 why has my body slowed down on me?

34 lbs to go can you believe it,

 It is one and poppin peeps! I am running the best race of my life anf lovin every minute of it. Just got my navel pierce and it is really cute. Three months ago you wouldn't have been able to see the ring in the navel (LOL)   

 

Hi all, let me tell you I have had the week from HELL . It all start last Wednesday I had no appetite at all and the fever started to creep. I could even get in my fluids, on day 3 of this I went to the ER and was given IV fluids and sent home this was on Friday, needless to sat on Saturday I was back at the ER and they found a egg sized gall stone, on Sunday morning I was rolling into the surgery room for gall bladder and stone removal. This was worse than the damn RNY. I just got out yesterday, I do not know if I feel as though I was hospitalized or incarcerated, either or I still can't SHYT. If I push any harder my butt will kick my ass for me. That is my update, take care of yourselfs and watch for the warning signs

I am feeling great everybody. I have no regrets and can't wait to see smaller me. I know I am down about 13 pounds, that scares me a little, I do not wish to lose my weight this rapidly, I want to tone and firm at the same time. I have had some dumping like pains from eating to fast, (I do not like this at all). I noticed for the first time I sleep all night long (smile). I suffer from sleep apnea, maybe no more huh? We will see.........I went to sleep at 10pm woke up at 6:30am I like this better than that every two hour wake plan I was on. Well God bless to you all and stay focus and positive.


Love my WLS

I everybody....Monday was my surgery RNY and all went well my doctor did find a hiatel hernia, it was repaired. I was home by 9pm Tuesday evening. I am in pain but I catch the pain before it catches me. I am so greatful and can not wait for the result to be seen. I am ready to exercise, my body doesn't want to wait (LOL). Thanks for all the support.

Wow I feel great.........I have lost the tase for a couple of items, eggs YUCK they make me sick no matter what style of preparation . I still have a hard time not drinking after a bite of food......I am working on it though. Jillian Michaels has a awesome workout routine if anyone is interested. I am going to be fit and firm. I should be back at work by the 26th can't wait being at home is boring.

this one was not what I had expected. I was given a series of questions to answer using a pencil and bubbling in the way I felt example (true, false, slightly true, mainly true, very true) there was 400 questions good GRIEF! I completed the request test and when I came to work this morning. I was told that I am a perfect candidate for the RNY. I was told that I am normal in my way of thinking and that I am strong and have no mental issues.

You did hear me say when I came in to work RIGHT....huh the psych department is right across the hall from the laboratory department where I am. I would be too through if they felt I was a mess............ So hopefully within the next three to four weeks I will have a date to lose the weight. Keep praying for me. I am praying for all of you and your success.

Everyone check this out.. It is fun and you will spend hours on it. Works the whole body and you can do it by yourself.

Go to www.tv.trikke.com you  won't believe this. I have a family member that has one and I have just ordered mine.

 
 

As of February 17th 2009, I have dropped 17.4 lbs  . I am tickled pink.  I am waiting to get that surgery date, hopefully soon. At this rate I will be at 130 on my own, but we all know it would come back 10 fold . I spoke to the office today and my date is set I will have pre-op on the 24th of April and surgery if all checks out okay on the 4th of May Hallalujha!!

Wow! I am soooooo excited. I just visited my surgeon Dr. Lawrence Dennen at Kaiser Hospital in Fremont, CA. He is the chief of the Bariatric Department and my surgeon.

I did not know what he would tell me, but I did get the answer I was hoping for. I will have the RNY, there is no date set just yet, I must first drop 15 lbs. It seems like the previous procedure I had done which was a panniculectomy to remove the hanging belly pouch (really did me no good at all. Let me explain, in 2006 I had a medically approved tummy tuck. It looks great ( To me anyway ), I have a new belly button and the stretch marks that were near my breast area are no longer . Anyway the removal of the extra fat ( 9 lbs)  extra skin (11 inches) and fat cells ( amount unknown) it is these fat cells that caused the problem I am having now. You would think that if I weighed 206 at the time of the procedure and with the removal or subtraction of the skin and fat, I should have came out weighing less, not the case. I ballooned to 225lb very quickly. It is due to the fat cells removal the body is a smart sucker  it re-distributed the fat in other areas of my body (ie) under my arms, diaphram ( I look preganent all the time), now lets talk about the fat on my back ( ok lets not ). The bottom line is my BMI is in actual terms more like a 41 vs the 36.0 based on my height and weight.

I will post a pick when I reach the 15 lbs that will place me at 208 lbs. I know this isn't much, but for my body type and structure it is volumes.

thanks for being a great WLS support group
