Getting Back to ME!
Jun 13, 2009
~ June 13, 2009
Well I am 13 days out now and I am finally feeling more like my self than I have in a while. This has been the most emotional rollercoster I have ever been through. Wow I am down 35lbs since surgury. Funny thing though I have felt really weird inside, I have not really felt a differnce inside me and honestly wondered if this was really gonna work for me; but humm after loosing so much so soon I guess it is. I will say that my mood is pickin up good; and I am so glad I am getting back to ME finally.

Home from the hospital

I must say this as an experience like no other. I am home and had a good surgery and things are moving along well. But i must say, having my cycle start the day I came home frome the hospital really sucks. As if I am not already very moody, that just adds to it. I am very sore and puffy but i know that all the swelling will go down soon. I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful support I have received on this site. It has been wonderful having such support. Well will keep up to date as i heal.

Wow! I finally got a DATE!

Well I was begining to wonder if I was ever gonna get a surgery date for ME! But it is finally here. I have a date of June 1, 2009. Yippee. I was hoping it would be sooner but due to the fact that my dr, has a broken shoulder I have to wait. LOL, But I do pray for a quick recovery for him. I have been working on loosing some weight but this will just give me a chance to get more off before surgery.
I never knew i would be this excited to have a date, I could just bust out of my skin. LOL. So now my time ticker is tickin.

Colonoscopy & Endoscopy!
Feb 05, 2009
~ February 6, 2009 ~
Well that was an experience. I will say the hardest part of that was the prep. I came through both procedures fine. Those drugs they gave me were great because I don't remember a thing. But I will say the Endoscopy tube must have been HUGE because my throat is killing me, I am finding it very hard to swallow and is difficult to talk.
I am just focusing on the prize at hand. This just puts me one more step closer to surgery. Now just awaiting my Nutritionist appointment. Then hopefully we are off to file insurance.

Prep for Colonoscopy!
Feb 04, 2009
~ February 4, 2009 ~
Wow, well today is my prep day for my Colonoscopy and Endoscopy. I can not have ANY FOOD of any kind. I am now waiting for the pills to take effect and I will be starting my powder drink in about an hour. I will say my tummy is cramping really bad and I hope and pray that this process will not be painful. However I know it is something I have to do.

I am focusing on the glimmer of light I see. After this procedure tomorrow all I have left is the Nutrision appointment on the 17th and then insurance to come back.

My Psych Evaluation
Jan 27, 2009
Well, today I had my psych evaluation and it went much better than I could have hoped. I was really nervous going into it. I had so many different thoughts like, are they gonna tell me now because I am just not right in the head and like some other people have told me "you can do it on your own." It was just terrifying. But I made it through and found out that my thoughts and fears are "NORMAL". 
Made me feel even better when he looked at me and said...... "You have been cleared for surgery" WOW, I am excited because it is really coming soon.
Tomorrow I go for my consult with the surgeon, only this time I am not just nervous but very very excited. Who knows I might have an estimated date. One can only hope.
Well check back with ya later.

Busy Week Ahead!
Jan 23, 2009

Let's start with next weekend. I am suppose to go on a 3 day retreat to Snowshoe, WV. After looking all over for some ski bibs or pants for me to wear I have come to realize that Fat people don't ski!! A really really humiliating moment came when I went to a local store that I heard rented them. I tried on the largest pair they carried which was a man's 4XL, and to my humiliation I could not get them on. As if that was not enough for me, I had a friend tell me that they were looking so forward to me getting out there and complaining the whole time because I would not be able to do the activities very well.
I mean I know she is probably right, but still hurts knowing my weight and inability to do some things, is giving pleasure to someone else.

Moving on to the exciting part. I have my Psychology appointment on Tuesday, Jan. 27 (yeah, only have to do 1 day) , and then off to my consult with the surgeon on Wednesday. I really hope that there is not much left to do in order for them to submit my insurance. So I am praying that I will have a surgery date real soon, and get this then moving faster. Hugs until next time.




Hurry!
