Pre op testing :}

Jul 01, 2009

So this morning...exactly one week before surgery, i went to the hospital and they all were so very nice.  Answered a million questions and the nurse said she thinks i'm in great shape and i don't have much to worry about.  GREAT! 

then i went to get some blood draw...6 viles to be exact!  My Husband said my blood ran slow.  I figured that was a good thing because of bleeding...i don't want a blood transfusion...Then the nurse says yeah that's true but...then you became more likely to get blood clots if your blood runs slow...make sure you watch out for that!!!!! 

WOW SERIOUSLY!!!!!  Bogus  thanks for scarying the shit out of me...anyways then i went for chest X rays and i was done!!!!

Later on we went bowling  which is always fun but....i couldn't drink :{ and i couldn't order anything to eat!!!!!  WOW that was really hard.  The only thing keeping me from cheating is knowing that my surgery is soooo close and i don't want to wait any longer...

the good thing is i've been on medifast for one week and i have lost 4lbs!!!!  VERY COOL!!!!

TODAY....the four of us as a family went to the thrift store(which i have never in my life been in one) and bought two bikes for the both of us to ride with our kids......

Approval!

May 30, 2009

So during this whole month i have really been struggling with the decision i made to have RNY.  I think because it's all becoming real and now i'm just waiting to hear back from the insurance since May 8th.  Well on thursday the 28th  the doctor called and said they got a verbal approval and they are just waiting for the written to schedule my surgery.  WOW!!!!

Here's the funny thing...

during my trip to colorado i started smoking again cause i didn't think i was gonna do it anymore.  When i came back, i started school and decided even if i didn't have the surgery i really did need to quit so i got chantix from my doctor.  It's been two weeks since i've smoked and i already stopped the pills.  they made me really sick!  Like Pepto commercial...nausea, vomiting diaherra...  I had all that and still went to two classes and threw up before each of them it was crazy!!!!  After that i knew i could have the strength to handle the side effects of RNY. 

I have goals!!!!!  I really hope to meet.... 

1) Graduate with my B.A. May 2010

2) Lose 100 lbs by May 2010

3) Get accepted into Notre Dame for my MBA  or another great college somewhere else in this country

4) love my family and love life!!!!

5) take a vacation with my mom stepdad and two teenager sisters  with my husband and two kids. summer 2010


I have a million other ones too but these are most important to me right now!

this is tough!!!!

Jan 10, 2009

1-10-09

OK so.... besides my kids and my husband their are two things i love in life....

pizza and cigarettes!!!!!!!!!!!   lol   wow that sounds so bad after i read what i typed but it's true... 

I quit smoking a week ago and yesterday was my first day back at work from vacation.  Working as a manager at Pizza Hut is something that i love to hate.  On my way there last night just thinking about the stress i would endure made me want to smoke...but i didn't.  I brought a subway sandwich with so i wouldn't eat pizza (which is something i always do)  We weren't that busy  so i wanted some pizza and i wanted to smoke with all my employees( 98% ppl at Pizza hut Nationally smoke) 

So i didn't smoke or eat any pizza which was so very hard for me especially since i didn't have much else to do.


YAY!!!!!!  This is huge!!!!  I can really do it!!!!!  I'm ready now i just got to stick with eating healthy and working out 4x a week

We'll see how the rest of January goes i go back to school and my other job on monday.

 
so I will have to find other ways to deal with the stress and the chaos of my life come monday...
 
 Oh FYI....i haven't been drinkin' any ice tea because they say you can't after surgery and no gum either....i found these sugar free Ice breakers that taste like fresh brewed ice tea...no joke!!!!   Fab substitute for tea or gum and helps get me thru the smoking

Taking the easy road...

Jan 07, 2009

I am sooo tired of ppl telling me i'm taking the easy road...why can't they just be supportive????  i am a producer at my school and everyone knows i'm doing good eating healthy and working out... then this bitch orders pizza for all of us instead us going out for our meeting like we usually do!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR   i swear ppl want to judge judge judge then when you make a choice to change they don't want to do anything to make it just a little easier for you!!!!!!!   oh well, i just worked out a litttle longer after i had one piece of pizza which was soo hard seeing that it's my fav in the whole world!!!!!

my dad say just don't eat as much and walk more you don't need the surgery. WOW
