 LOL it has been a long time since I have posted sheesh! Well in my last post here I was 260 lbs and this week when I weighed in last Tuesday I was 213 lbs! MAN I have lost 47 lbs since my last post and a total of 83 lbs. I couldn't be happier! I feel amazing and I am able to do more things. I am eating a pretty normal diet. I still can't do bread and salad's. But other than that I get in my protein and all the good for me stuff! I am living and loving life!!!! I hope you all are doing well! 

 Ok so week number #4 I gained 1.8 lbs and this week I am down 5.8 lbs!!! WOW!! I am so glad! I am at 260 LBS!

 Ok so this week I have not lost any weight. I am still sitting at 264 Lbs. I am just thankful I didn't gain any weight. I hope everyone is doing well. I am doing great so far!

 Ok so I visited my surgeon today and everything has gone well. I am feeling good I am healing good and have been released from all restrictions! I also lost 12.2 lbs this week! Oh my gosh!!!!!! 12.2 lbs in a week I nearly fainted! I will be doing weekly updates as long as time permits!

Nothing to exciting happened in the past week. Except I LOST 8.8 LBS!!! Oh how excited am I? I have lost total since I saw my surgeon on June 13th 20.8 LBS and 17.8 LBS has been in the last 18 days! YAY!!!!!!!! So I am however a little under the weather today due to what I think may be a stomach bug and I only think that because my brother and mother feel the same way. We will see if not better in 2 days I will contact my doctor. Well thanks for reading and all the warm thoughts and wishes that have been sent my way!

So the day of my surgery I had to go in at 5 am to be checked in and I waited in that room with and IV and a my husband till around 7 when my surgeon came in and talked to us and then back I was rolled away to surgery. As soon as my nurse wheeled me out of the room the gave me some "calming" medicine and boy was I calm. The only thing I remember from the operating room is a lot of nurses and one of them was wearing a spongebob hat. 

My surgery was completed by 8:53 am and I was in my ICU room (precaution for all RNY patients of my Dr. the first night) at 10:30 am and I didn't fully wake up till 4pm. When I woke up though I got up and walked around. My surgeon was happy when he came in that I was walking around and awake. I was very happy that all was well. 

Day #2 in hospital was uneventful till I was unable to pass gas. Oh my it hurts!!! Day 2 was good though I go in some broth and I was able to walk more and over all it was a good day.

Day #3 in the hospital it was painful I needed to pass gas!!! Well so I was sent for an x-ray and sure enough I was full of hot air! Well finally it was expelled and boy I felt better!!!!! I got to take a shower and get all pretty and clean and my surgeon got the news of the gas gone and I was allowed to go home! (I had to wait for my husband of course) BUT I was free!!!!!! SO YAY!!!!!!! 

Went home and boy I got my medicine filled and I took them and I fell fast asleep. Since then I have taken a shower and gotten up and walked around I even walked 7 or 8 houses down from mine  and back. Man I was so happy with myself!! Alrighty well then I am done now...and I will be back in a few days to give more of an update!!!

So that is my liquid diet and I sticking to it!!!! YAY!!!! I am so excited it is over but now I will be posting about the post-op me!

 Ok so I thought I was going to update this more but I got pre-occupied with youtube. I have been updating my WLS journey over there with a vlog. It is truly interesting and inspiring how many people are willing to share there WLS journey!

So anyway my liquid diet update! So I am suppose to get between 130-150g of carbs and 40-50g of protein everyday. 

So here is Day #1 I weighed myself when waking up and it was 294 #'s 
I got 94g of carbs and 66g of protein.

Day #2 weighed in at 290 #'s
94g of carbs and 58g of protein

Day #3 weighed in at 287.8
108g carbs and 35g protein

Day #4 weighed in at 286.8
108g carbs and 31g protein

Not doing so well with the carb intake and now my protein has dropped also. I am trying but this liquid stuff is hard! Alright well that is all for now! If you would like you can check out my youtube channel @ http://www.youtube.com/bridgadeans  

So I was told on July 2nd I have three ulcers. Hooray for me! So now I am on some medicine and I am hoping the go away in time for surgery or at least that it will not interfere with my surgery. I am excited and worried about this surgery all at the same time. I hope all goes well especially since I have 3 beautiful kids at home. I am terrified of something going wrong and I will be down for longer than planned I want to spend all the time with my young ones while they still want to spend time with there "old mom". Ok ok I am done! Thanks for reading!
