I'm doing great. Dr. Now has me on soft foods. Getting tried of SOFT FOOD!!! UGH.....
See him next week and hope to be moved up to real food! I'm staying off the scale.  I think the scale is
my worst enemy. I'm going to try to go to the support group this month. I feel like I need support.
Hubby doesn't get it. I just don't want to get lost again and blow my second chance.

I over ate with some sugar free pudding Saturday and felt like I had to throw up but I got off my
butt and walked and walked until it went down. I hate that feeling....I can only eat about 3 spoon
fulls of anything. My head thinks I dying here. But I feel better. I'm sleeping better at night.
I'm trying to get lots of water in. Propel seems to taste the best of any flavored water out there.

OK...16 pounds lost so far. I think more then that but I'm staying off the scale!
Write more soon!

Had a revision on 4-12-11!!
Dr. Now is great. I only had to stay in the hospital for 2 days. Just a little sore but not bad at all. Taking no pain meds.
It's been 6 days now and I really do real great. Sick of the liquid diet. He tells me 3 weeks of it. UGH!!
Weight of surgury was 354.
Cant wait to go in for my check up on Thursday!
Will post then!

OK, so. I see where i posted last year in March and tried to get help. And never followed through with it.
Big UPDATE!!!

I saw Dr. Nowazarden to talk about a revision. And boy oh boy. I got my ass handed to me!! By him and his nurse.
It was a big wake up call. Starting weight, as of 1/2011 was 359.
WOW..41 more pounds to 400.
I never want to see that number again and have vowed not too. I have a lot of emotions running through my head right now.
Sad, angry, hating myself.....SLACKER.
Well, I'm on the road to losing weight.
They did X-Rays, blood. EKG
Dr. Now did a gastroplasty and found I have bacteria in my pouch. So me put me on 3 meds. They make me sick but I'm sticking to it. Saw him yesterday again, lost a whopping 3 pounds. 356 but not trying like I should be.
Asked him if Medicare will cover a revision. He tells me my pouch has stretched out and staples are not right. Makes me wonder if they were right in the first place. He said the food is going into the wrong place. How can this be? I'm still confused about the whole thing. Seems Medicare will pay if something is wrong. So, next week I go the the dietitian. And see how it goes from there.
 
I really like Dr. Now. Saw him on TV while watching TLC channel. He is very quite and seems gentle. I hope he can help me.
We will see. Will update later.

OMG................It's been YEARS sense I have writtin on my profile.
Weight as of today is 364. Creeping back up to 400.
I only lost down to 319 with my RNY. Back in 9/2004. I feel like a failure at thing. Hell, I failed weight loss surgery.
I'm really beating myself up about this. You ask what am I going to do about it?
Well.........my fat ass has joined Gold's Gym. I plan to walk if it kills me. And of course drink all my water and maybe try a few new protein drinks. I will let you know how this goes and will keep this blog active, if it kills me. Knowing how much I hate to write!!!
I'M TRIED OF BEING THE FATTTT GIRL!!!!
I'm tried of all this hanging skin from my stomach and the rashes, and back pain. I'm still not sure If I can do anything about it? I weigh 364, who is going to take off a stomach of a woman weighing that much??!!! I'm to afraid to call a doctor. I already know what he/she will tell me. Lose 150 pounds then we can talk. I know, I'm bitching.
Tomorrow is another day.
I wish I could meet a "walking buddy" Somebody who I could relate too. If anybody is in my area. Email me. I live in Montgomery, Texas. I know, it's a long shot.
