3 weeks out
Mar 11, 2010
Well I have survived the first three weeks and I have a lot of energy. I have lost 28 pounds and my clothes feel looser every day! I can officially say I am glad I did this. I visited my husband in Texas for the militay ball and we had so much fun. On a personal note not to be too forward sex is getting sexier ;) I love my life. My hubby suprised me with a beautiful Coach bag to celebrate my success so far.I think I am getting good liquids in and the protein I am trying with that as well as I can.

Hmmm this is getting much better
Feb 28, 2010
Yay!!! Today I feel like a regular human again! I am catching up on LOST and feeling a lot like my old self and watching the weight come right off of me. Today my momma came by and cooked several meals for my teens to freeze and reheat.And she cleaned my kitchen. Great mom award! The kids have honored my wishes to not have teens coming over all the time to visit them so all in all it's been peaceful and quiet today and my energy level is way up! I'm so thankful to God and family and friends for the love and comfort I have received. Lots of hope and optimism in my life right now and I am way excited!!!

Back safe and sound!
Feb 27, 2010
Well here I am safe and sound. The hospital experience was a mix of things for me. I don't remember anything much about surgery. Worst moment was the recovery room after teeth chattering and couldn't conjugate words to tell someone I was just sure I was dying because I felt so crappy. Everything got better when I got to my room and the beloved morphine. Dim memories of family and my hand being held. Every day got better. Decided to stay in the hospital for almost three days. The third day I learned the day nurse was indeed not being a natzi about the pain meds when the night nurse overindulged me and I woke up with what was the worst nausea pain I have ever encountered. I cried for the record like a little baby. But now here I am home and feeling better every day. My husband doted on me the whole time he was home from stuffed animals to welcome home shoes and fashion magazines. Next time I am mad at him I will have to remember his tenderness and give him a free pass!!! He flew back to TX tonight and I miss him so much. But everyone has been great and I am mending slowly but surely.So far 11 pounds down from the day of surgery and I can feel it! This is the beginning of an exciting life!!!!! Chow for now friends!

Feb 16, 2010
So I am so excited!!! I am approved for surgery and will have it on 2/23/2010. Today is the first day of my liquid diet! Yay...not ;) My husband is out visiting me from his miltary deployment in Texas and we are preparing for a military ball in early March plus our sons 18th birthday! Everything feels so crazy and exciting and at the same time in slow motion.I am finally just a tad scared about surgery! But mostly happy and excited! I will finally be able to shed this excess weight and be the best me I can be...lol...fine that sounds a bit cheesy but still. 
I hope everything will be ok.
