A Revelation!
May 08, 2010
I have NEVER not just shoved food in my mouth just because I wanted to! (Yeah, I even had to re-read that awful double negative sentence!) It's awesome to not feel hungry and to feel in control over what I put in my mouth! Even if it is just a protein drink! I feel like I want to nurish and treasure my body instead of grab the first sugar laden item that crossed my path! I hope this continues......

Grumbling, bumbling and things that go "ouch" in the night!
May 07, 2010
I had RNY surgery this past Tuesday, May 4th. Of course, I was a little scared of the unknown, but other than that I was fairly calm. The night after surgery was a little scary for my nurses I guess as they had a difficult time maintaining my oxygen levels! I felt anxious because I did have difficulty breathing, but the staff got it back under control!
I am so blessed that I didn't have the painful "gas" experiences that a lot of people have. Oh, my stomach is grumbling and bumbling but I'm not in pain at all. The gas just releases naturally and there's hardly any smell.
I am sleeping sitting up, which is uncomfortable. I'll be glad when this passes! I long for my comfy bed!!
I pray moment by moment and I know my God is with me! Blessings to everyone!

Surgery Morn....
May 03, 2010
It's 4:30am and I've been awake for about 1/2 an hour. I'm too nervous to sleep. I changed my my mind this week-end and decided I wanted the sleeve, only to find out my insurance, BCBS of MN, won't pay for it!!!! It seems less risky and less costly to me, but I can't afford to pay for the whole thing! Guess this insurance issue will only worsen with Obama-care!
Surgery is at 10:45am, I am to be to the hospital at 8:45am. Nervous and anxious!

The adventure begins....

I knew I had been fat for 5 years; prior to that, I was just a little "fluffy!" I had my forth child 6 years ago and I just couldn't get the weight off that creeped upon me over this period. I met a friend last September who was one year out from RNY. She looked great, felt great and had no complications at all from RNY. This got me thinking.....
I began my journey in November of 2009 by attending a weight loss information class given by the surgeon my primary physician recommended. I received a rejection from BCBS of MN in March and appealed it myself. I am now scheduled for surgery on May 4th, 2010!
