Feb 12, 2008

I am getting better everyday. I still have pain on the left side but i can handle it. WOW i lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks 20 i can't believe it that helped up my spirts. I have been very down lately and crying alot i feel depressed so i asked the nurse today and she said this is normal. I get to go to soft foods next week and i can't wait until i can have some cottage cheese  I hate this drink stuff and i have such a hard time trying to get all my protein in i just don't want anything. I hope the weight keeps dropping off i am down 65 pounds since i started this.

2/5/08 I'm Alive

Feb 05, 2008

Well i made it, i had some small problems but i am getting better now. i am having a real hard time getting my protein and water in. At night i get this real bad pain in my belly and chest that puts me down for the night. i asked the doc and he said that is the gas. boy never knew gas would hurt so bad. I am up walking but still have alot of pain in my belly, i have to hold it up when i walk but soon it will be gone WooooHooo. My Dr. is the best he would check on me everyday and when i had a problem with 2 nurse helpers he took care of it (i didn't care for my hospital) and when i went home he called me from just see how i was feeling, i never had a doctor do that before, just call to check on me when i am home. i would like to thank everyone for the good thoughts and prayers they helped alot. Well off to walk some. i will try to update later.

Reading alot

Jan 18, 2008

I have been reading alot of the post on here today and it has got me scared from hell. i was cool with everything i am doing and i trust my surgeon but after reading these about complcations i am thinking hard. i have 9 days left and i have 4 kids and husband that i can't leave. i look at them and think why am i going to do this am i going to die? am i just going to make myself sick? I have been so excited about getting this but know i don't know i hear good and bad i knew there were risks but damn i didn't know it could get this bad. i wish i didn't read all of them being so close to surgery. OH MY i am sooooo scared not to mention crying alot from feeling sad for some reason all i can think about is my babies. they are my whole world.


1/17/08 surgery pre-testing

Jan 17, 2008

Well today was the surgery pre-testing and it was easy i was happy. I worry about getting my blood drawn because they have such a hard time finding a vain, but god bless this lady she got it right away and there was no pain WOOHOO . Anyways the liquid diet has gotten alot easier, it's not bothering me so much now i still have a headache and sometimes feel light headed but i can deal with it now, before i thought i wouldn't make it. well 10 more days and counting until surgery.


Ok this is hell 1/15/08

Jan 15, 2008

Well i am trying and i am fine untill my stress gets home from school. My kids are the love of my life but they sure can drive me crazy Not to mention my monthly friend came to visit and the cravings are through the roof. I have to admit i had a very small weekness tonight and had a nibble of something healthy but from here on out i will be good. Stress is very hard for me to deal with sometimes but I am trying to get it together. i don't wanna give up I need this in the worst way because if i don't i will die and leave my family and they need me. I like being able to come on here and vent the more i type the better i feel. tomorrow is a new day and it will be better.

Jan 10, 2008

Well went to the liquid fast class today and meet with the doctor. I was not scared until now they tell you all the things that could go wrong not what i wanted to hear but he needs to tell us. Well as of today i have lost 32 lbs since i started this and i feel real proud of myself i have always had such a hard time with weight loss (the yo yo thing) but i am so excited about having this surgery that i am really motivative to do this. Well i need to make it through the weekend and i will start my liquid diet monday. I have to go away for the weekend one of my daughters has a gymnastics meet and it is so hard to remember not to run to the stand when i am hungry or just smell the people's food around me that is the worst. Well off for some hope tomorrow will be another good day.
