2-9-08 Well the big day is over and now I am on the loser side. I had surgery yesterday and all went well. The worst pain was in my feet. They pinched the nerves somehow on the sides and they hurt so bad for most of the night that I could barely stand. I am glad to be home. I feel tired but other than that no problems. I will keep posting as things change.

2-13-06 I am so excited I finally have a picture. For the life of me I could not figure it out. Thanks MK you were there for me again. LOL!!! I cannot wait to go to the doctors to find out what I have lost the big day is 2-21-06. Good Luck to all pre and post-op friends.

2-16-06 I am one week post-op and feeling great. I have gotten alot of walking in. I am just waiting for my follow up on 2-21 to see the results of the hard work. I must say the first 3 days were the hardest. For Valentines day I must say I would of loved to have a nice big steak and baked potato. But instead my mom and sister made me a basket with sugar free pudding,jello protein drinks, weights all the things I need for this long journey. The best part my sister put in a bag 1 peanut butter hershey kiss MMMMM my favorite. It is still sitting there but how tempting. Good Bye for now I will update later.

2-19-06 Two days till I weigh in since surgery. Can' wait. Today I had my first sugar free fudge pop. It was soooooo good and I had no problems. Feeling great a little pain on my left side but I think it is because it is healing otherwise no other pain or anything.

2-26-06 Just an update nothing really important. I have been on this damn computer for like 5 hours trying to figure out a few things 1) Why does my picture keep moving down when I update? I want it to stay on the top so I can add new pictures in order as I update. 2) I cannot figure out how to get the scale from the 3fat chicks web page so I can put it in my profile. I tried to put it in the picture part but nothing comes up but a box. I tried to put it where I am now updating and it just puts the code no scale. God I get so annoyed and frustrated. 3) I also want a nice profile page not a plain one and I cant figure that out either. What am I a dummy, clueless, I wish I could just figure this mess out. Well now down to business. I feel great other than having a killer earache which took me to the doctors about 11:00 Saturday night I could not take the pain anymore. My neck was swollen and I was miserable I think I tried every home remedy peroxide, oil, heating pad and to no avail. Finally $88.00 doctor visit later and a $35.00 antibiotic and BAM!!! it is finally feeling a hell of alot better and all the infection is leaking out of my ear. It is so nasty. Anyway I just thank god it was only my ear and not really sick. For us WLS patients the word "DEHYDRATE" is a scary thing. I have not been able to weigh myself on my home scale because it still says "TO BE CONTINUED" Ha!Ha! It does not register if you are over 330 so I still have to wait till I hit that mark. One day, it seems to be taking forever. But then again it is only 21/2 weeks since surgery. I must be looking for a miracle. I will update soon next Dr. visit is March 14th. Maybe I will figure out this scale thing and you can watch with me. Good luck to all pre-op and post-op my prayers are with you.

3-2-06 Just thought I would drop a line to let everyone know I was doing great. I went to a support group meeting on Tuesday night. I love that place. I like to hear everyones stories. A very good place to hear what people have to say about there experience. I still dont know if I have lost anymore weight but I will find out soon enough. Hope everyone is well and thank again for your well wishes.

3-5-06 Well I had an appointment today with the gym I am going to for an evalutation. I could not wait to step on the scale. Well when I did I could not believe I only lost another 4 pounds since 2-21. That is only 4 pounds in 12 days. What the hell is going on? What am I doing wrong? Anyway my appt. went good I go back tomarrow for my workout that was set up for myself. I hope the scale moves a little quicker now. So depressing!!! Hope everyone is doing well and I will update again soon. Since surgery on 2-8 total of 22 pounds.

3-10-06 I thought I would just update. Well I started the gym full force on Monday. I went 3 times so far this week. I cannot wait till 3-14 to step on the scale. I hope I have lost more. I have been really depressed. When I started the scale at the gym said only 4 pounds. With the help of OH friends you have kept my head up. Thanks for all the encourgement. I am so glad I found this website. Today it was like 65 degrees here. It was beautiful walking weather. I am glad spring is almost here. More motivation I need. I will check in soon. Till next time good luck to everyone.

