I'VE TRIED A LOT OF DIETS THROUGHOUT MY LIFE AND NEVER HAVE BEEN SUCCESFUL. I like to listen to music, cook, watch scarey movies and take walks. I also have an English Bulldog named maggie.
Had my surgery July 11 the surgery went well. That night they made me walk around and I'll tell you what the most pain I had was from gas pains in my stomache from the laproscopic surgery.
Juy13 2005- Went home from hospital YEAH! I couldn't wait to go home. Still having some pain mostly gas though.
July 14, 2005-feeling much much better. Gas pains went away. Now just having some discomfort from JP tube. But other wise feeling good. Started full liquid diet. Doing pretty good getting in my protein. Not feeling hungry at all. I lost 7 pounds since my surgery.
July 18,2005-Today I had my appt. to get my jp tube out. Didn't really hurt to get it out. They said I could drive now if I feel I can. I met Dr. Geng for the first time and he is very very nice. They weighed me and so far I'm down 80 pounds since I started this whole thing back in December. I've lost 15 pounds since last Monday. YEAH!!! I'm having some pressure and pain on my side where my jp tube was though. I took some pain medicine and so far I think it's helping. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow. Then I can start taking some walks. :)
August 8,2005- Today I went for my one month post op visit and also to the nutritionist Teresa Runkle. I lost 30 pounds so far and they said i'm doing really good. I saw Dr. Beetle today. They said I can start the soft solid foods tomorrow. They said I can go back to work in two weeks unless I don't feel that I can. I'm getting all my vitamins and protein in everyday. The best thing I've found to puree is turkey chili it's delicious. I've been exercising almost every day. Today I walked two miles in 35 minutes. It was actually nice outside not so humid. Now I don't go back until January 11. I have to get labs done in December and i also have to go back to see Teresa in October.
September 11,2005- I'm now two months after surgery. I am now down 52 pounds in two months. YEAH!!!! THAT'S HOT! I now weigh 284 pounds with a total before and after surgery weight loss of 118 pounds! I really feel great. I exercise every day. Sometimes I walk sometimes I swim and I also use my gazelle and do exercise videos at home. My clothes are so big on me now. I bought a new bathing suit to go swimming yesterday at K-mart and it was a size 22! My old one was a 28. down six sizes already. I am so happy. Basically now I can eat anything. Last night I ate pizza for the first time yummy! I got in less then half a slice but it was soooooooo good.
July 11, 2006- One year post op and down to 178 lbs. Total lost in one year 222 pounds. The best thing I ever did.
November 2006- Down to 165 pounds. Finally I got pregnant. The main reason I had this surgery. I had a problem getting pregnant before. Now I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!! YEAH! On the first try.
