2/8/07 Well its been a little bit since I updated but things are going well. I have kinda been at a stall for about a month but I havent been letting it get me down. I must be losing inchs though. Not to mention I am feeling great. But the bet part of all is last night I bought a pair of jeans size 20 as my next goal pair to hopefully encourage me to kick up my exercise. Well I went to try them on to see how far I had to go and they fit great. So I guess I am off to get a pair of 18's to work into. OMG!! This is so amazing going from not being able to even fit jeans to having 7 pairs that go from loose to fitting great. I'm so happy. Well I am off to try my new Tae Bo dvd.

1/ 4/07 Happy New Year Everyone!!! Well I finally hit my first goal to be out of the 300's forever and it feels great. Today I weighed 299 and I couldn't be happier! My New Years resolution this year is to get in all my exercise and protein everyday. I had a great time and New Years. I went out to the bar and I wore a halter top and skirt and heels. My first halter and heels ever. I felt very sexy for once. I am down - 94 pounds. Almost time to get a Century Club card!!!

Greenfield Filter Nightmare
Sep 08, 2006
I had the Greenfield Filter put in yesterday and it was a nightmare. I had to arrive at Harper at 6 AM for my surgery at 8 AM. Well they had some authorization problems so I didn't even get called back for prep until 9:30 AM. Since my surgeon was behind I was rushed through everything and I got to see my husband for one minute before they rushed me back to the operating room for what I expected to be a simple procedure. Well the local anestesia didn't help one bit and I felt everything as the surgeon poked and probed with tubes inside my neck and chest for what seemed 20 minutes. It hurt so bad I was crying and I couldn't catch my breath. All they kept doing was peeking under the stuff they had covering my face and saying you should be feeling a little pressure and kept telling me I had to breath. I even heard them say that the filter was in my heart. So he told them to prep my groin area. I was in shock from all the pain and there was nothing I could do. The surgeon then said I should feel a little poke as he started numbing my groin area and he managed to put it in there pretty quickly without a problem. When I got wheeled into recovery the pain in my neck was horrible and it was very swollen, there was alot of blood on my pillow and in my hair. And there was a hole in my upper chest that was slowly but continously leaking out blood. Anyways nothing was ever explained to me after I asked me people what happened and what the hole in my chest was about. I got out of there as quick as I could and tried recovering at home. My groin felt a little sore but my neck is horrible. And that pain was joined by a horrible pain in my lower right side o fmy back that is aching so bad right now that I have to keep stopping to stand up. All in all I think that this all would have been avoided if my surgeon was so behind schedule and if I would have been numbed sufficiently. It was a nightmare and Iwouldn't do it again. It just sucks I have to be in this much pain before my surgery in less than a week. Also by the way I have a very high threshold for pain. So I know what really hurts and what doesn't.
Well I hope this is all the bad luck that I have involving this whole Gastric Bypass ordeal. First the insurance problems then this. Just another obstacle I had to overcome.
I GOT A DATE!!
