January 3, 2008 It's been a long while since I've posted. Sorry fellow losers. Life is so much fun not carrying the excess baggage around. I will soon post a new picture of 140 lbs lighter. I have never in my adult life weighed less than 300 pounds. I had a neice graduate from high school this weekend and all the family members that had not seen me since last year did not even reconize me. That was so cool. I don't see the loss like every one says but I know its there cause I was wearing a size 32 in clothes and now wearing 16 and 18. WOW yippee for me. I still have a lot of nausea some times but still trying to get in all my protein and water but not to successful as of yet. I'm getting there though. With working out everyday and working I don't get to much time to update but I will be doing better. Thanks to all who have gave me guidance and helped me along with my struggles. I had a relative come over to my house today and it was so funny cause she asked me "Is Linda Home" I just laughed and she knew then it was me. That made me feel super. Went to Houston on April 16 2006 and was very parinoid when I got on the plane cause I just knew that I was going to have to ask for an extension as always before. But when I sat down I even had to tighten the seat belt WOW..... When I got off the airplane had to walk a long ways at Houston International to the baggage claim where my daughter was meeting me. She was looking all around for me and I kept calling her name and she just looked past me. When I came to the bottom of the steps she couldn't even believe it was her mother standing in front of her. She knew that I had lost a lot of weight and had been begging my son and husband to send her a picture cause she had not seen me since Christmas. No one sent her a picture cause I wanted it to be a suprise when she did see me. BOY WAS IT!!!!!!!! I just want to thank God for giving me the strength to carry on. Never getting tired now..... Will post again next month. As the call me at work The Incredible Shrinking Woman December 26, 2006 Sorry its been a while since I've posted but with the holiday its been busy busy busy. I have lost a 77 pounds to date and I feel like a million bucks. I made it through Christmas but barely. I tried to eat a homemade roll and WOW my tummy did not like it at all. I usually stay with the meats only. I know better than to try the bread again. I don't have the nausea any more. I found a protein drink and pudding thats keeps me up on my proteins. Thanks you Jesus...... I was having trouble with that one. I have started water aroebics twice a week and walking 3 days a week. I've started to see the loose skin appear and had to get busy. Life is so much better. I have went from a size 34 in clothes to a size 22 and they are getting loose now. Wish I had done this 20 years ago. Have not lost any hair that I can tell. Life is good in Missouri. Saw my regular Dr. and she was very impressed and I have been taken off my Diabetes and Asthma medicines. I don't even use the CPAP machine any more. I have more enery than I've had in YEARS. Thats all for now but I will get back hopefully after my next doctor visit on Jan 20. |
October 24, 2006 Went to see Dr. Hoehn yesterday and he said its all a go. I am so excited can hardly wait till monday. It's been a long six weeks. Dr. Hoehn and the staff at the clinic are truely the finest professionals. Well I will start my pre-opt prep on Saturday so I will probably be to tired to post until after my big day.
October 30, 2006 WOW the time is here for me to get ready for my big day. Can't wait. Took my tasty Magnesium Drink and sitting here waiting patiently waiting my turn. A little jittery right now but I know that will pass. I will post when it's over tomorrow. Well maybe not tomorrow but as soon as I feel better.
Nov 8, 2006 YIPPEE !!!!!!! it's over. Took a week to feel good enough to come back to my favorite spot on the internet. Hey today was the best day for me. I even got around to vacumning my house. (OOPS) boy was my husband upset, he thinks its much to early...HEHEHEHE NOT. I still feel great. Well now the first WEEK after surgery was a real doosey very bad week. I am a WUSS when it comes to PAIN, but my husband said it couldn't be that bad since you came off the pain meds after only 3 days. He said he read a few that remained on them throughout the hospital stay and weeks after. Heck I went home the next day from the hospital after the swallow test. Hey gang thanks for the support and the prayers while I was crossing over to the Post. Hey it also feels good to not be hungry all the time. My husband smokes and now wants to quit :) cause I can't even stand the smell and I keep gripeing at him about his smoke. I feel like a critical nut case cause I am a ex smoker only quit a few months prior to surgery. Well on to the good stuff only after 1 week I lost 19 pounds when I went to the doctor. That was the best news ever.
Nov 26, 2006 It's been a long time since I last posted. I am feeling great and seem to not have any problems. I have been so busy with preparing a Huge Thanksgiving dinner for my family thats why I have not posted in a while. I survived the holiday and boy I could not hardly eat a thing. I had a slice of Turkey, and some spinach wanted to try some stuffing but did not have room. I tell you only small amounts is all I can take and thats good I guess. I made me a sugar free cheese cake and went to take a slice later that night and still felt to full to even eat it. I have lost another 21 pounds YIPPEE!!!!! Will post again soon.
