First Fill

Oct 15, 2007

I am such a baby!  I am so scared of neddles.  But, this didn't hurt a bit.  They numbed it first and within like 2 seconds it was over.  Dr. S put in 3ccs, I don't know if this is normal or not.  Having no problem with water. So we wil see.  Hadn't gain any weight.  Lost 1 pound.  I was eating alot....  I go back in 1 month.  I am really going to have to work this plan.   I would love to be down to 200 pounds by christmas.  That will be 23 pounds to lose.  I think I can do that.

Moving.....

Sep 09, 2007

I am finally moving great.  I plan on going to the gym tomorrow..  Trying to get my life on track again.  Starting eating some mushies.  I had egg beaters last night and mashed potatoes today.  WOW!  I just don't want to gain weight after being on liquids for so long.  I get my first fill on Oct. 15.  The day before my 44 th birthday.  I guess that will be my gift to myself.  Everyone is good about what I have done.  My mother is still trying to push food on me.  Now, i say can't have it.   she doesn't like it, but tough.  This is my journey and my body.  I will win.

3 rd day post-op

Aug 31, 2007

I am home and doing ok.  Have alot of gas pains.  Walking alot and trying to drink as well. Went upstairs when i got home from the hospital. 
Today was the first day downstairs. Had a problem waking up in the hospital and slept alot until today.  Getting up is the hardest part for me.  I know it will be worth it, but right now not so much!!!  I will overcome this.. Oh and BIg News....... I told my mom today that I had surgery.  She was not happy about it and really doesn't understand why I had to do it.  But, finally said Well, it's your body but i wish you had told me.  I could have helped you.   I love her but, she just doesn't get it.  Food is her life.  You have no problem that food can't cure..... Oh and she is having a Crab feast this weekend.  I told her, she can have it without me.  Lord, give me strength.

Pre-op Diet

Aug 28, 2007

I forgot to add that I lost 10 pounds during the liquid pre-op diet.
How cool is that?  That's 10 pounds that won't be coming back!

I am on the loser's bench already.

I am now getting alittle nervous.  The IV worries me worst then anything.  If I can get past that I'll be good.  I have a different doctor now and went to meet him today.  He is great too.  I have seen him in the gym and talked to him.  So it's all good.  Dr. Sofronski is great too.  I wish Dr. Bovard all the best.
Ya'll  pray for me.

Liquid Diet

Aug 21, 2007

Okay, today is my last food day for awhile..  Tomorrow Aug 22 is the start of my liquid diet and the beginning of my journey.   I am excited and so ready.  I have been to the gym and support groups.  I know that I have all the information about this.  Good bye Weight Watchers, Diet Pills, and all the rest that was along the way.  I am ready for the dance to begin.

August 29th is the day!

August 29 th is my day!  I will be in bandland on that day!
Dr. Bovard is just a wonderful doctor.  I am so ready to have this done. 
I feel like I will be born again, again.....(sorry Lord)
Starting my pre-pre-op diet.  We have to do diet plans for him and submit on our pre-op meeting.  They have a gym in the office for the patients to use. So, I start there on Monday.  They really have a first class office.  Meeting rooms for support group and the gym as well as the doctor's office.  The very best thing is it is 2.5 miles from my house.   No excuses for not going.  None!

I have a appointment on Friday the 13 th with Dr. Bovard.  Hopefully it will be good luck and not bad.  My mom would say stay in the house on that day.  Oh those Irish roots!!! Can't wait to start my journey.  I have a new friend to talk to about this too.  Thank you God for Marcia!

Lurking for 6 years?

Jul 09, 2007

This was my original post on OH web site.  I can't believe it's been that long!
Hi!
37 year old mother of two. Really would like to have this surgery. But for some reason I'm really afraid I'm not going to make it. I've been overweight all my life with the excpetion of 4years when I did the Phen-fen thing. Lost 100lbs only to gain it
back in 1year and then some. Sound familiar???
Well, still looking at this option. For some reason it won't go away. Even when my family won't talk to me about it. I just keep thinking about it. Oh what to do!!
8/26/06 Went to a lap band conference today. Since RNY is not for me. Maybe lap band will be. I know there are complications with that too but, nothing compared to RNY. I am going for my first appointment on Monday. I hope my surgery date comes that fast.
