well i just wanted to let everyone know that i had my surgery on january 26th....i had a PCA morphine pump that was my best friend... i just got home about 30 min ago... my throat hurts from being intubated.... and i feel as if i got hit by a mack truck.... but it was all worth it. i am not even a little bit hungry ... ask any questions you like i will answer.... ,,,,,


thanks 
jessica

 i have been rescheduled yet again i am having a nightmare!!!!!! i just knew this was going to happen.... i was on my induction diet ready to go... now here i am again another 2 weeks....i just had a venous doppler today now my new surgeon wants sleep study another endoscopy and a motility study ....god give me patience ......

           In the middle of last year i restarted weight watchers for the millionth time.... it works ..... but once you stop" hello weight right back again!!" at those weight watchers meetings i remember those people talking about how having bariatric surgery is the easy way out!!! boy are they wrong... this no eating solids before surgery is a real test!!! because i feel like a junkie going through withdrawals ....
           i am starting to hate chicken broth and crystal light!!! i know i know its for the best its what i need to do, if i hear one more person tell me if your losing weight like that ,on that liquid diet  than don't do the surgery & if one more person tells me your not hungry it's all in your mind..i am going to slap them.....lol..jk...
             but really people who have never been over weight just do not understand what its like..when i was angry food was there.... when i am disappointed food was there.... it was like food understood my pain...lol sounds funny i guess... i never even said goodbye to my other husband "Ben & Jerry CHUNKY MONKEY" adios my favorite amigo....good bye DIET PEPSI, adios SELTZER WATER..... bye bye PECAN PIE......now that i got that out of my system......lol... 

 Two days to go!!!! Here is to the rebirth of a new me..... i think January 12th 2010 will be my new birthday!!!! lol....

 

 Hello everyone!

          My name is Jessica, i have been a member to this site for a really long time, i have finally taken the leap to stop the yo-yo dieting! when i began this journey of endless doctors visits i wondered "do i really want to do this?" the answer is yes... i am tired of being the fat girl..... of going into clothing stores wishing that the picture in the mirror would change this time.....tired of being treated differently because of my weight.... not being able to get on the ride in great adventures because the overhead bar wouldn't close...tired of not being able to do fun activities with my children because i am too run down....
            i feel like i am going to give birth ..... if you look at it that way you really are.... i am giving birth to a new me...... 

i must say the journey has been a little difficult it seems that my first surgeon was stringing me along telling me i was scheduled for surgery only to find out he was not even able to perform bariatric surgery at the hospital where i am scheduled. my insurance gave the OK for the surgery everything was approved and then i get the call....."oh Jessica i am so sorry i cannot perform your surgery on Monday the 11th because my credentials did not go through but, i want you to know that i know you want this surgery so Dr. Gabriel will be doing it on Tuesday the 12th instead......" the thoughts running through my head were like i should have listened to my husband when he said you were full of crap but i didn't ....

i am actually glad that he is not performing my surgery, thank god!!!!
