On the 9th I had my surgery.  They performed a gastric bypass as well as removed my gall bladder.  They also found a mass on my liver and removed it as well.  Luckily it was benign.  The doctor says it is common for anyone having been on birth control at one time.  A little over a week later and I am doing great.  I get tired every now and again, and the sight where I had the JP drain to drain the fluid from my liver is still sore.  Otherwise I am doing good.  

I am on pureed foods now.  It's not so bad.  It is nice to have something in my mouth that is not sweet.  I haven't really felt real hunger but I occasionally have cravings for things that I won't be able to have until after the pureed period.  Like my Skinnytaste Chicken Tikka Masala.  During the surgery I swelled up and gained about 10 pounds of fluid.  I finally am back to the pre surgery weight and will start tracking my weight again.  Has anyone else had that problem?

Either way I am looking forward to the adventure ahead.

3 weeks from today, on September 9th at 815 am I will be having my surgery.  Both scared and excited.

I have my weigh in on Thursday and as of this morning on my home scale I have lost 10 pounds of the 17 I need to lose to lock in my Op date.  I am so very proud of myself.

It is not an official weigh in but today on July 5 th 2014 I am 337 lbs.  Almost 20 pounds lighter than when I started.  I was 344 at my first pre op weigh in last week.  I have to reach 17 pounds to lock in my op date.  So far I am at 7 pounds.  10 more to go.  Sooooo excited.

Weight at Start: 354 May 15, 2014

Goal Weight: 145 

Current Weight: 346 May 22, 2014

Current Conditions: High Bloodsugar, high A1c, high blood preassure, anemic due to excessive menstrual bleeding, ocassional skin rashes, joint and muscle pain, insomnia.

 My Doctor plans on seeing me every month to monitor my progress.  On my monthly weigh ins I will post more images and as well as the changes in my conditions to show how loss of weigh not only makes me look better but ultimately better for my overall health.
