Noone not even me could view my profile for the past 3weeks, it had some kind of virus, so please send me friend requests to my new name  JamieRN    Thanks so much!!!!!

So i have another stricture, I thought I was doing soooooo good, back to the gym 6 days after surgery, lost 45.1 pounds since Last week of October and then this happens, not once but twice!!!! Feelin' sooooo down about it, can only get liquids thru again, do not wanna be miserable for the holidays!! Gotta get in this week for hopefully another EGD!! This sucks, it really amkes me start to regret having the surgery, even though I know it can be fixed it is sooooo frustrating and takes its toll on you emotionally & physically, with the clears Im only getting like 100 calories per day and working full time with 2 small kids is killing me energy wise, not to mention I think I have become the crankiest wife & mother around!!! Wish me luck!!

Not a very pleasant experience....Threw up everything I ate all day wednesday, could barely swallow my own saliva!! Went to the hospital, was there for 2 days, had to have an EGD because I had a stricture!! My stoma was only open 1/2 mm and it should be 10mm, so they dilated me to 10mm and now I am home, so thankful that I can swallow!! So now back on the road to recovery....Keep ya' posted of more to come!!

So I had my 2 week check-up on Wednesday 11/25 & I am down 15.1 pounds since surgery & 35.1 pounds since September!! Very exciting. He released me back to work for this Monday @ my request, I just hope it's not too soon! But w/ X-mas coming i don't have much of a choice, my husband hasn't worked since April so I have to do what I have to do I guess. I work w/ fabulous people so I hope it goes o.k. It's just a li' nerve wrecking because being a nurse your day is always different & unpredictable.....so here goes nothing!! I weihged in this morning & I am down another 3 pounds!! WooHoo!!

Feelin' very tearful & on edge these past few days!! What's goin' on?!? I am down 15 pounds since surgery 2 weeks ago. I have had no pain/problems until yesterday. It feels like I cannot eat anything!! The protein shakes are making me nauseated, Just water is my friend & I know thats not healthy. Goin' to see my surgeon tomorrow and see when he'll let me back to work. Just when I thought all was well & I was ready to go back....this hits!! So frustrating right now!! I took a bite of refried beans and it felt like they were going to be stuck there forever, and the fatigue is KILLING me, Im never a nap person, all of a sudden the last 5 days thats ALL i want to do!! Keep ya' posted!

Ok so surgery last Tuesday afternoon went really well, I guess I was in Surgery for 2 hours 2minutes...LoL Came home thursday and all has been well. I had the lap RYN. The only pain I have had is gas pains & really bad back pain but barely nothing most of the time. So here is my concern....They say you usually don't feel thirsty/hungry for a few weeks. But I dfinately feel thirsty and I have felt hungry a few times! I am so worried my surgery didn't work me. They also say you can only hold 10cc every 10 minutes or 1oz every 30 minutes, but I can sip down 5-7 oz. chicken brother over 30 minutes or so same with water, but if I eat my pudding I do feel full. Is this normal??? I have failed @ every attempt to lose weight in my life that it just seems in the back of my mind that this won't work either, yet Im so motivated/excited for it to work!! Help!?!?!

So Im sitting here freaking out because Im about 12 hours from my arrival to the hospital for my RYN, Im just getting so nervous parying nothing goes wrong! Just keep me in your prayers tomorrow & Ill let the surgeon do what he's best at....

So my surgeons office called today & said they wanted to put me in Tuesday for surgery, we are talking 4 days away people!! So They wanted me to lose another 5 pounds  by my surgery date so I thought ok sweet I have 3 months to accomlish that goal, thats a simple one. BUt now you guys, I have friggen 3 days to lose 5 pounds!!! I have to weigh in Monday @ 1:40 pm and meet the weight loss goal in order for me to be booked for the surgery on Tuesday....Do not know what I am going to do....Holy Crap, speaking of crap I am going to cleanse my colon this weekend to help w/ the 5 pound weight loss, Just hope it really works. I just left the gym and burned almost 1000 calorie's so I plan on doing that the next 3 days as well, Please pray for me and wish me luck. It still doesn't seem real. I think if I get on that scale that day and I don't lose enough I will probably lose my mind & break down and cry....So here goes nothing!!

Went to see my surgeon Friday the 30th, and he cannot fit me in for surgery for 3 MONTHS!!!! February 2nd!! I am so bummed! I am ready to go. I just want to start my new life and get this part behind me!! He saves the last 6 weeks of the year for people who are losing their insurance coverage by December 31st! So very nice of him, yet very frustrating for me.....I did meet my weight loss goal he set for me so now if there is a cancellation I am on top of the list to go sooner, so I am watching everything I am putting into my mouth so incase I go earlier I don't gain any weight. If you gain any weight at your pre-op appt. that is one week before the surgery (even 1 pound) he cancels the surgery!! So talk about being nervous!! So I am eating healthy and staying in the gym atleast 5 days per week! Just wanna begin my new journey...Keep me in your prayers that I get called in sooner, I don't think I can wait 3 months without going crazy! I have already been in the approval process for 2 years now, and it's finally happening....although too slowly for me!!
