well its 1 week today and i feel kinda normal.  I have had about two mental breakdowns (not really just getting used to not eating real food), the first one was when my brother was cooking breakfast and he made is plate and i just lost it. i started day dreaming about making my plate with eggs and cheese, turkey ham, potatoes. the i looked down and i had a 1/2 cup of cream of chicken, ahhhhhhhhhhh!! but i got over it in about 2 mins and ate my lovely soup and got full and it was guilt free.The second time was on thanksgiving and i saw the stuffing and the turkey leg, but again only took a few min and i was over it.  I told myself that i had the surgery for a reason and that kind of food was the reason i had this major surgery. I am sooo excited to see a change i have already lost about 12 pounds~!!  
Holyneess to YAH!!

I have had my surgery and everything went perfect. the first night i was in pain about a 6 if you asked from 1-10. I can't complain about anything except my nurses that where there overnight were very rude and lazy.  Besides them, all is  great and i am at home resting a little. already day 3 and i am up cleaning and other stuff cause no one is here to help me.  be back soon!!

ok on a liquid diet that started on monday the 11-10-08, the first day was really bad I couldn't drink the stuff. all i had was water to mix it with. that was totally my fault i just wasn't prepared to make the shakes and add fruit or sugar free stuff that they suggested. The good thing is that I get to eat a small meal at dinner time. I work in a call center and there is JUNK FOOD EVERYWHERE!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....................
I have been really good but I did eat a small butterfinger at a week moment. All by habbit,  but now its day three and i am doing great. I asked my jobs resturant people to make my shake with ice nonfat milk and sugerfree flavor- there not to bad now.
I am counting the days down but not rushing cause i have some personal things to get together b4 I have it.
Well ttys

This has been a long ass journey for me. Over a year just for the appts and approval from my insurance. I believe patience is a virtue. I am now less than 24 days away!!! whooohoooo!!!!!  I'm ready for this change, i have had negative feed back and positive. I took what i could from both and spit out the rest.
I have been looking for liquid vitamins. any suggestions let me know!

So I can't take any aspirin ibuprofen or and blood thinning type meds 5 day prior to the surgery date. I m on a liquid diet for 14 day prior and I get a small meal for dinner. so happy for that!  This is all so exciting, gotta go will let you know how the liquid diet works out!! Later

WELL, GOOD NEWS!  FOUND OUT LAST THURSDAY I WAS APPROVED FOR THE SURGERY. ITS NOT AS SOON AS I WOULD LIKE BUT PROBABLY FOR THE GOOD. IT GIVES ME TIME TO FIX A FEW THINGS IN MY LIFE AND PREPARE THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE FOR THE CHANGE THATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME.

NOVEMBER 25, 2008
 
THATS MY SURGERY DATE. I HAVE THE PREAPPOINTMENTS ON OCT 29TH AND I AM NERVOUS AND REALLY EXCITED FOR THE NEW LIFE I WILL BE LIVING.

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU ABOUT TO GET THE SURGERY AND THE ONES WHO HAVE HAD IT, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. HAVE THE PEOPLE WHO SAY THE LOVE YOU AND WANT GOOD THINGS FOR YOU, BEEN THE MOST NEGATIVE ABOUT THE SURGERY? THAT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE WITH TELLING THE PEOPLE I LOVE THAT THATS WHAT I WANT TO DO. WELL MAYBE NOT EVERYONE BUT BESTFRIENDS AND FRIENDS FIRST WORDS SHOULDN'T BE "IHOPE YOU SHRINK UP AND LOOK LIKE A BOBBLE HEAD, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN YOU LOOSE YOU TITIES?"  CRAZY HUH! BUT THATS A HATER FOR YA. SCARED TO DO IT THEMSELVES SO TRY TO MAKE YOU SCARED LIKE THEM. MYSERY (SP) LOVES COMPANY RIGHT?

F&@K THEM!, AND FEED THEM CATFISH! IT MY CHOICE AND I SHOULD HAVE PEOPLE HOPING AND PRAYING THAT I BECOME HEALTHIER AND LIFE A FULLER LIFE.

REPLY BACK AND LET ME KNOW HOW PEOPLE ARE HANDLING OTHER OPNIONS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES, I'D LOVE TO KNOW

TATA TILL LATER, PRAY ALL IS WELL FOR THOSE HEALING AND LOOKING FOR AN ANGLE TOO! I'M A KOOL PERSON. HIT ME UP WHEN READY!!

Soooo....i called aetna and they said that they revieved my packet to request approval for the wls on 8-2. They have now forwarded it to the department that will approve me and it will be done in less than 10 days!!

I'm a little worried because i'm having a hard time quitting smoking. i tried to CHANTRIX or what ever its called and it makes my stomach hurt really bad and i had really bad dreams about my kids dying. It says it casues insomina and stuff ,not so much fun. I guess i'll try cold turkey again! how did anyone else do with this???"  Help please!!

hope all is well with all!!
