Almost there!
Oct 09, 2008
I have lost 99 lbs in 5 months ( today is the 5th anniversary). According to Dr. W. He wants me to stop at 170 as my goal. I want maybe 160? I am at 172 today. I go back to see him on the 27th of this month and hopefully he is going to submit for my TT to my insurance. I need to have it and be recovered by January, which is when I start back to nursing school.
So, last night I got sick. This was the first time I have ever thrown up since my surgery. I have been lucky and not had any problems. Until yesterday. I ate some chinese honey chicken. I have had it before, but I ate it really fast because I was in a hurry and I didn't chew good enough. BIG MISTAKE!!! I hurt really bad for hours and then I finally threw up. Boy, I felt much better after that!!! lol
My PCP did blood work and all my levels were good except my iron. They told me to take iron pills, but uh uh. Been there, done that. Not goin back! I would rather be anemic than deal with constipation. oh well. I also had a kidney infection and am having pain on my left back. PCP said he was gonna do a CT and check for stones. He said they are common in bariatric patients. I hope I don't.
Well, that is all for now. Hopefully I won't wait so long before the next update!!
Later!

Day 5...
Apr 29, 2008
anyway, I wasn't really supposed to start the diet until tomorrow, but I wanted a head start on it, cause I had to lose 10lbs. before my surgery. Which by the way is in 10 days!!!!! But, I went right back on the diet today. So, I was driving by my regular Dr. office today and decided to stop in and weigh myself. They wouldn't let me do it, they wanted to do it for me. lol I lost 8lbs since friday and this is tuesday??!!! WOW, I was amazed. Anyway, that is my update for today!!
Later~~~
Day 2 of the protein diet...
Apr 26, 2008
, and I feel yucky. I really hope that this passes really quick and I start feeling better and getting used to less food.I am trying to take this one day at a time and each day I make it through, brings me one day closer to my WLS and a new me. GOD HELP ME PLEASE!!
The real countdown begins....
Apr 24, 2008
Well, tomorrow I start my protein diet. It hasn't really sunk in yet that in 2 weeks I will be having my surgery..WOW.. where does the time go?
My husband is finally home from Iraq. Well, he is in the states now. He will be in MS till May 17th. Just in time for me to be home from Mineral Wells and be recovering at home. I haven't seen him since Jan. 2, when he went back after his leave. I am sooo excited to see him, though I wish he could be here for my surgery.
I am also winding down the semester at school. Boy, it is rough. Nursing school is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life!!! (including sending my DH off to Iraq). Now that is hard!! I am looking forward to May5th which is my last final. Then I get 2 months off!!! WHoo Hoo!
I will update more as the day gets closer and I get more nervous.lol
