Well I went to the doctor today and they looked at my stomach and said that I am having really really bad stomach muscle spasms. No lie, every time I move it hurts. They told me to take tylenol and use warm compresses on my tummy. But on a good note, I lost another 9 pounds! YAY!! I now weigh 331. Man it feels good too. Well I havn't much else to say but I will update again soon.

Well it hasn't even been a week since I was at the hospital and now I have to go back again. I called them today and told them that I am in more pain than I have ever been in. They want me to come into the hospital tomorrow around 2:30. They think I might have a hernia. It hurts so bad that I have to have my husband help me get off the couch, the bed and everything else. I will update again tomorrow once I find out for sure what it is.

Well I had to go back to the hospital because I was having excrutiating pain in my stomach area. (the left side of my belly). I was really concerned so I went to the hospital and got to talk to one of my surgens and he said that I probably pulled the muscle that they had to cut through and actually pulled the internal stitch that is holding that muscle together. It hurts a lot. Especially now. They said if it dosn't start feeling better than I should come back. But I was weighed while I was there and I am weighing 339. Thats amazing to me. I dont remember that last time that I weighed less than 340.  I have lost a total of 39 pounds! I am super excited. I took a couple of pics and added them to my other pics. Well I am going to relax but will update again soon.

Well I couldn't believe it but when I went to the doctor today I had lost another 2 pounds. Overnight I lost weight. Thats just crazy. I have lost a total of 38 pounds in less than a month! I am super excited about it. I also started on soft proteins like deli style chicken and turkey. I am not really likeing it that much but only because I am not used to it, I think. Well gonna go now but I will update again soon.

Well it has been exactly one week since I was last weighed. I had to go back to the hospital today to get my staples removed and asked if they would weigh me again. They did and I have lost 9 more pounds, for a total of 36 pounds within a month. YAY!!! I am actually under 350, weighing in at 342! I would have never told anyone my weight before but I look at it in the respect that I will NEVER be this heavy again! Everyone is saying that they can tell but I don't see it, however I can tell in my clothes. I am wearing shirts that I havn't worn in years. It is weird! A good weird but still weird. I wont get weighed again until the 15th but that is good because I would get obsessed with it. I will update if I have anything else good.

Well it has been 11 days since my surgery and I have been through some crap. I have been to the ER once and then had to go back to the hospital again on Wednesday. They said that I was very dehydrated and they kept me over night. They gave me 6 Litres of fluid and a bunch of other stuff. I finally feel better today. I actually shaved my legs. LOL! I got dressed and my husband and I went to a kindergarden graduation. (I help homeschool my friends little boy)  Everyone there said that I looked like I have lost weight and when I tell them they are just so excited for me. I can't wait to see if I have lost more since the doctors. I go back Monday to get my staples removed and I am going to weigh myself then. Well I dont have much else to say right now but I'm sure I will later. Thanks for reading!  

Well so far I have lost 27 pounds. I am having a hard time getting in all my water though. I have to drink 70-80 oz of water and I think I am getting a little over half. If you have any suggestions on how I can flavor it up please let me know.
Saturday was my first visit to the ER. I was feeling lousy and it was hard to breath. They said after being there for like 8 hours that I was ok.
Although I am having trouble exercising because I end up loosing my breath. This sounds weird but I almost passed out in the shower. Only after like 10 min. But I am trying to deal with it as best as I can.
Amyways I will talk to you later.

Well they said my surgery went great. I really dont know what it's supposed to look like afterwards but it dosn't look bad. I will not lie, I am in pain. I didn't know that it would hurt like this but I think I did the right thing. I'm sure if you ask me in a couple months I will sound more reassuring on that topic. I have 7 incisions and 21 staples, which is kinda funny because my birthday is 7/21. It's funny to me anyways. I was only in the hospital for one night but felt it should have been longer, well maybe if I could have brought the bed home with me it would be different. Nobody warned me that I could only sleep on my back and maybe my right side a little. I usually sleep on my stomach so this is taking some getting used to. So for anyone out there who is having this done soon, start sleeping on your back now! I know I probably should have realized that it's stomach surgery and no you will not be able to sleep on it but that wasn't one of the things that came to mind when I was getting everything together.
Anyways, I have pictures if you want to see them. They aren't gorry or nasty or anything like that but they do show my incisions and staples. And also the bottom portion of my breasts, but they ar not exposed in any perverted way. I was just trying to give whoever a glimpse of what it looks like after surgery.
I will keep updating whenever I can. Thanks
