I made it to the........
Jul 14, 2009
Loosers Bench.......finally after a long haul and back and forth things with the doctor and nurse. I had my RNY on June 23. 2009 in Fremont, CA with Dr. E. Hahn. It was a very painful journey for me. I can finally say that I am post-op!
My 10 percent lost was to get from 291 (my highest weight) to 262. On surgery day I was 257 on the day after surgery I was 277, lots of fluid.
I have only lost 5 actual pounds because the first 20 was the fluid they put on me for surgery. I havent been able to eat much, they put me on stage 3 on my 2 week check up and I couldnt handle it and I am back on stage 2. I have found the only meat I can eat is the thin deli meat and very little of that with out bringing it up, but I can eat fish with no problem but very little of that, so far 1 tablespoon of tuna is ok.
I have been working out at the gym on the treadmill for an hour in the mornings and sometime I walk around the park for 2 miles if it is not too hot. I wear a brace around my midsection for support because I am still in pain but only in one area that they had to cut into the large muscle due to a lot of scar tissue that had attached itself.
Although the beginning is rough, I am so thrilled and would do this again in a heart beat. Im very excited and I thank God all in the middle of the night, when I roll over, when I walk, and when I am just sitting I thank God for this powerful tool.
I cant wait for the pounds to start dropping off, I do believe I notice a few inches off but not enough to say wow.
I will keep you posted and one day soon when there is a difference I will post some pictures.

Update
Apr 14, 2009
Hi Everyone, I just figured out how to post my history. (actually my husband showed me) Before I forget can those who are really talented with decorating their page help me and my husband and tell us how we can add life to ours? Now, the update:
I have struggled to stay encouraged. My husband has been a trooper keeping me encouraged. I am still battling 3-5 pounds weekly. I have been sent for further testing because I had become sick for 1.5 months at the end of last year and they never find out why. I became anemic so the doctor needed answers. Got prayer, got tested and I am now at the normal blood level, and cancer was ruled out. Thank you Jesus!
I have finally received a email from my surgeon in Fremont, CA and he said everything was complete, to call his secretary. Called her and she stated she would locate my file and place it on his desk for the final go ahead.
If you recall, it has taken an extra year due to our insurance ending because of the change in jobs. Well, pray......my husbands job is talking of more layoffs, and that means IF he is one, there goes the insurance again. I will be devestated!
This has been a long haul and I am right at the door now. Pray I get the call THIS WEEK WITH A VERY CLOSE DATE FOR SURGERY! I want to be on the loosers bench so bad. I made it to 257, right now I am retaining fluid for some reason and I am one that really watch the sodium intake. This morning I was 262 which is still my 10% goal weight but I need it down so incase their scale weigh higher.
