Just a litte about my I am 32 years old , remarried (3 months) , we have two children Charles is 3 and Anna is 2 . I am having WLS on the 28th of Feb. My highest wight is 434 , I have been heavy all my life ! My main two reasons for the WLS is my children and the need to have a "normal" life. I want to go to the movies , or should I say I want to fit into the seats.....
6 days before WLS:The start of a new life grows closer
Today is Feb. 22 2007 ,I had my last visit with the dietion before my WLS on Feb. 28th. I am starting to freak out a little and the fear has set in . I am now unsure of all I have been doing to get to this point . I wonder if WLS is really what I want ...I know it is something I must do if I want to be healthy and be able to live my life rather then just watching it go by like I am now! I am 434 lbs and its killing me slowly and I am missing out on my children growing up . SO many mixed feelings and fear of the unknowen .
Today is Feb. 25 2007 , It was pretty icy when I got up this morning ,made me glad I came home yesterday. I wish I would have had more time to spend with mom and everyone. But I didnt want to be on the roads in the ice storm. The visit with mom was good however it didnt make me feel any better about my WLS like I had hoped. The fear of something bad happening is still really strong and it still worries me a great deal . I am making myself crazy with the "what ifs". It seem to get worse after the surgeons office called and told me I need to have an IVC filter put in on Monday. These last few days are the worst ... The fight to get here was hard , not backing out is so much harder.. I feel like such a chicken(lol)
Well today is Monday and I had the IVC filter put it ! It wasnt all that bad but legs hurt now and I am really tired. I am still scare about the WLS. I have really came to the point I just wish it was over !
Today is March 1st ,I am one day out ..in alot of pain from the gas but other wise I am doing great..I have been up walkin around today.I passed the popscile test ..no leaks that we know of.... THANK GOD THAT PART IS OVER!!!!
March 6 2007 its been 7 days since my WLS and I had the jp drain removed today(so glad its gone). I have lost 19lbs some far...The pain is so worth it , being able to watch the numbers drop is GREAT.
March 12 2007 I am feeling SOOO much better. TAhe pain is all but a memory now and thing are getting back to normal. I stopped in for a wiegh in today I am down to 404.8 just a few more lbs till i am back under 400lbs . I cant wait.......
March 16 2007 ..eggs are a no no they give me way to much gas !! I am finally down under 400lbs ... I am down to 398.8
April 27 2007 its been a while since I wrote anything down so I thought I would take a min and make a note to myself and anyone else reading this ...I am now down to 371 but feel no different then I did at 434 , I just dont see where my body has changed ! But the scale is still moving and I guess that is all that mattes at this point ! Hopefully my mind will see the change at some point . As for eatting it has become alot easyer and things dont seem to be so bad now ..As long as I stick to my diet ... I have learned all I ever wanted to know about dumping...
