Just an update

Sep 10, 2007

Where do I start??  I feel wonderful.  I went to curves today and I weighed in.  I am down 47 pounds from before surgery on their scale.  Whoo Hoo.  I am happy.  I still have had no problems eating, just sometimes a little low on the protien, but I'm working on that one.  

I cleaned out some of the clothes in my closet.  Phase I.  I was at a 24/26 before surgery and before school this year I purchased two size 18's and a 20 --I'll take it.  

One little funny moment from my daughter.  She is 6 and says what's on her mind.  She says to me the other morning, "Mommy, when is your surgery going to start working, you don't look any different?"  My husband and I started cracking up.  Then, that evening, or a few later, she walks over to my husband and pats his tummy (which is sticking out as he sat in the recliner) and says, "So, how's it goin'?  You havin' a boy or a girl?"  I almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard.  --See after that I had to clean my closet out.  I needed to have my own wow moment.  I am so blessed.  God sure has given me a wonderful opportunity. -and wonderfully funny children.  

I will try to update after my "offical" dr. appt.  I must say that I think I like the scale at Curves better.  It seems to be lower than my Dr.'s.  We will see.  The important part is that I already feel 100% better and I have more energy.  I can't wait until I lose about 50 more to see how I feel.  I like being the one to lead our family walks instead of the one always falling behind!!!

I forgot to update.  Oops, I have lost 13 pounds as of 7/11 since surgery, which brings me down to 261.5.  I'm happy.  I still feel great!!  I am eating soft foods and enjoying them.  I still don't get hungry, but I know I need to eat and drink my protien.  I am very blessed that God has given me this opportunity and tool.  He is awesome!!

I will update again soon, I don't have a scale, so I am not sure how to handle that one. My next follow up is not until the end of Sept.  I guess I can weigh at Curves once I start going again(after I heal a bit more) and at school once it starts.    I don't want to obsess about the poundage, I want to feel better.  I am feeling better, even losing a little weight.  I feel good mentally and phsically.  Walking is great and my feet aren't killing me know, we will have to see how that goes once school starts.

Well, still doing good.  I go tomorrow for my 2.5 week checkup.  I hope to get on soft foods then.  17 days out and I already feel so much better.  I am walking 2x a day for 30 minutes each time.  The liquids have gotten old, however, I know that it is so important to stick with it so that my insides can heal.  I will update after my appointment.

Surgery is almost here!!

Well, it is Sat. and I just finished doing my registration at the hospital and my blood work for surgery.  I am to report to the hospital at 8:00-surgery is at 10:00, or thereabouts.  They have moved it up, it was at 2:30.  I am so excited and a bit nervous, it is major surgery.  I have my clear liquid diet tomorrow and then fasting after that.  I am soooo ready.  I have been reading and reading on OH and looking at all of the pictures and I want to say a HUGE thank you to all that have posted and continue to post.  Having personal experiences to read about sure helps.  I will hopefully be one of those that will be able to share my story throughout my journey.  Please keep me in your prayers this weekend.  I thank God for giving me this opportunity!
