I am a little over a month post-op and waiting to drop some inches.  I am down 35lbs so far but all my clothes still fit the same!!!  My size 20 pants are just now getting loose in my thigh area.  But I want real food!  I am so tired of turkey and sugar free shit!!!!!  everything has a nastey aftertaste.  At the moment, i am happy with my decision to have RNY.  And im finally over wanting fast food all the time.  Ive cheated a couple...okay...maybe like 10 times and tried a bite of chicken nugget, and pizza and......uhhh...oh, hamburger helper...which was amazingly good!  I did fine with everything though!  but i will post later...my son is on my lap about to push buttons!

Well today im a week out and feeling rather good.  A lot better than I was feeling.  I have lost a total of 20 lbs already...in a week.  Thats crazy!  Im craving food bad though...I want a whopper and a pepsi.  Im about back to normal activity.  Except I cant pick up my son who is almost 2.  Im not able to do my gross protein...im trying to find one i like.  But overall im doing pretty good....just hungry!

Where do I begin?  My surgery was scheduled for 1pm on tuesday the Feb. 27th.  I had to be there at 10am.  Well they got me back right away...they started my IV, took urine, and got me in my gown and I had to stay there and lay in the bed.  When they were done with that, by boyfriend was able to come back and wait with me.  We were in that room for about an hour.  We were watching The Price is Right.  The lady came and got us, wheeled us to the 2nd floor holding area.  It was a big room were beds could be lined up parallel.  I was the only one up there.  We sat around there for a while and 5 other patients came in.  We were in that room for like 2 hours.  I was so angry.  And it was so cold in there.  I had leg squeezers on my legs but they were the new kind that blew up like floaties...they werent blown up yet though.  Umm...they finally came and got me at 3:15pm(supposed to be at 1) I kissed my boyfriend goodbye and they wheeled me into the OR.  It was SOOOO cold in there and thats when I started getting nervous.  I saw all that equipment and lights.  I was awake in there a total of like 1 1/2 min.  I woke up in recovery, which Tommy, my BF told me I was in there for almost 2 hours.  My surgery ended at like 6:10pm and my family got to see me later.  I was in SOOOOOO MUCH F*ing PAIN.  It was unbelievable!  I got wheeled up to my room and they made me walk from my bed to the chair, where I stayed my entire hospital stay.  I cried the whole time I was in the hospital, while the other patients were up walking and coughing all by themselves.  I was thinking "why me"? Oh it was so bad.  Well, I got home and things were a little better.  I took my pain meds reguraly and kept walking. 

Well, I have my string of appointments tomorrow.  My EKG, chest X-ray, labs, ect (which my dr.s office was so nice to do for me!).  I have about a month to go until surgery and im already nervous!!!! Its crazy! I just know ill be so much happier.  Ill write again tomorrow after I get back from all my stuff!
