WOW. I can't believe it has already been a year as of yesterday 5/10/08. It has been a bit of a hard but successful road. I haven't reached my goal weight yet but I have reached my mini goal of losing 100 LBS!!!!!!  I thank God everyday for life and losing the weight. I still have about 45lbs to lose and I have slowed down a lotttttt in the past 3 months but I know I will reach it in the next 6 months. I went to my doctors appointment and he wants me to come back in 6 weeks instead of 6 months. He says he has a something that can help me shed the rest of the weight.  Well we will see. I'll post pics later. 

 

Guys I feel like I'm eating to much. I know that I can eat more now that it has been 6 months but tell me am I tripping. I can eat about a small saucer plate of food most time. Sometimes I get really full from just 3 or 4 bits. But otherwise I can eat almost the full little plate.

6 months out!! I'm so happy. Just struggling a bit with getting enough protein, iron and vitaman C now. So the Doc has me on plenty of meds. Keep me in your prayers.

Quick check in, today I did better with eating and got in a lot of protein today. Go Me!... Well goodnite and blessing to all. Until next time

Ok I had such a bad day not only with losing a "friend" but my boss irriated me too. I was so out of wack that I didn't want to eat anything. My nerves got bad and I got dizzy so I managed to eat a orange. I did sip all day on water. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I can now tolerate water again. Praise the Lord. 

My weight lost is still slow and I haven't done alot of exercise due to my work but I'm still good with 45 lbs lost for now. I see the changes made and new ones to come.  I do need some more support now. 

I'm really feeling bad right now ,perplexed with work and so call friends. I think I need to re-focus on my goals and go back to just keeping drama free people in my life. . I know the lord will carrier me.

I haven't post in a while. Last time I was very upset and depressed. Today I'm much better. I'm down 37lbs. My weight lost has been very slow after the forth week. It is now week 9. I know I need more protein but milk makes me sick. I have wasted so much money on different protein drinks that just make me plain sick. I have tried meats and eggs. I have no real desire to eat these things. I have been able to eat fruits with no problem, everything else that goes down just hurts. HELP!!!. I'm not sure what to do. 
I go for my 3 mo. on 7/30/07. I will let my surgeon know that I have this tingling in my hands like they're falling alseep all the time. WTF is that about. I really don't have lots of energy either. Well till next time. Keep me in your prays.

I haven't posted in a while. Last time I posted I was very upset and not feeling well. I do feel better then I was. I went to the ER on 5/24 because I was having a hard time sipping without out a burning in my chest and pouch. I couldn't see at all and just kept throwing up. I had to have a couple of bags of IV's and found that I had ulcers. 
I am drinking more then before and trying creamy soups. I still can't walk far without being out of breath or having a hot flash. I have lost 30 lbs and had my 2 week post op.

I'm glad the wait is coming off but I would still not do this again if I had the chance. I feel like I'm in my first stage of pregnancy again but times 2. I know better days are coming and the first month or so is hard, so I do have positive people around me that are very supportive.

Hi, I haven't been on online in a few days. I have been feeling very bad. I am having doubts now. I know they say that people go through this in the beginning but I really hate the nausea. I can't drink or eat anthing without feeling bad. I can only get 1oz down. I never get my 64oz a day. I can't even drink water. I have lost 19lbs but the way I feel right now I don't really care. I have been talking to others from my job that say the first 30 days are kinda bad but will change. I hope so. I have almost vomit after every drink. I get the dumping after everything . I get very dizzy and my heart beats very fast. I'm at my witts. I called the doc office 2 times and was just told this is normal just try to get my liquids in and they will see me on 5/23. I'm going to give this a chance but if I'm not better I'm going to demand a upper gi test to make sure anything is ok.

Ok so, I haven't post much on my page but just to catch everyone up. I have gone through my 6 month visits required by Cigna. I was going to have Dr. Williams as my surgeon by found that he was not in my network after I was told serveral times by Cigna he was. So that delayed my surgery back in February. So I decided to go with Dr. Macik. I was approved on 4/4/07 which was one week after my paperwork was submitted. Yeah!!
I was told that my surgery would be 5/4/07 but it was then changed after I was told that my cardio clearance was over 5 months old. How crazy is that!  Dr. Macik requires the clearance to be within 3 months of the surgery. So my new date is 5/10/07.. Yeah!
