Almost to 200

Sep 03, 2009

To make a long story short, I'm down to a 3x, I weight 305 from 355, my boobs are smaller and I passed three kidney stones. Doing pretty well...

Two Week Posting

Jun 28, 2009

Where do I begin?

It's been a roller coaster back from surgery and thank goodness for Celexa! My husband has been more than attentive and he's also been absolutely horny as well. It's ironic that after my first week of being on liquids that "Aunt Flo" comes for a huge visit. I found it all very messy but happy because I haven't had a period in MONTHS.

Staying on the liquids has not been challenging for me and I finally figured out HOW to get my protein in in one day. Now it took a new blender at sixty bucks to help me with my challenge. So far, so good. Yes, I'm taking my required vitamins and my iron too along with my walking.

I can see the weight difference in my face but not the rest of my body. That's not true, I don't have fat ankles any longer. Daryl took a picture of me at my two week point and I don't see a difference yet in my stomach but he says that you can see my boobs than my stomach. He says my butt is smaller too (THANK YOU GOD). I am waiting for the go ahead from my doctor to start REALLY working out. My three week checkup could not come any sooner.

My grocery bill? Okay everyone, laugh. It's only 13 bucks. No kidding. I can't buy anything except chicken broth and I've already paid for my protein. Oh, that reminds me. Gotta make that protein run to the local GNC with my Gold Card to get that ISOPURE Green Tea Protein drink. OMG..that stuff is to DIE for...nom nom nom nom.

Has food tempted me? Yes..very much so. My poor husband is trying so hard to lose some weight himself but he just got from McDonald's today. LOLOLOLOLOL Yes, he's really trying.

Anyway, how do I feel? Pretty good. Trying not to focus on food too much and getting my liquids in. So far feeling good although this horrible bruise on my stomach from my surgery is bugging the shit out of me. It's still purple and yellow and every other nasty color under the sun. Should I call my surgeon about it? It doesn't hurt...huh.

Anyway, doing well. Hope you all are too who reads this. :D

One week post RNY

Jun 22, 2009

Last night, it seems that my friend had another temper tantrum. God I'm so fucking fed up with this crap and you know, I do the more Christian thing by turning the other cheek. Case in point:

The friend's husband hurt himself at home by falling and tearing ligaments in his leg. He's out of work until he is okayed to go back to work by the doctor. Understood, that my friend and her husband have saved some money for things like this and have pulled the money out to cover any expenses. She is afraid that her husband will need the surgery and that he'll be out of work more not bringing in the money. I listened and I asked if she could cut back on things until he can go back to work. For the third time, she berated and yelled at me, screaming, "I WILL NOT CUT OUT ANYTHING AND I'VE SACRIFICED ENOUGH!"

To be honest, I've listened to her many times and from what she has told me, she and her husband never argue. They don't always get along either and I've seen this. To be honest, she's been very overbearing on me lately with her demands and her pushings with her fan characters, which she has brought to the forefront and mary janed half to death. It's so many things wrong with this relationship that I can't..I can't breathe anymore. I'm afraid she's going to yell at me again and one week after my surgery, she couldn't give a shit about anyone but herself.

Maybe this is the third strike that I needed so that I can meet more normal people who I can relate to. My anger is real even though I'm on depression medication..all I want to do is yell at her and tell her to stop being a BULLY...fuck. My horoscope said that it's okay to go solo for a while and concentrate on the ones that care about you.

It's right.

Friday after Surgery

Jun 19, 2009

I had the surgery on Monday and, well, where do I begin? I cried in the anesthesiologist's arms asking myself, "Why did it  come to this?" I think everyone asks themselves this at one time or another eventually..my reality check hit just as they were sticking the needle in my arm. Why did it have to come to surgery? Tell me why? Because of many factors-my genes most of all..yes, something about my mindset of trying to be "normal" and skinny-fooling myself as usual. I was never the skinny one..I was the fat chick that hung around the beautiful people.

Anyway I could go on and on and on about my fat  issues until the cows come home but what good will that do? The first day after I woke up was NOT pleasant. I threw up blood not once but twice, first it was liquid the second was dried. Why am I not surprised? My doctor became very concerned and I couldn't keep down my liquids if drink at all. The nurses had to move my IV several times getting me poked and prodded and I eventually cried as it hurt. The nurses cried with me though and they were such a great staff. I have NEVER liked hospitals..never have.

So to make a long story short, I am at home on the third day and I couldn't run out of that place fast enough. It was nuts...but Hubby Man was thrilled to have me home. He didn't clean up the house perfectly but I really don't care. I'm home and that's what matters. I started walking yesterday and my mind seems so very clear. Sharp, even. My skin is getting softer and I can tell this just by Friday..

Just so you all would know in blog land, watch out for the anesthesia..that will kick you straight in the butt!!!! Hugs to my friends out there..

First Blog Entry

Jun 12, 2009

 It's the Friday night before my surgery which is on Monday. How do I feel? Ready as I'll ever be I suppose. I'm tired and exhausted and again whatever I'm eating for my last meal before my surgery is NOT staying down (mind you, I'm eating great). I bought my shakes, my flintstones vitamins, my measuring cup..you name it..I'm ready for this. 
I told my husband that I could chew sugar free gum and what were his words? BLECH! LOLOLOL
My coworkers are excited. I'm the first one in the operating room at 7:00 that morning and I should be in my room probably around 10 ish or so coming out of my stupor.

We'll see. Met some very lovely people today in my support group. I want to keep them..can I do that??
