30 pounds gone

Jan 04, 2007

Jan 4, 2007.  I've lost 30 pounds so far.  It's amazing how the weight just rolls off.  I do get a bit concerned because I'm really not hungry at all.  If I see something on tv that is appealing then I'll get the hungries but just eating the pureed food doesn't do it for me.  Nothing appeals to me.  I'll keep trying. 


feeling better

Dec 30, 2006

Dec 30, 2006.  Almost 2 weeks post op.  Thankfully I'm feeling much better.  The laprascope incisions are a bit sore but liveable.  Saw the doc 2 days ago and all is well.  I can start the pureed foods which is a blessing.   I also started the calcium and vitamins.  I came off a lot of meds but seem to have had them replaced with others.  I have to take Actonal which is to prevent gallstones.  I'm taking a liquid vitamin and a chewable calcium.  I am continuing my Paxil and my Labetalol which is for high blood pressure and a fast heartbeat.  I am so grateful that things went well for me.  In the beginning I was  doubtful because I was really suffering from the gas pains.  I couldn't walk that much so the gas remained.  That's gone for the most part too.
We are at our weekend home and are expecting lots of company for New Year's Eve.  I told my husband fine but him and his friends will have to do all the cooking and cleaning.   He's good with that and so am I.  Haha. 

22 pounds lost

Dec 26, 2006

It is Dec 27, 2006, 10 days post op.  I lost 22 pounds and am shocked to say the least.  I guess with nothing but liquids that's what happens.   I am finally feeling better.  I can lay on my side to sleep and the drainage is minimal.  Tomorrow I see the surgeon for my first check up.  I hope he puts me on pureed foods.  The liquid diet is getting boring.  Will be back soon

Merry Christmas!!

Well, today is 1 week post surgey.  this is the first I've been online.  I'm finally starting to feel better.  I wasn't the best patient and didn't walk as I should have so the gas from the anesthesiology remained and gave me pains.
Would I do it again?  Ask me in a month or so.  Right now I'm still on clear liquids.  It's hard to get the water in.  The protein drink isn't that bad and that's the most important thing right now.  Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes and prayers. 

Almost time for the surgery

Dec 17, 2006

Well, the day is here.  It is Dec 18, 2006, Monday.  I've been up since 2:30 this morning.  Can't sleep.  Very nervous.  I have so many wonderful people praying for me and thinking of me.  I am so grateful tor that.   My surgery is at 8:00 this morning.   I will write back when I feel up to it. 

Tomorrow's the day

Dec 16, 2006

Well, it's almost here.  Tomorrow morning at 8:00 will be the start of me being a big loser!!  I am nervous but determined.   After having to cancel once I am forever thinking I'm getting a sore throat.  Mind over matter I guess.  You can talk yourself into anything if you try hard enough.  
I know God will be with me always and he will have his arms around my shoulder guiding me every step of the way.  I thank Him every day for his blessings and will always turn to him for everything.

3 more days

Dec 15, 2006

Well, here I sit, getting nervous and anxious.  I have 3 more days to go bedore I become a big loser.  Looking forward to it but an a bit scared.  I guess it's scared of the unknown.  Everyone on this site has been so helpful and comforting with regard to the surgery and I thank you all.  It's great to know you're all there and we're all here for each other.  

Another cold????

Dec 11, 2006

Dec 11. Monday.  I have been feeling better and then tonight my throat feels as if it might be getting sore again.  I also think I'm coughing more.  Maybe it's my imagination.  I really want to get the surgery over with so I can relax and not worry about getting sick.  I'm constantly thinking I'm getting a sore throat etc.   The surgery is suppose to be Dec 18, one week from today.  I hope I make it.

What a cold!!

Well, today was suppose to be my WLS.  Unfortunately, I got a cold and had to postpone it until Dec. 18.  My husband and I have both been sick this past weekend.  I've been on an antibiotic because my white count was up.  Tomorrow I go to the doctor for another blood test to check for normalcy.  Feeling better but still coughing. 

bad news

Dec 01, 2006

Dec 2.  Well my surgery was postponed until Dec 18.  My Pre Admission test showed my white count a bit elevated and sure enough I have a nasty cold.  I am on an antibiotic and hopefully that will knock out whatever I have.   I am disappointed but it can't be helped.  Better to be safe than sorry.
