Hunter is Here.
Oct 11, 2011
Had Hunter Oct 4th, 2011. He was 6lb 3oz 18 1/2in.
I went in for an NST on the 3rd and Hunter fail his kick tests. So they admitted me for observation. And they decided to do my c-section the next morning. He was born at 7:57 am.
I needed two iron transfusions and a blood transfusion. I remained in the hospital until the 9th. Hunter was fine and ready to go on the second day. I now need weekly labs for my iron. I knew my iron was low but not deadly low. My hct/hemoglobin was extremely low as well. I may need another transfusion. I will know in a few days.
I have been in bed since I have gotten home. I am happy that I actually can breastfeed. I was unable with my first. I am super tired and healing well. My 3 year old, Ryder, is very lovable to the baby. He kisses and had held him gently. It's very sweet.

Got my c-section scheduled. I am so happy.
Oct 12, 2011. It's also my mothers birthday. What a cool birthday present for her. She is so excited.
Pregnancy is going well. I still am losing though out. I am down to 194 as of today.
I just hope I stabilize after the baby. My goal weight is only 34 lbs off. I already look so thin. I don't really want to go past 160 lbs.
More bed rest, so I will say goodnight.

Haven't updated in a while. Been focused on this baby.
I sure don't feel like I fail. I still lost 30lbs being pregnant. I have less than 8 weeks until my son is here. My 3 year old is very excited about it.
My labs are fab. I sure don't follow the rules. I drink water while eating. not a lot, but enough to help wash it down.
I am proud of myself. I have gone from size 26 to 9/10.
Something to smile about.

I have been very quite lately. I am trying to understand my body as it is now. I change daily. One day I can eat and be fine. Next day, I am puking my life force out and I am back in the hospital.
This has been the craziest pregnancy. Finally hit second trimester. SO hopefully, we will stop this morning sickness and I can feel like me again.
On a positive note, in two weeks We get to find out the sex of our child. I am still trying to get used to this surgery and now the fact that I am pregnant, honestly has not sunk in. I am waiting for the fun stuff. My first was so easy and no issues at all. Add this GB surgery to it..... wow, I have mixed thoughts.
SO, I am trying to focus on the positive and spending quality time with my son before this child is here. My boy is clingy and I love that. I don't want it to change at all.
I keep losing weight as well. Doctors is concerned and I am as well. I am happy to see the lose and I wonder what and I doing to baby.
well, off to sleep. Ryder is at school and I steal all sleep hours I can.

Ok, first let me say OH CRAP.
I went to the doctor for this nasty cold/flu thing because I am very dehydrated. They said I have a sever chest cold and I need a chest xray. So, I went with the nurse to pee in my little cup. Nurse came back and said NO xrays for you. You are very very pregnant. Tomorrow, I learn the VERY VERY part.
Crazy part is I am on Ortho. We are every happy. I am scared out of my mind. I get no meds until tomorrow when they tell me how far along I am.
I am so sick. I am drinking fluids. They will hook me to an IV drip tomorrow. I was borderline dehydrated, so they thought one more day.
To us, this is God's will and we will make it the best as we possible can.
I hear that this early out of surgery, I will most likely spend time in and out of the hospital for IV drips. Oh Joy!!
Now, Let's pray for TEAM PINK.

Flu
Feb 15, 2011
PCM says it's the flu. AHHH, I am sooo sick. This cough drives me crazy. Nothing is working. He told me to take Claritin D.
I am dried up in the nose. It's in my lung.
I have the worst headache ever and I am bloody tired. Still on liquid b/c everything makes me gag right now. (my cough is so violent that if I am eating I throw up too.)
Back to bed with my bum.
Only good thing about being sick... is you lose weight.
NOTE TO SELF: DRINK DRINK DRINK and smile

been sick
Feb 12, 2011
I don't know what my deal is. Seriously.
Labs are fine. I am just so bloody tired and really can't eat much for the last week. On a liquid diet again. AGAIN.
Have I told you lately how much I hate liquid diets? When starting this journey, I prefered a liquid diet. But not now.
I am call dr again monday. I want new labs. Something is not right. I don't have a cold or anything of that nature.
I simply feel like a mack truck hit me over and over.
AHHHHHH... excuse me as I whine a bit more. I need a pity party.
I should be happy with the weight falling off. I haven't really seen a stall. I am happy with it and my new outlook about myself. It's just being sick sucks HARD CORE.
These are times where I want my mom. Can't wait to go home friday. I soo want my mom. She always has a magic touch that makes me whole again. I sure hope one day, I am the same for my son!

