A little update:

I am now 15 months out as of today! Yay go me! I am a size 10 in pants and L in shirts. I am a NURSE now! yes I have finished the dreadfulness that is nursing school and I am so happy to be done with that chapter of my life. I moved back to Louisiana and work at 2 hospitals out there( one full time and a prn) and I love it! The road has been a little bumpy surgery wise I developed an eating disorder as well as BDS which is in control thankfully. I had to get rid of my scale so there are no numbers until I go to the doc but last weigh in was at 218 in may and I am sure I have gone down since then. but all in all I am doing great and loving my new life! I have a plastics consult Sept 10 for new boobies and I cannot wait! Here is a little picture update: 

I can totally see the difference now and I love it!!! I have so much more confidence and I am truly loving the decision I made! I cannot believe that this past sunday I wore a size 12 dress!!!! a 12 i cannot remember that last time I ever did that! I am so happy!

  

Well month 2 i had a long stall. I wasn't upset because I knew it was going to happen. I just kept on trucking and it eventually broke. I have been getting nothing but compliments and I love it. My progress is amazing! I am in a size 14 (thanks to my narrow hips:) and even those are beginning to sag! This is the best decision I have ever made in my life! As far as my issues go my PCOS has definitely gotten better, my periods are like clockwork and my skin is clearing up..if only i can get rid of the hair!! Back to laser treatments! I am so glad to have my family support they really make this so much better! Oh I even had a NSV I can fit in the normal classroom seats I dont need the pull out chair!!!! i am no longer embarrassed if I come to class late and having to scramble to find my special seats! whoo hoo for normalcy:) Ok well till next month! I'll try to be on time with it..oh lastly my doc appt my doc gave me a goal of getting to 250 in three months! considering i have like a few lbs to i think i can beat his goal. My goal is to be 222(my 100lbs) before october! I'll keep you posted! Alrighty til next month!

 Made it through month 1!!! Whoo hoo down 43 and I am so excited that is just  7 little lbs til 50 half way to 100!!!! and in just 1 month ahhhhh!! Well i was going to do a weekly update but nursing school reared its ugly head again so i have been super busy with that. So I will do monthly's instead. I couldnt be more excited with my decision to do this surgery. I did have two sick episodes this past week I got some food stuck apparently and was vomiting like crazy but i am good now. Still working on getting all my water and protien in. Somedays i will do awesome on the protein and suck at water or I will do awesome on the water and suck at protein. I will get it right eventually. I have my one month appt on friday so hopefully I get a release to go to the gym all this weight loss has got me motivated...anywhoo let me get back to my piles of nursing homework:/ Til next month:) 

Week two was a breeze. I am getting my strength back slowly but surely. I started doing my miles slowly working up to getting 10 miles in one sitting but its so hot in houston I keep it at about 3 miles and try to add on to that. I had my 1st post op visit I am right on target a whopping 34lbs since the last time I weighed in at the dr's office.whoop whoop! next appt is at 1month post op I cannot wait to see what I will be at then!

Week 2:-8

Week one was hellacious, i mean really hellacious! I kept seeing people who had surgery the same date as me saying how great they felt, well I felt horrible. It wasn't so much the pain, i just couldnt breathe right and it hurt. I just wanted to sleep the whole time but I would get up and get really dizzy but I walked a lot. When I got home I had a really tough few days I almost thought I had to go back to the hospital but being the nursing student that I am remembered how important IS was and doing it often would help increase my lung capacity. So once I got the handle on that situation I felt so much better. I am so glad I am finally out of the 300s and will NEVER see them again:) I weighed in today at 294.4 from 312 wed morning after surgery!! whoop whoop 17lbs since surgery heck yes!! I am so happy. Anywho I felt well enough to get out the house and venture to stbucks to write this!

I am beyond excited to be writing my last pre-op post!!! Tomorrow I will be a LOSER!I praying for the most uneventful breezy surgery ever and a quick and speedy recovery,nursing school is coming around quick I cannot believe I am almost done with that as well! anywho its almost midnight which means I will be NPO til after the procedure. Wish Me LUCK!! See you guys on the losers bench!

I finally musterd up the strength to be honest with my self no cover ups, no angles, no under garment to pull everything together. There I stand all 314 lbs of me. The girl who is oh so confiident in herself is not so sure of that anymore. I guess i ignored the fact that it was so bad. If I feel like that about they way I look I wonder what others think. I dont know how I could ignor it but I did..barely being able to fit in school desks how could I forget..well This part of me is set to change on May 16th my rebirth and I cannot wait I am glad I get a second chance..and this time I am going to do it right...Cannot wait to say good bye to the old me

Im going to call the Dr's office tomorrow, they should have gotten my approval letter by tomorrow. I have decided to ask them for either May 13 or May 16th to be my new surgery date..I love the idea of having surgery between the 19-21 but that is too soon and i have not made arrangements for work and all that jazz., plus the 16th is the day after i make 6 months so I can ask for medical leave. I was thinking 3 weeks will be sufficeint i do heal up pretty nice and if I need to extend it I will. After I find out what the deal is I will call up metlife(coordinator of leaves) and find out how it works.I am super excited it is finally here! Monday also starts my liquid diet, my doc does not require one but I think it would be a good idea to do so I want to try to get back into the 200's before my surgery date.

I cannot believe it!!! I am so over the moon right now! MY SURGERY IS FINALLY HAPPENING!!! i could cry right now i am so happy!! I cant wait to get the letter in the mail! Wow im am at a loss for words! Well i called my dr's office but i forgot my dr's nurse only works monday-wed which sucks but whatev..so monday i should expect a call from her bright and early about pre-op stuff now more waiting til monday...yay..not but at least I know i am done with that hurdle!!
