wow i suck!

Jun 26, 2009

Sorry I haven't been on here in almost 2 years.

So much has happened. My husband and I bought our first home in Bay Point, CA in October 2008 after having found out that I was pregnant! I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on May 16,2009. Her name is Reina Elizabeth! She weighed 8lbs 12oz., 21 inches long. I ended up with pre-eclampsia and had to be induced (8 days after my due date)! I'm doing pretty well. Now I just need to work on losing the little extra weight that I gained during my pregnancy. I hope it isn't too hard!

Hi...

It's weird. Since surgery I really haven't had any desire to talk to my friends... Anyone feel like this?

Hello Everyone!

Surgery!

Jun 28, 2007

I had gastric bypass surgery yesterday at Kaiser in Richmond, CA. I'm feeling pretty good. I'm a little sore and my back hurts (i have arthritis so laying on my back didn't do me too good!) 
Anyway, I just wanted to check in and let you all know how I'm doing. 

Thanks everyone for your kindness and support.

Surgery is tomorrow!

Jun 26, 2007

I can't believe I'm going in tomorrow to finally make the change I've needed for so long in my life. I am so excited that this is finally happening. I've been so lucky to have such a supportive family/husband. They've been wonderful to me throughout this process. I've also had a very supportive employer who I appreciate his understanding of what I'm going through. I thought I would be more nervous about tomorrow, but I'm not. I just feel ready. I also am happy that I found this website so I have a place to do some research and to find support from my peers. Anyway, I better get back to work! I have a lot to do before I check into the hospital in the morning...

wow only 9 days to go until surgery...

Jun 18, 2007



i can't believe it. ONLY 9 DAYS TO GO! I am so excited I can't stand it. I wish I could go in tomorrow because the waiting is killing me. I was a little bit bad this weekend, so I'm paying for it this week. I am going to have to be strong and stick to the plan. I gained 1 pound. I know that's not much, but I'm freaking out. Plus it's almost that time of the month, so I'm sure I'll be bloated soon and weighing heavier than normal.

Anyway... that's about it. No one ever responds to my blogs... Well hardly ever anyway....

What's everyone else going through right now???

vitamins

I found a better tasting calcium pill. It's the twin lab wafers in a citrus flavor.

I'm so excited... Less than 2 weeks to go...

Bariatric Advantage

Jun 07, 2007

Hi! Has anyone on here tried the Bariatric Advantage vitamins? The mint flavored calcium citrate lozenges are very chalky and make me gag! Any suggestions for something other than those? If they're making me gag now, I think it will be worse after surgery!
