-15 lbs

Feeling good.  It really SUCKED at first...lots of pain, buyers remorse, WTF did I do? LOL  Now...I havent been thinking that way at all, thank god!  It was extremely hard to get liquids in at first, nevermind puree foods.  Now I am getting better with lquids...not so good with eating/puree.  Nothing has made me sick- but Im usually just not hungry!  Believe me- I know the diff between head hunger and real hunger and I had/have Alot of head hunger but there have been times where I have been actually physically hungry- feels empty...so I eat something...slowly...and it goes away and Im all better LOL  Not doing well getting my vitamins in....or meds.  I will try harder...  Down 15 lbs- not sure where bc my pants are still tight LOL Must be in the bubbies LOL  Thats all for now...

LapBand SUCKS- should have done the RNY in the first place!

RNY surgery set for Feb 18th!!  Cant wait!

Long time, no update.  Same old Same old.  I had 2 fills, 1 in Jan and 1 in Feb of 07 @ 1 CC a piece.  That puts 2 CC in a 4CC band.  Very difficult to eat.  I let the surgeon know that it was painful to eat and she basically told me to eat soft things.  Over the course of the year I became extremely depressed due to no weight loss and feeling as though I would be blamed for no weight loss.  SO I didnt go back.  I am thinking about a revision to RNY.  I feel like crap.  My stomach is constantly tender and I cant eat w/o pain.  That sucks.  Im sick and tired of it.  I made an appt with my surgeon for the 9th.  Im going in and im going to brave the storm, so to speak.  Im sure I will get blamed for this and I'll accept what she says and ask for her to revise me.  We will see how it goes!  I'll update then.  On another note I am SOOO happy that I got an avatar now!  I finally figured out how to resize pics when I googled shrinking pictures!

Got on the scale and I am down to 257.  Not sure when the last time I saw that is!  Nothing to report besides being very hungry.  Trying to drink alot.  Still taking pain meds at night, but feeling better during the day.  Still a little swollen.  Had my first "outing" today and went to walmart to get some things I needed, and damn, let me tell you....I need a LONG nap!!!!!  Im TIRED!!

Ok so I got on the scale and Im down 10 lbs.  I know alot of that is just the water weight and stuff, but its nice because I havent seen 261 in a longggggg time.  Today I am feeling OK.  My cough is still there and my throat feels swollen.  Yesterday morning I felt pretty good and I think I over did it, doing some stuff and not resting.  Trying to catch up on school work, and taking care of my 3 yr old with no help.  My mother in law was going to help me, but I foolishly told her I could handle it.  By 2, I was calling my husband crying b/c I needed pain meds and sleep.  So needless to say, today my mother in law will be coming over to care for my son while I rest a bit.  Yesterday I was also getting hungry!!  Can u believe it???  Trying to make it through liquids.....

OMG!  I just wrote a long thing and I got booted and it deleted!!  Long story short-  Im home...had to stay an extra day because of pain when swallowing-  like chest pain.  I am down 6 lbs even with all that fluid they pumped me with.  I posted to the boards about being miserable and so many responded and made me feel better!!  I am even a little better tongiht besides this freaking cough I have that is making my stomach hurt!!    Anyway, Maybe i will write more again about my surgery experience, but like I said I wrote it but it deleted!

Twas the night before.....   Well I am nervous, scared, I mean it IS still surgery and I have a freaking tickle in my throat like the start of a cold and a cough to boot!  Let's hope it still happens b/c I have everything in place for this.  I am very nervous about the liquid part of this diet....how can I do this?  I dont know!  It will be worth it if some weight drops off.  I have been eating my last suppers all weekend!  Chinese, Mcdonalds-  the crap that got me here in the first place!  Im hoping Im not too behind in my classes when I come home and that I only stay one night in the hospital!  I really want a speedy recovery!!!!  I will update when I feel up to it I guess.....here we go.....

Well I am CLEARED by the hematologist!!!  Just turns out I have really bad anemia, so Ive upped my iron, and hopefully that will take care of it!!  B-12 is low also, Im going to pick up some vitamins for this!  Surgery is MONDAY!!!  I really am looking forward to it!  Dont get me wrong I am nervous also-- but mostly excited!  I REALLY need to lose badly!!  I feel terrible 85% of the time!!  I will update more soon.  I also want to find out how to put pics on here....its kinda confusing!