3-14-06 I am back just to update. I went to the doctor and I lost 7 more pounds which brings me to a total of 25 pounds since surgery. That is 25 pounds in 1month and 5 days. I must say again I am disappointed because the dr. said at my last visit that I should do about 18. Seven is not even half. I dont know what else to do. Dr. said to do more cardio and the machines are good to help build up my metabolism. I go back in 1 month lets see how that goes. He said I should be about 301. That means 39 pounds to lose in 1 month. Wish me luck.

3-15-06 ********1st WOW MOMENT*********
It was such a beautiful weekend here. It was like 72 degrees all weekend. Well today we are back at 45 degrees and windy cold so of course I needed my jacket. I was outside at work and it was so cold I tried for the hell of it to zipper my jacket and I was able to zip it all the way with some room to spare. I quick called my sister to tell her the news.
I am feeling much better, I have not been to the gym in 5 days because of my terrible cold. But tomorrow I will be back in full force. I was just worried I would have a coughing fit while on the treadmill or something. Hope all my OH friends are doing well.

3-30-06 Well I have been working out very hard. I can honestly say I am trying so hard. The support group meeting Tuesday night was great. I love going to the meetings. I stepped on the scale today and much to my surprise it moved. DOWN!!! 330 I thought I would never lose another pound. I see how everyone says the weight just drops off. Well that is not the case for me. I know I did not get this way overnight but I wish I could lose it overnight. Keep up the good work OH.

4-10-06 Well little by little I am losing but something is better than nothing. I have come to the conclusion chicken does not like me anymore. I get sick everytime I try it. I have tried it several different ways and no luck. I have finally figured out how to spruce up my profile and have been able to help a few people on the bored. I am glad I was able to help. I know how they feel because no one would get back to me when I asked for help. Hope all OH patients are doing well. Keep up the good work. Until next time.

4-11-06 I got back on the track today. Boy can I tell a difference. I feel alot better when I am done. I seem to be not so tired. It was really nice outside so that helped also. I know excercise is a must but I must admit it is a chore for me to get started.

4-19-06 Two month follow up today. I am down to 319 that means 46 pounds gone forever. I was really happy. I also found out the doctor I was suppose to see is no longer in the practice. That was really weird I thought he was so nice. The new doctor is also very nice though. I cant wait to hit the 300 mark. I will then go and get a new outfit or something. I really see a big difference in my clothes. Keep up the good work everyone. Till next time.....

4-30-06 Well it has been 11 days since I have been to the doctors and I have only lost 1 pound. What the hell is going on here? I also hit a mile stone today. My kids birthdays are in May and 2 of them wanted new bikes so we bought them at Toys r' Us. When we got home of course they wanted to ride them. After about three hours it was time to come in so I said to the oldest one let me take a spin. Guess what she still has her tires and I rode the bike almost around the block. I was about three houses away and my legs just could not push anymore. I cant even remember the last time I rode a bike.
MySpace Layouts 7-12-06 WOW I have not updated for a while. For a while I was here all the time but I must admit I dont really like the new set up of OH. Maybe it is because I am not used to it I dont know. Anyway I am feeling great. As of 7-3-06 I weighed 288.5. You could not believe how happy I was to be under 300 it has been a long time. I am having one problem and that is my hair falling out. I didnt think it was so bad until I was at a support group meeting and this lady said to me Sherri you are really losing your hair in the front. I just wanted to climb under the table. I am gonna close for now. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Surgeon Info:
    Surgeon: Demesvar A. Jean-Baptiste M.D.
    When I went to see Dr. Jean-Baptiste I was very nervous and embarressed. When he came into the room to speak with me I was really relieved because he was a very nice, honest and pleasant person. He did not judge me because of my weight but did tell me all about the surgery and he will do all he can to help me as long as I followed directions from him. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Dr. Jean-Baptiste, surgeon Dr. John Bock, nutritionist, to anyone. They are the best and are always there when I need them. The doctors have a special diet to follow and are very strict with the diet after surgery. As long as you do what they say you will be fine. They are the best. Friendly, Experienced, Honest and an answer to all questions.
