Finally doing good!

Nov 04, 2007

Well, I had another dialation and then my gall bladder out and now I am all better. I can eat without getting sick for the first time since surgery. No more nausea and I feel good. I go back to work tomorrow for the first time in 3 months!. I am glad that I am going back but I also wish that I was independantly wealthy and didn't have to....lol. I am down 79lbs and hope to be down almost 100lbs by Christmas. That is 21 more pounds in 2 months. It seems reasonable but we'll see. I am just so glad that I finally feel good!

Through the Hard Part.....Maybe!

Well, I am 8 weeks out and after 4 hospitalizations and 2 dialations I think they have me straightened out. They found a bleeding ulcer and now I am taking medicine before I eat and no more vomiting. I am finally starting to get the routine down and i'm getting all of my fluids in.
Don't let anybody tell you that this is a cake walk because I have thrown up repeatedly every day since surgery up until this week. I am down 56lbs in 8 weeks and you can't beat that. I just want everyone to understand what they are undergoing when they sign up for this surgery. I am just now getting my energy level back and am returning to work Monday. I did go back once but after just a week had to be hospitalized again. 
I will get some new pics up this week becuase the loss is very noticable and very encouraging.

2 week out today!

Aug 15, 2007

2 weeks out today and down 24lbs. woo hoo! I feel great and am finally starting to get the schedule down. I finally had to just take my food journal and write down vitamin 1 2 3 and then when i take a vitamin I mark one off. I did the same thing for calcium chews, protein shakes, fluids, and 10 minute walks. It sounds amazingly simple but it is the 1st day that I have met all of my requirements. I go back to work on Monday and I want to make sure that I have the schedule down before I throw a monkeywrench into it. My husband told me that he could tell I was losing today in my stomach and it made me feel so good! I will catch you next week with my weigh in.

5 days out!

Aug 05, 2007

Well, I am 5 days post-op from my lap RNY and I feel kinda awful. I am having some real trouble getting in all my fluids and am not making my protein yet either. I feel kind of blah! Everyone says that it is just a stage you go through and I hope they are right. I think if I feel good today I will get out of the house and go to Wal-Mart to get some things I didn't think of before surgery, like tupperware to freeze my food in. I never thought that I could make a can of soup and that would be like 20 meals! There is so much of everything left. I will post again later this week and i hope to be doing much better!

Surgery date getting closer!

Jul 22, 2007

My surgery date is getting closer and I am starting to get butterflies. I keep thinking that this is the best thing to ever happen to me but I also keep thinking that there are so many things that can go wrong. I guess I need to relax and concentrate on healing in a positive way but i'm just getting so scared. Well I am going to get off here and see if I can't get my shopping list together so that I can go get all my vitamins and food items that I will need after surgery.

Well, I went to my all day dietician meeting at St. Vincent's in Carmel, In. yesterday and I only have 19 day left until my RNY! Everyday that goes by I get a little more nervous. I have been thinking about this for years but now that the day is here I am having bouts of crying, anxiety, and just nerves in general.

I go for all my pre-op testing this Wednesday and I hope I will feel better by then. I had a horrible migrain today!
