Almost 3 months out

Jun 22, 2010

The 29th of June marks my 3 months out. I am down 49 lbs. and hopfully 50 before i get to the 29th. I am amazed how much I have lost in the inches dept.  My clothes are loose and I find something stashed in my closet from years ago almost daily that now fits...it is a terrific feeling. i am thrilled with my WLS and thank God every day for it...it has changed my life. If all goes well I will lose another 50 lbs. in the next three months and be nearly to my goal weight...I can only hope it is as great an experience as it all has so far! Life is good......

Life just keeps getting better

May 26, 2010

I am 2 months out on the 29th and I am under 200 lbs. 196 to be exact. and shrinking daily. I still want to pinch myself that I am loosing weight, I am wearing a size 14 now. It just blows me away. My surgery pain is now a fading memory...the physical well being is taking over now and I am feeling great. Up to 4 miles on my walks, back to work regularly and I bought some bands and free weights for my workouts. I love "the world according to eggface" and other than taking to darn many vitamins I love my new life!!!! Thank you God!!! I also Love my new boss at work...she's the best! Life is good .....

I turned the corner!

Apr 02, 2010

Today was an ahha day..I was'nt sleeping very well, I tried our bed and it was unbearable...I tried my recliner chair which was ok for about three hours before I woke feeling like I'd been run over by a train. My sweet hubby had a great idea. We have one of those twin sz. sofa sleepers in our den. He used the seat cushion to create an angle like a hospital bed slightly raised, then he put pillows in a u shape on it and it was very commfy. I splept from 10:30 to 6 am which was awesome. I woke up this morning feeling rested. Also I had been suffering from a horrid evil headache and nausea. I suspected it was caffiene withdrawl. I knew I wasn't supposed to have it  but was not sure of the reason why. I researched and found it can cause constipation, dehydration and supress you appetite. Well I was drinking just fine. eating ok too and I havent stopped pooing since my surgery!!! So being the non compliant little booger I am, I asked my hubby to make me a very weak cup of tea. I sipped it over a half hour then proceeded to drink a full 8 oz glass of water over the rest of the evening and by golly I felt like a new woman within 20 mins of drinking that tea!!! I will not go back to that sick headed nausead person I was before. Moderation is the key..So I will indulge in a 1/2 cup of weak tea in the am to aviod the evil of caffiene withdrawl again. My recovery actually seems better and more possible. I feel wonderful. I don't recommend you follow my choice. It is working for me. Prior to surgery I was a heavy coffee drinker...so if you are too you really need to cut it back to avoid this evil part of recovery. I am able to get up and move alot better today!!! I no longer am saying"Oh why did I do this to myself" I am now thinking of the possiblities to come...

I am excited and looking forward to what happens next. Anticipation of how things will work out. I have nothing to compare it to so its all new. I have had a bit of difficulty with my breathing.

5 days and counting down.....yikeeees!

Mar 23, 2010

Went and bought my sublingual b12 and citracal today...stocked up on Sf jello and Broth...I have my juice and my water and my protein powder all ready for my surgery 5 days away....I am so excited nervous and thrilled and scared and excited and nervous...I am having some doubts then look in the mirror and know I am doing the right thing. I can do this, I need to do this. I will probably not blog again until I am post op. I did buy a new camera so I can get my hubby to take some pictures of me in my present bloated beauty....then I will be able to rejoice as I compare the post op and monthly shots of my new journey. I am greatful to God for this opportunity to gain the control of my body again and be the kind of person I am inside my head, not what I see in the mirror. I will never eat McDonalds again...that is one promise I will make now. It will never touch my lips I will use this tool to conquer my obesity and get a grip on my life, weight and future. Thanks for all of your support dear friends and I will see you on the losers bench in a few days.

14 days away

Mar 14, 2010

I have been waiting waitng waiting for what seems like an eternity for my surgery and now its only 14 days away. OMGoodness 14 days till I become a new me. I am so nervous because even tho I have my surgery date I still havent got my insurence approval so until I hear it is a green light form them I will remain cautious so I am not to dissappointed, if it is delayed.  hope it is approved so I don't have to do battle with the insurance titans....I hate that. I am beginning my liquid diet on friday in preperation either way so I will still begin to lose even if I have to wait for approval. I'll post later if I get my insurance clearence.
