me everyday, its really great to knw so many nice people are there for me, a real eye opener for me. i guess i sometimes have a hard time realizing how loved i am. so busy doing everything for so many others, being a single mom and a nurse. so thats all for now be back soon

three days to go
Mar 20, 2009
three days to go, i recieved my c-pap, and have been using it for two nights in a row, i seem to feel more calm in the mornings when i wake up so that is a good thing so far,. i read oh daily sometimes 2-3x a day and have gathered so much information. im kinda shy and would like to reach out to more people but for now im just viewing all the infor and may jump in soon. tommorro is my last day at my regular job, then my partime job is over on sunday. i will have 4 weeks off! my faithful daughter is going to accompany me to hospt. and after sugery my two other younger daughters will come and see me. i have brought some isopure and some jello and ice pops and made my own chicken broth. alll sugar free of coarse. in the past i have lost 75lbs, in 10 months using a low carb diet and exercising but when i hurt my back and couldnt exersice, was outa work for 6 months in pain, then my thyroid went hypo on me and then menopause happened all at once, that was when i gained alll the weight and then some back. this is what has lead me to wls. the biggest downer for me has been that people just dont understand they think that if u lost weight before without surgery u should be doing it like that again. so i say NEVERMIND to them. people who arent in ur shoes just dont get it. so in three days i will be on my way to a healthier life. i am ready to do wht i have to to achieve this goal for the love of myself and my children.

Mar 12, 2009
yesterday i had my last pre-op visit with surgeon. it went well. was really grossed out thinkin i had to have an ng-tube but was pleased to hear it wasnt necessary. still havent recieved the c-pap machine, but i knw its on its way. im filling out my part of my dissability paperwork, cause i do need to get paid,. And was glad to see a responce from a nice person whom just underwent surgery and gave me all the details on wht was the worse thing following surgery and that was the swallow test, my dr. and i had just discussed having so i have a better idea about it.i still have to do some shopping gotta get out there an see where to purchase the isopure and some vit B-12 sublingual im sure that will be easy enough. talked with my oldest daughter about her being able to be with me the whole day and to take care of my younger daughters while im here.im very intent on being sucessful. i keep going over and over everything in my head on a daily basis.oh yea, i lost 4lbs this month. keeping positive and focoused. untill next time...
