Well guys i am happy to say that I am finally out of the 300's.YEAH!  But I feel awefull, this battle with nausea continues.  I went to see the surgeon yeasterday and my labs were good and he gave me a thumbs up, but i gave him a thumbs down for the way I am feeling.  Eating considerably less than what i was eating last week.  But I guess that's good.  Hoping I am not developing a stricture.  I really am trying to push myself to continue to exercise through all this drama.  Some days i just go home with the kids and just relax.  Then i feel guilty that i didn't go to the health club afterwards.  What ah world!

Hi guys,had a bad week i n terms of nausea.  I am just feeling really mentally and physically out of it, still wishing i never had this surgery thing.  I am so tired of being sick and tired.  Class is almost done week 4 i believe just one more week and I'll have a 2 week break from classes.  I m wishing t hat i will feel better.  I was never sick before this surgery now i am suffering with this queasy feeling all the time,t he medication isn't work in.  The nurse of the bari center wants me to try Welches Concord grape juice they say it has some magical powers in regards to nausea.  I'm waiting to find out.  but any way my laptop is malfunctioning gotta go.

Hi guys sorry I haven't posted in a while.  Been so busy with writting papers and all for school.  Just feeling really stressed out and frustrated lately about everything.  Emotions, mood swings and everything has really been a big issue with me lately.  Also battling with nausea and not really wanting to eat or drink those protein drinks anymore,  I should have bought the non flavored protein powder mix.  I'll have to do that this week.  I have gone to the doctor for my month check up he states everything is fine and that I am looking good.  I wanted to say I have always looked good, and sexy as well, but I didn't.  I have been exercising at the health club, aqua aerobics, treadmill and biking.  Sometimes I feel so lazy now that the weather is starting to get colder.  I hate winter time because i  feel like the cold air goes straight to my bones and I'm not even skinny yet.But anyway I need to fight really hard to overcome this battle that is going on within myself.  Well as far as food goes I just could not help it last week I drank a Mc Donald's sweet tea, it's my favorite I dranked it very slowly not knowing what was going to happen to me ( crazy right)? I made sure it was not a work day.   but surprisingly I was OK.   I sipped on it the entire day and was very satisfied.  Sometimes I do crazy things just to test my limits,not often though.  Well it's time for me to sign off, hope everyone is well till the next time.

Hi guys week 3.  Feeling a lot better. I was at a point of thinking life was not going to get any better after this surgery.  I can't believe the pain and misery of it all.  Well I have been eating regular food, because that cream, liquid and puree thing was not getting it.  I have been fine I chew very slowly and eat small portions. However, I have noticed that food doesn't taste the same any more. Once I start eating it I don't want it any more.  Like the other day I ate a White CASTLE hamburger and I took a few bites of it and was ready to throw it out of the window.  Then yesterday I went to my favorite chicken joint and could only eat a portion of a small leg, then while eating it I didn't want it any more. I never touched the fries or bread.  I am glad that it's working out this way I guess.  I still find my mouth very dry even after drinking.  One thing that is really getting on my nerves is that I am not able to drink like I use to. Taking these little sips are very nerve racking.I was a big water drinker before the surgery know I feel like it is a chore. Well you guys I have been struggling on how to edit my weight here on the site. I put a call and email into the site hoping to get some assistance with this matter. But no one has notified me as of yet.  I would like to see my progress documented on my ticker.  Well I will just wait.

Well I am back to work.  Feeling ok still not sleeping during the night, can't find a good position.  Still having some problems with this Left lower back pain when I breath, not sure what that is all about.  Told my doctor and bariatric nurse about it prior to discharge. No one seems to care.  I really hate my surgeon he has this non caring type of attitude.  I never chose him I was referred to him by my insurance carrier. I am tired of being sick and tired.  I feel so out of it with the way things are going. I really believe that I am stressed from my job situation, mentally being so absorbed with pain issue that has improved but I still experience this weird feeling in my left upper abdomen area.  When you eat is their suppose to be some tightness there?  I really want to feel 100% the way I was before this surgery.  I guess I am asking for too much too soon after surgery.  Today I ate some processed turkey from the deli, I was starving like a dog.  This phase of full liquid is not doing me any good.  So far I am ok I don't feel sick, I chewed it very well and felt like I really had a meal.  I hope I continue to eat like a bird.

Well here I am feeling better, back to work earlier than doctor would like but I am a single mother of two with bills.  Pretty much I am feeling kind of blah for some reason.  Not really able to sleep through the night without pain knocking and the door.  Still finding it hard to find a comfortable position in the bed or on the couch up right.  Really feeling very hungry and this food ( full liquid ) is not really making me happy.  I smell all these other foods and cooking foods for the kids has really been a challenge.  I really have not been keeping up with the total amount of liquids per day, like I should.  Still feeling like I made a mistake concerning the surgery because of the way I feel and not being my usual happy self.  I think due to my current situation job, school, health, and financial stress is taking a total on me. Until next time.

Hi guys, just had my surgery last Tuesday August 30,2011.  I really don't know where to start.  When I initially start reading about all the journey's I really expected the worse out the deal.  I had pretty much I thought prepared myself for the worse in my life, but then I kind of figured if I endured to c-sections almost a year apart I could survive anything.  The day before surgery I called a friend who had undergone her gastric bypass surgery this past July and she said that she had and awesome experience.  She was up and moving the same day, and her diet was advanced to a soft puree diet. And she was the king of the hill.  For some reason I adopted her experience as my own.  So needless to say I drove myself to the hospital the day of surgery and that's when the drama began.  The nurse that started my iv must have been a first year graduate and had no clue as to what she was doing.  The IV that she started I knew that it would not suffice surgery.  The anesthesiologist also mention the same himself.  When I came out of the FOG I had a central line in my neck along with other various previous IV attempts and severe bruising.  I woke up in excruciating pain and remained in pain over night.  I did not get any sleep in two nights due to the pain and the fact I was not on my nightly sleeper.  I have been on trazadone over over 3 years and the surgeon decided I need nothing to replace this.  However I was receiving 2mg of morphine every hour IV, this never touched the pain. I stayed with an increase in heart rate and blood pressure my entire hospital stay.  When I SPOKE TO THE CHARGE NURSE ABOUT MY INADEQUATE PAIN MANAGEMENT, SHE STATED THAT THIS SURGEON HAS A HISTORY OF ALLOWING HIS PATIENTS SUFFER LIKE THIS.  I could not believe this when I heard it, then before my discharge another nurse said the same thing.  I thought to myself this was insane and that I will file

 a compliant upon my release.

 

Hey just sitting here freakin out wondering if their is anyone out thier that can relate?  I guess I/m feeling a little anxious is their a doctor in the house?

Hi, guys here I am once again trying to maneuver my way around this site.  Haven't really got the hang of it yet. I hope everyone is well. I am looking for friends to support me on my weight loss journey.  i am havin such weird and crazy thoughts about my journey I guess because I have read so many testimonies and experiences, that all I concentrate myself on at this moment.  I really hope everyone is going to go well.    Have you guys ever heard of a gastric bypass odor?  I happened upon this on an artical.  I also hope to put some pictures and spruce up my profile as soon as I learn how.

I have undergone the 6 month nutritional required course, required by my insurance company.  I am filled with so much anticipation that I just can't except the waiting time.  It's like waiting for a bomb to explode. I want to start loosing the weight as well increase my endurance to working out at the gym.  It seem so far away but awe so close.  My surgery date is coming up this august.  I'm feeling crazed.
