3 months post-op!

Jun 12, 2007

It's been three months now since surgery and so far i've lost 70lbs, yay! I finally went shopping again but only bought two outfits because i'm dropping so fast. I feel more healthy and i'm even walking a little faster now. This surgery seriously saved my life! I don't think i could have done it alone, this tool has helped me in many aspects of my life. I never knew before this surgery how much people eat and surround there lives around food.  I've noticed that a lot with myself that i surrounded my life around food, today even though i can barely eat i find myself still going to the super market and buying a full cart of grocries. I just caught myself doing that, so now i'm working on the mental part of thing and all the habits i had. This is a whole lifestyle change, everything changes but when people would say it before i did not really understand until i went through it myself. Everybody is different but for myself the surgery was truely worth it. I got my life back, i got a second chance to live life to it's fullest and i'm not going to waste it anymore. And to everybody who is thinking about having this done find the answers within yourself

Two Months Post-op Update!

May 12, 2007

Well it's already been two months since i have had surgery and i've lost 55 pounds so far, yay!  People say they are already seeing it and i feel much better. I can walk a bit faster now and i don't feel so loaded down.  I have had trouble with the eating too fast but i am working on that because it is very painful. It does take some getting used to but it's all well worth it. I am on my way to a new and healthy life! I will keep you all posted at a later time, thanks to everybody who supported me on my journey.

Lisa S. is my angel so she will keep you all updated for me. I won't have access to a computer when i'm down there and they said i'll be there till at least sunday. Well thank you all for your support and i'm ready to go do this! Well this is it, no turning back now!  Wish me luck and hugs to ya!

Only five more days to go!

Mar 01, 2007

Well i'm leaving on monday to head down to southern,ca. I have a few groups to attend and have a one on one the day before with my surgeon. Wednesday is the big day and i'm really nervous. It didn't help last week when i went to the cable company to get cable for my new place , me and the lady who works there started talking. I knew her because we went to weight watchers together and she asked me if i was coming back,i told her maybe but i'm having this surgery next week and all the sudden she started freaking out and telling me these horror stories from what happen to some people she knew and she was freaking me out. Talking to me like i might die or something and telling me once i do it , thats it no turning back and kept saying my poor little boy. She told me her friend had it done and the surgeon made her pouch too small and now she has a tube coming out of her stomach for the rest of her life! Why did she have to tell me this??? Now, i'm freaking out bad and before this i finally was really okay and having a positive attitude. I'm scared but i'm still trying to think positively. I have a feeling that i'm gonna to make it and be so happy!  I'm just really upset she had to do that, there was no reason for it. I'm sure if she was having surgery she wouldn't want people to talk to her like she was going to die, i'm sure she would want lots of support! Well i'm sick of being this way and always feeling disgusted with myself. It's time for me to live!!! So i am going to do this to live a longer and healthier life,  i owe it to myself! And i love my son so much and i'm doing this for him as well. I want to be a good mother and be able to play with him and take care of him like he deserves. I'm ready, I can do this, right? Please pray for me, only five more days! This is really happening!!!!! My angel lisa S. or I will keep you all posted and i'll try to keep a positive attitude going into surgery, see you all on the other side.(the losing side!!!)

Got an angel!

Feb 10, 2007

Well last week lisa s. volunteered to be my angel and i am very honored. I'm not sure exactly what to do but it said if you have an angel then put it on your profile, so i guess this is what i do if not and i'm suppose to do something else will someone please let me know. I don't know if i'm suppose to post it as a blog or not still trying to get use to this profile stuff. I also am having a hard time posting my avatar because i don't have any pictures that are only 20k, does anyone know how to make your pics 20k? I got my gallblater ultrasound today. One more pre-op test down, only two more to go this next week and i'm all set! It's coming really fast now. 25 more days!!!! I can't believe it, i feel my heart is about to jump out of my chest because of nerves. I'm happy though that i don't have to do a liquid diet two weeks before like i've been hearing a lot of people saying, my surgeon only requires liquid diet one day before surgery(thank goodness!) I would also just like to say that i am so grateful to all my friends on here at OH. Thank you for excepting me and putting me on your friends list, that means alot! Well all i can say is for the next month i need all the support i can get, so thanks to everyone out there that is supporting me on my journey!

I'm real nervous but excited! Emotions are flying everywhere!

Well only one month now and i'm going to be having my gastic bypass surgery. I'm real nervous because i'm a single mom and have a two and a half year old. I just don't want to die but i guess if i stay on the road i'm on , it will eventually happen anyways. That's really the only part i'm scared about is leaving my son behind. Other than that i'm real excited, i'm ready to start a new life. A healthy life with my son! As it gets closer to the surgery date i'm running into a few people that have the need to tell me horror stories about it and what i really need right now is lots of support! Does anyone relate with me?