Surrender to the Goal
Feb 08, 2011
NSV moments are coming closer and closer by the day. Just yesterday alone, I had 5. My self confidence is booming. I actaully feel alive again.
I haven't blogged much because my life is soo full right now. Yet, I don't have much to actually talk about. Life is life. Somedays, it just blows or days are wonderful.
My first personal goal has been achieved and I am marking it off the list.
Today, the scale informed me that I am the weight I was on the day I married my hubby in 2000. (225lbs)
I am quite happy at the moment. Still tooo camera shy to post photos, someday I hope to be comfortable enought to that the photos.

Officially Obese
Jan 16, 2011
As of this morning I am 230 and Officially Obese.
I am still shopping my closet. not much left but still haven't spent money on clothing.
I can play with my son on the floor and I can spin him around with out falling down after one spin.
I can actually clean my house. Yep, I let the maid go!!
I actually feel accomplished and brave.
I am slowing entering the world again. It's not as scary as it was before.
I am proud of myself. over 70lb lose in just over 4 months. Incredible.
Pardon me as I pat myself on the back!

Been awhile since I posted.
Life is going quickly. I can't believe it's the end of the year already. I have been focused on living life.
I took an internet break. I got overwhelmed by all the forums. I was reading everything. I learned that we are all different and have different life plans and lifestyles.
I have lost a whole person this year. My mind is connected with my body now. Eating is easier and I can eat many exciting items. Since my doctor hates protein shakes, I have been experimenting with new food that are high in Protein. Last month he asked me to increase to 4 meals with 2 snacks. This plan is working for me. I am actually getting 40-55g of protein a day. I am shooting for 85g daily. Some days, I eat like crazy, every 2 hours. I nibble now.
My mother is a grazer; she only weights like 100lbs and is 5'1". I am now eating like her. I eat what I desire but in two or three baby bites. I am full after that.
I have time, according to the doctor, to master this with food enriched proteins. His teachings are Water first up to 2 liters a day, then proteins to 60g, then veggies.
Don't get me wrong; I have tried a ton of shakes. Reading all the forums got me scared, so I went against the doctor and tried over $40 in sample packs. (this week Nectar arrived so I can try)
The ones I have tried are gritty and milkshake like. I don't personally care for milkshakes. I learned that I no longer can tolerate cows milk. I am using Lactaid Milk now.
I got so confused with other plans that I lost focus on my own plan. In Nov, I visited both surgeon and nut to discuss this issue: Protein by shake or not. Together, we refocused my diet to food enriched proteins. I am still dabbling in adding powder to soups, oatmeal, grits, cheesy Mashy Taters ( my kid loves this ), sauces, dips, etc.
I never used to cook. Now, I cook three times a week and hubby does the rest. I freeze my food in 2 oz containers. I am still a grab-n-go girl. Don't think that fact will ever changes, therefore smart choices are needed.
Well, needless to say, Life is different and I am actually enjoying it. I dreaded the holiday season, But I fared well. I even ate sf cookies. My mom made them tiny bite cookies, perfect for little 2 yr old hands. I had a few. I eat it slowly and let the cookie melt in my mouth. YUMMY and sinful. But oh well, I survived and still lost weight.
Still haven't really exercised. I love walking stores and window shopping with my boy. It's really stop and go. I love to watch him explore. We adventure out for several hours. So I guess all that walking helps, especially when you used to sit on your bottom for 13 hrs a day.
So here is to a new chapter and a New Year of new and exciting adventures. :cheers:
