4/9/08  It will be one year on the 17th.  I am only down to 175. Well, I was at 170 but have gained some weight over the past two months. I can't seem to stop craving M&M's  HELP ME!!   Is it just in my head that I have to have these?  I know I can do it. I stopped with Coke.  Well, I just wanted to post it has been a long time. I am going to try to really kick in full gear!  I am going to get to my goal of 150!!  Since it is getting warmer, I can start to drink the water that I need to be drinking and start walking at least 4-5 days a week. (which I did start up today- I walked 2 miles)   I went to tan today, and the owner man.. told me that I had the best looking legs in Fayetteville. I didn't even know what to say, just Smiled and felt STUPID!!  I don't even know how to accept a compliment.  Why didn't I just say, "Thank you"   Geessss!
Well, I will be checking in again and will try to add some newer photos. I have lost alot of weight, I just have to get focused and remember where I came from.   Until next time.

It has been awhile.  On the 17th will be 2 months since WLS. I have lost 40 lbs!   I sometimes wonder where?  I have been so tired for about a week, so I went to doctor and did fasting labs.   Today doctor called me and said to stop mu chlestorol and blood pressure medicine.   Yippeee!!    My BP must be why I have been tired.  Still taking all vitamins, B's and calcium.  I have only been walking about 3 days a week. I have got to start walking more reguraly.   I know that will make a difference in my weight lose.   I have been eating alot of different things.   Just in small amounts.  I have an appointment scheduled on June 28th with Dr. Davidson.  So, I have got to get motivated to walk!!!  Until next time!

SHINE BRIGHT!

Tomorrown will be one month post op.  I have lost 28 lbs.  My infected site is healing well. I don't have any bandages.  I just have to start walking everyday.  Well, at least 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week.   I am eating about anything.    Can eat chicken, shrimp, meatloaf.  I am trying to eat high protein and low sugar.   I went to Golden Corral on Mothers Day.  mmmm!      I  finally have enough energy to clean the house. LOL   I need to start taking a different vitaman B though, the chewables are just nasty.   
Don't go back to doctors until 6 wks.

Yesterday was my two week post. op appt.  I have lost 23 pounds!   I just wish my infection would heal up~!!     I have to stick a Q-tip in it half way, 2 times a day to clean out.   It does hurt.  Other than that I do not have pain.    I just had some tuna with light mayo. for lunch.  I am thirsty just waiting to drink some COLD water in another 15 minutes.   lol 
  I have alot more energy now.   I think I will do some dishes.   SHINE BRIGHT!    TINA

It is Sat.  I am feeling a little stronger.  I still am not up to cleaning house yet.  I am going with Destiny, my dad, and Lana to watch a 5:30pm movie-Are we done yet?  It is suppose to e funny. I can walk a little today.  Went with my dad to Lowes and to see his camper.   I just can't wait until I feel like myself again.  Destiny won her soccer game today. 6 to 2.   Lana took her.  I slept in.   I am needing a pain pill, so will write more later
SHINE BRIGHT!  

I am feeling a little better today.  Well, as far as weekness goes.  I still feel drained though.  I have my appointment with Dr. Davidson at 2:50pm.  I have a infection in the cut below my hole where the drain was.  It is very painful!   Slept ok last night.  Take percocet at night and try just to take one tylenol durig the day.    I feel like such a burden to my family.  They are very supportive.   I just feel they are being overworked.  They know that I appreciate it, but the stress level is so high in the house.  It makes it tough.
Get to finally weigh in at the doctor today.  Will post it later.
SHINE BRIGHT!!!   Tina

Just an update, I am feeling pretty ok this morning.  Still have some pain.  Mainly where the drain was.  I haven't been on pc hardly.  Yesterday wasn't good. Felt very week and just drained no energy. I am suppose to be walking up to 45 min. a day. I just don't want to go outside in the heat.  I need to try some today.  I also need to drink 64 oz. of water  a day.  I think I am only sipping 1/2 that.   I just can't really tell when I am full yet.  I don't want to throw up.  Gesss, that would hurt your stomach!! haven't yet, thank God!
  Dr. Davidson told me on Sunday, when I called him that I can take my Cymbalta capsules.   Yes, they are for depression.  Maybe that is why I feel in better spirits today!   Was without them for 5 days.  Haven't weighted.  Just will wait until go to Dr. Davidson on Thursday.  My one week post-op appt. I don't look like I have lost anything. But, my left foot isn't swollen now!!
  Feel ok enought today to give Destiny some school work.  We only have about 1 month left of school!!
Maybe I will feel like uploading those pic. later
SHINE BRIGHT!!  Tina

This morning I feel pretty good.  I am taking my vitamins and having 2 oz. of jello for breakfast.   sipping water too!!   Had an ok night, I slept on my side some with lots of pillows! plus percocet when I went to bed and one around 6am.   Today is Destiny's first soccer game. Her dad is coaching. I may try to go, bring a chair.  I just do not want to over do it.   According to my scales this morning, I have lost 10 lbs!!!   I don't even get hungry, only a little challengeing thoughts when I see eveyone eat, fast food.   I hope today goes good. I have been  a little emotional. I am not able to take my cymbalta in jello or liquid.  I  have prozac but just don't want to take it.  I hope Thurday when I see the doctor he will say I can swallow the capsules! (2)  
Until next pst  SHINE BRIGHT!!

Well, I got home this morning. Dr, Davidson said that surgery went well.  I am on percocet and something for nausea.   I am very shaky feeling and do not want to be alone!!   I am in pain, but is bareable at most times with med.   Had some broth, jello, and water. It is hard to believe that only 2 oz. fills me up!!!   I just want to sleep this week or two away and then be in no pain....
  I have some pictures to share, will have to add on here another day. Need to go to bed.  Is the only place I am comfortble!!!!  Thanks for all your prayers.   

Only 3 days until WLS.  I just don't know if I am going to go through with it or not.  David has said some horrible things to me today.  Now, Terry just got all in an outrage (to me) as well.   Mainly because he is upset with himself, all because I decided not to go to a movie with Dad and Mary. I thought I was doing the right thing. Staying home to watch Aunisty, my granddaughter.   I just don't know.  I have things ready but I just don't know if my family is ready for me to have surgery.  Are they just afraid that I will not tolerate all the mental abuse they dish out and they are afraid that if I am more physically and mentally  able to make it  on my own. (financial too)  I just want to have surgery to be healthy and feel better about myself.  Please God help me!   I feel that I need to have surgery for ME and then go check into a motel.    I am tired of crying today.  :(
