4 weeks post op

Aug 16, 2011

OK I am doing good!!  i feel great and I am starting to really tell a difference in clothes.  All together I have lost 33 lbs starting June 2011.  Since surgery on July 19Th I've lost18.6 lbs which i think is great! that's more than 4 lbs a week.  I start school on the 29Th of this month and I am very excited and nervous.  But i cant wait to be a nurse!  My daughter will be starting daycare soon, and I'm still not happy about that but i guess she has too.   My brother left to go back to china yesterday. Hope he makes it there OK.  Gonna miss him and Rong :) she was great (bros gf)  well that's about all that's going on here.  I'll post again in 3 days on my official 1 month! till then!

first post op appt

Aug 11, 2011

ok so went to my first post op appointment today.  It was real simple and short lol went in checked weight and BP and that was it. I go back on the 6th to see dietitian.  also this morning i popped a stitch. i was laying in bed, reached over to turn off alarm and POP. its a little sore but not bad they just said to watch out for a fever or redness. I should be ok. Just worries me because last time i had that happen i ended up with a wound vac for 3 months. oh well. also they told me i have lost 20% of my excess weight

1 week post op

Jul 26, 2011

OK so today (almost yesterday) is my 1 week post op. as of today i have lost 10 lbs since i left the hospital!! which is great!!! even tho i wasn't going to get on the scale i broke and did, and when i got up today and only lost a pound i felt bummed... even tho i know its great so i will try my hardest to wait until Tuesday to get on again!!!!

I am feeling pretty good! not much soreness at all, haven't used any pain meds since i left hosp.  I am having problems with the vitamin. they make me throw up! I went to doc today and got their vitamin pills they said to cut in to 3rds so i did and it got stuck!! i felt like poop most of the day. i tried crushing the rest and drinking it and that made me feel even worse.. i don't get it! I'm going to try to find some liquid vitamins or something but i am running out of $$$$$ lol $ 30 a pop and these aren't working and the doc I'm sure doesn't do refunds lol.

well I hope everyone else who had surgery is doing well! I am feeling good, losing weight and that is such a blessing for me! I have never lost more than 30 LBS at one time so I am at 24!! (counting pre op)I am ready to  get it going!!!!

pre op diet day 25

Jul 17, 2011

OK so total for to day is 14.8 lbs lost.  I had a "last meal" on Wednesday and have been paying for it on the scale for sure. it sucks too because I would think that a calorie intake of like 700 or less would be showing more. o well  I'll take it!  I have one more day and a wake up until surgery.  and i am still nervous but very ready to get it over with so i can stop worrying about it.  I hope everything goes OK.  first person i want to see is my little girl when i wake up.  well that's all i have for today!

Pre op diet day 16

Jul 08, 2011

OK so yesterday i started using my doctors products for my 2 week pre op diet he wants me doing. I've lost 1 pound since yesterday and that's a total of 11 lbs so far..

I am basically on a liquid diet.  I am allowed to have protein bars and "oatmeal" which is just a powder that tastes like it lol the shakes/pudding that i have tried so far.. not my thing lol but I'm doing it.  I had a total of 480 cals yesterday. I've had about 350 so far today. I'm up because I used milk with my stuff instead of water to see if it would taste any better... the answer was NO lol lord have mercy those shakes are butt nasty! lol o well.

I have 11 days till surgery, YAY!!
