4 month update

Aug 31, 2011

Really, 4 months out already? It's actually about 4 and a half right now but time does fly. I have lost about 5 pounds thins month less than I had expected but anything is good news. My hubby had an appointment with our PCP and she told me I was doing great and his trip to the doc turned out to be a glowing report for me. Heeheehee. Cruise is coming up soon. I ordered a black leather jacket in a size XL. OMG I can't believe a size xl.

3 month update

Jul 13, 2011

I guess I am a slow loser. I am down to 227-230lbs the last couple of days. It seems after I lose a bit then I seem to stall for a week or so. At least it's coming off. I know I said last month I want to be in the 220's by the end of that month I think in reality it's going to be 10 lbs a month. I've been doing everything right. My cruise is back on. I've sorted out things with mom. My passport finally came and we go in next week to do the finalizing. My main goal is to lose another 40 lbs in the next 3 months so I'll be ready for my trip. I can't wait!

2 months out

Jun 08, 2011

Today was an ok day. As of this am I now weigh in at 239#. Yay! So much is going on this month I am super stressed. My cruise is in jeopardy because my mom is freaking out about me getting a job. She's worried if I get this job, that I don't even have an interview yet for, that I won't get the time off. So she suggested that I focus on the job and let my sister take my place.This will be my sister's 2nd cruise with my mom and my brother has 2 cruises as well. Me-none. Yes, I am jealous and mad at the same time. My mom just is so paranoid about things.
Anyway, I am happy with my labs. My diabetes is practically gone. I don't even take my meds for that any more. My cholesterol is way down, also. I hope to be in the 220's by the end of the month.

6 weeks out

May 25, 2011

Well...since week 3 I have been on a stubborn stall. The scale is NOT moving.It is stuck at 250lbs.:( What is up with that? I've been doing everything right and I guess by what I read on here just to keep trucking on and the scale will move. It's soooooooooooo frustrating. I did, however, go to Walfart yesterday and tried onsize 24 jeans and they fit! But, I didn't buy them. I went to the Goodwill and found some Lane Bryant capri's size 24. I have not been size 24 since a year out of highschool. Ugh!!! I hate stalls.
Things I hate now: bleu cheese, vanilla Eas shakes, and yogurt. Bleh! Oh and they should mention in the classes about the stalls and constipation. Will be having to do my 1 month labs late, next Friday , June 3rd.
Going to bed, super duper tired.

1 month surgiversary!

May 12, 2011

I am happy to report I am down 18lbs since I has wls. I was secretly wishing it was more, oh well. I have been on a freakin stall for a week. 249. The scale has been stuck there and being on my womanly this week doesn't help. Just waiting for this week to end. I am glad to start eating "normal" this week, yay!
I have noticed that my clothes are looser and that is a good thing. I cruised to the Goodwill just to see if they had anything cute still in the "plus" size and was pleasantly surprised they did. But I didn't buy anything yet.
Only 5 more months until my cruise!

2 weeks out

Apr 27, 2011

Today is 2 weeks out for me. Total lost is 12lbs. I feel pretty good about that. I just need to start exercising. I've been eating applesauce, refried beans, yogurt, and other things like that. I am starting to hate my protein drinks and might have to get the protein powder or the Isopures becaue the milkshakes shakes are just grossing me out. All my wounds are starting to scab over and last week the NP cleared me to start walking. Yay! Although I should have started last week, but as soon as I finish this-off for a walk I go.

1 more day!

Apr 11, 2011

Can't believe it! Today is going well. I'm getting all my laundry done because , God forbid my hubby touch that mountain of laundry. LOL! Liquid phase going well. Today is all clear liquids. I'm catching up with my friends and e-mails. Lots to do and here I am all giddy on OH. I have a cruise coming up in oct. and I want to lose a lot of weight before then especially so I can fit on the airplane. I was fortunate enough a couple of years ago that I was a on a non-crowded flight and didn't have to worry about other people if I was going to bother them or not. I'm so excited!!! Did I say that yet?

4 more days!

Apr 09, 2011

I went to San Joaquin Hospital to pre-register. I about died when I was shown my portion of the bill. It is $1900 but I was told I only have to pay the $1000 deductible and they will bill me the rest. That is a load off my mind. I had more blood drawn and was taught how to use a sprirometer, which is used to clear the lungs so we don't get pneumonia after surgery. I was also given a "secret code" so people can get info on me when they call and ask about my condition. I can wait! Although, not too happy about the no deodorant thing, no make-up or nail polish, lotion or perfume. Sigh* I can guess I can hang out in the hospital all-natural. Monday I start my all clear liquid diet and then Tuesday do the MOM thing. Yuck! I can already taste it. But hey! Only 4 more days!

14 day liquid diet

Apr 01, 2011

So far so good. I haven't died from hunger yet. At least I am not as hungry as I thought I would be. It's day 3 of this diet of a cheese stick, an egg, and 5-6 shakes. I am really getting excited but I think my brother gave me his cold. I feel that annoying itchy throat and clearing my throat. Go away cold! Why'd you have to come now! Grrr! And right before I got in for my lab work too. Today I am also calling the hospital to pre-register and all the financial business.

Got surgery date!

Mar 18, 2011

Whoo hoo! I saw my surgeon, Dr. Hormuz Irani, and I got my date set for April 13th! I am so thrilled! I am , however, not too thrilled about the 2 week liquid diet. But, I do get to eat string cheese and an egg each day so I guess it won'y be too bad. I'm doing my happy dance!!!
