So its been 6 weeks and Ive lost like hmmm 42 lbs.... all together.  This month I have lost 10 lbs.. Im not complaining.  I can see the difference.  I actually glad my weight loss has slowed a little.  I was really sick when i was loosing a pound a day.  Now I have more energy and I feel SO much better.
The nausia is completely gone now and I have identified the bad guy.  If I dont eat, I get sick. 
I was a size 26 and now I am a 22.... kind of.  I was a tight 26 before surgery.  Now Im a tight 22.  My 22 shorts fit great with plenty of room, and a pair od 22 jeans are a perfect fit, but my old navy 22's are still to tight.... Oh well, not for long 
I still have a problem with drinking straight water.  So I drink plain green tea.  I LOVE it.  No added sweetner, sugar, or anything.  It leaves a sweet taste in my mouth.
I have my 6 week post op pics up
Good times
Abbie

So today is really the first day that I have felt better.  My two week post op appointment is on Wednesday so I am not officially supposed to be eating soft foods, but I did anyway.  I had some fruits like strawberries, watermelon, and honeydew.  I ate 3 chips, and a bite of chocolate cake.  The chocolate cake was revolting.  I didnt understand. Everyone was "mmmmming" over this stuff and all i could think was "go get a washcloth or brush your teeth" BLEH.  I think this surgery has made me not like chocolate. Which in itself I guess wouldnt be a bad thing.  Looks like that love affair is over. 

Besides that, My weight on the day of surgery was 260 and this mornings weight was 246.6. so thats what, 14 lbs? A lb. per day? I guess thats not bad.  I have to start walking, I kind of gave that up after the first week due to feeling dizzy and nausiated all the time.  Today I felt good.  I really did.  I socialized, jumped on my husband and laughed.  I got up and did things for people and didnt once feel like crap between the hours of 2 and 5.  That was fantastic for me.  I am going to take my 2 week post op pics in a few, I need to go get the same outfit on, the pics I took the other day were horrible.  I'll never wear that outfit ever again!!

So there it is.  Ill let yall know what the doc says on Wednesday.
Balls and Shaft,
Abbie

So I am 11 days out and its a warm day.  I put on my shorts... and they dont fit.  Crap

And I am so super proud of myself!! I didnt cheat!! well ok, I put a 1/2 pea size of PB on my tounge and let it melt.  But God I needed some flavor.  I've been drinking my liquids, but I havent been up to my protien shakes, they make me nausiated.  I know I should force myself, but I cant handle that right now.  My NUT said that I shouldnt really worry about all that till after my first pre-op appointment.  So Im not going to.  I bought some Fugi water, because water here SUCKS!! So Ive been just sipping away on that.  
I've lost about 10 lbs this week, woot :) but other than that, I think Im doing ok.  Healing well. and finally getting some good pain free sleep :) thats my own fault though.  I stopped taking my meds about 2 days out.  It tasted like crap and didnt help that much anyway.
Sooooooo Poof there I am :)

Bleh, I think Im getting a chest cold.  Then agian I might just be freaking myself out.  Bleh.  Surgery is in 10 days, and I know that if I get really sick, they will cancel it.  I cant do that.  Mentally I am all amped up to do this, mom has bought her plane ticket and everything is in its place... I havent bought a robe.... I need to get a robe... ok.. time to see what the results were from my clotting draw yesterday.  I took Jack to the hospital with me and he had a great time :) He walked around and smiled at all the preggo ladies, making them all feel great about themselves.  The nurse said that he should work there :) 
Good times, Ill let (ME) know what my test results are.

So I am getting anxious about the pre op appointment... I've been stocking up on those whey shot protien things, a bit of chicken broth and stuff that Ill be eating after the surgery.  My house dynamic is changing a little.  I am babysitting a little boy around the age of my son, and its been great.  My mother will help for two weeks post op, then its me on my own with the kiddos again.  Holy poop.  THank God for nap time!!!

So anyway, Ive been stressing over my preop appt. I had to continue loosing weight after my approval, and I havent.  I havent been sticking to my liquid diet, and Ive been "splurging" a lot.  But Ive only gained one lb. since my approval session and I can liquid diet it until my pre op... Ugh. 

May 11th is the date for my surgery and April 29th is my pre-op appt.....

Anywho, Im gunna leave it at that and go eat the last cadburry egg

So I spoke with our head nurse today and she said if I have everything done by the time I have my appt with their nutritionist EEEVA LOVE HER, then I can wither have my surgery on May 4th or 11th!!!!!!!  YAY
I also had my psyc spt today and it went smooth.  I really like her.

OK, so last night we went next door for a belated St. PAtties day brava.  I ate food.  I felt so guilty.  Like if I dont loose this 5-10 lbs that the nutritionist is going to deny me.  I dont think she will, but I just want this so badly.  So back on liquid.  Corrin (good friend of mine) was wondering what we are going to eat on our coffee days.  She said "no more food on coffee days" and I told her "No I'll be fine, Ill just drink coffee and not eat" I dont know, I dont like people fussing over me.  I do know that for dinner I am doing to have a handfull of popcorn or two.  I am having a bunch of ladies come over for a Twilight party, and Im serving popcorn and bottled water.  Ugh.  Thank God I make the best popcorn Ever!!

So there is my confession.  Last night I ate food.  I didnt OVER EAT.  I ate small portions, albeit a little bit of everything.

I'll be ok....

Protien shake in 2 hours..... ugh Im hungry

SOOOOOOOOOOO here it is, I need to loose 5-10 lbs in about 13 days, so thats about a lb a day basically.  So here I am on a liquid diet.  This totally sucks.  I just started it this last bout of being hungry.  I drank the juice form my hubbys progresso soup.  IM STILL HUNGRY!!! This sucks.  I want food.  Not to mention we are watching the history channel and its all about snack food.  UGH!!!! 


I HAve to do this!! I have to!!

I WILL!!
Until I pass out :) lol

from the nutritionist, she rescheduled on me....again... so April 2 it is!! I made a decision today, Im doing the sleeve instead of the RNY .  It may be Tried and True, but I think that the sleeve is a better fit for me.  I have seen to many people's health just fail after a while just because they are tired of trying.  I cant do that

that being said.  I have damn near ALL my pre op appointments done and the rest will be done by next week.  exept the damn nutritionist.  AHHHHHH that lady drives me nuts.  Oh well.  I can be patient.  I've been wanting this for like 4 years.... I can do this.  I am more excited about being able t ochase Jack around than anything else!! Speaking of, I think he is waking up.. Poor kid 

Thats it for now
