14 months

Feb 24, 2011

Well it's been 14 months and i'm down about 140 lbs. I feel great but I still have some work to do. I need to crack the whip and exercise more! It's so hard to stay motivated. I think I would be happy if I could lose another 25 lbs or so. I know it's not out of reach, so I need to buckle down!

5 Months

Jun 02, 2010

Hellooooo! It's been awhile. Things are going good on my end. I'm not having any stomach issues. Sugar doesn't bother me so no dumping syndrome. I am down 104 lbs so far and I feel great. I am having A LOT of hair loss. It sucks. I am really funny about my hair and i'm hoping that I don't end up bald! Other than that, things are great!

3 1/2 Months!

Apr 16, 2010

Well I havent been around in awhile but I figured I'd give a little update. My surgery was December 28th and I've lost 90lbs!!!! It's getting so exciting. I am down two pant sizes. I feel pretty good most of the time. Never really have any issues. I've thrown up twice since surgery because something didn't agree with me but other than that everything is good. I hope everyone else is doing well!

I feel like shit!

Jan 18, 2010

So the last week and a half have been dreadful. I feel so shitty. First I was so tired I didnt want to move, now i'm so sick to my stomach the last 3 days I'm not eating. I have dry heaved a few times. The look and smell of food makes me want to barf and I just have a sick feeling in my stomach. Does anyone else feel like this? I just feel like i'm probably getting depressed. I want things to be how they were before. I'm thinking of all these good foods and drinks that I used to be able to have. My clothes are starting to fall off me and I'm not even excited. I am just so blah right now. All I want is to feel better :(

2 week post op appointment

Jan 14, 2010

Went for my 2 week post op appt today. I'm down 39 lbs all together. While i'm glad, i've been so fatigued that I havent wanted to move. The doc says this is completely normal for some people and that I need to get up and get moving and hopefully by upping my protein and starting my vitamins i'll feel better in no time. I sure hope so, i'm so sick of being TIRED. I've had no problems with my food settling. I'm in my phase 3 diet where I can have eggs, cottage cheese, potatoes, mushed up veggies, tuna, chicken salads. It's nice to be moving up in the world. Now if I could just get enough water in. Blah.

I can't stand this kind of food anymore!

Jan 04, 2010

I am so sick of the foods that I can have right now! I don't go back to the doctor til the 14th and I assume at that point I can move into a phase 3 diet with cottage cheese and mushy veggies and things like that. Has anyone cheated and had any of that stuff already? Even cottage cheese! Something!

It's almost been a week!

Jan 03, 2010

Well it's been awhile since I've been online! Surgery went well. No problems. I lost 20 lbs on my pre-op diet. I was really sore the first few post op days but things got a little better every day and are still continuing to do so. It's been hard seeing everyone else eat really good food and smelling such good things.

I have had some cream of broccoli soup , broth, jello, popsicles. I am having trouble getting my water in and i'm really nervous because I don't want to get dehydrated and end up back in the hospital. I can't wait to be able to eat cottage cheese and mushed up vegetables!! Sounds like gold to me!  I go back to the DR on the 14th so I think at that time I'll be able to move up to Phase 3 in my diet. I can't wait!

I have also been SO COLD since I started my diet before surgery. I hear its going to be like this forever! I have been standing in the shower an extra long time just because I dont want to get out. My hands and feet are always freezing!

Anyway, i'll try to keep updating. I hope everyone is doing well!!!!!!

Upper GI

Dec 18, 2009

Today I had an upper GI that my dr wanted before surgery. Man was that fun. With every drink of barium, I thought I was going to get sick. It kept coming half way up and then going back down. Yuck! Then my stomach was upset all day and I had the shits. Was a wonderful experience!

Today is day 5 of my full liquid diet. Nothing too exciting. I haven't had any problems besides getting enough water in. I didn't realize how much I drank when I ate before. I can already feel my lips and mouth getting dry because i'm not drinking enough. I really need to work on it because it will only get worse after surgery. I'm counting down the days!

Today i'm starting to feel a little bit better about the whole thing. I've had so many things running through my head!! Anyway...good luck to those of you that are going through the same thing right now!! We can do it!
