Ticker

How do you update your ticker? I deleted my ticker and created a new one with the new weight, but when I finished it, it gave the old number still? I must be doing something wrong. I even went back to 'update ticker' and that doesn't work.

Here I Go!

Here I go!! Finally getting to learn a few things. I started this process the end of May, going to my first informational meeting. After having a month delay in getting started doing anything (because of switching insurances) I am finally getting thru my pre op steps. Tonight I have my "First Step " class to go over more details and learn about all the particulars of surgery and life after. I read on this site every few days and get so much encouragement from everyone. I am only one step away from having my case sent off to insurance to get final approval. I have started to change my eating habits and excercise. I am sooooo ready to get moving! Yea!!! Lets go!

A Cross Between The Bachelor Party And The Hangover

You can find my complete blog HERE.   As I have written, I identified myself as an overweight guy who didn’t do much of anything. I went to work, I came home, and I was not social. I can’t identify myself in that way anymore because I’m more active and trying to be social. However, I am a baby when it comes to interacting with people. My weight used to hide me and give me an excuse to not have to deal with people.   As another strategy to break out of my shell, I signed up with Meetup groups in the area. Several are for photography and a general social Meetup. My wife and I made reservations to go and see a play and have dinner with about 20 other people from Meetup. That should be interesting. I’m actually quite terrified of how to act and what to say. Thankfully, my wife is going to be there with me and she doesn’t have these hang-ups. I can lean on her quite a bit.   For quite some time I’ve longed to have a group of guy friends. I watch movies like “The Hangover” or “Bachelor Party” and wish I had male friends that I can do things with like go to Vegas. I’d love to have a small but intimate group of guy friends to hang out, drink beer, eat chili dogs and cheese fries (burp!) and talk about whatever is on my mind. We could go out to see movies that my wife doesn’t want to see, play a little poker, car shows, chili cook-offs, fishing, paintball, you get the idea. All of those things guys like to do; I want to be able to do.   I was telling this to my therapist who suggested I look on MeetUp. I found many groups for women but none for guys to just hang out and be guys. So, I created a group for guys. Because of my self-esteem issues I have very low expectations for the group. I didn’t think anyone would actually join the group but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try. I thought, “Oh well, I’ll create it and we’ll see what happens.” I paid for a group for 90 days because I figured that once this flopped, I wouldn’t be out a whole lot of money. Well, what happened is that I got 90 guys who signed up in just a few days. YIKES! So I guess this group might last a little longer than just three months.   When I created my “low expectation” group, I also created a happy hour. I picked a date and time I was available but I figured that since nobody would sign up that it would be a moot point. Monday night it not idea for a happy hour but since nobody was going to show up, it was not that big of a deal.   Within a couple of days, I had 15 men sign up for the happy hour. HOE. LEE. ****. I didn’t know I was filling such a void. Well crap, I guess that means I actually have to go and figure out where to have this thing. I really was expecting that no one would sign up for the Meetup, and no one would show up for the Happy Hour.   These are the kinds of things that the old me, the 330 pound me, would have thought: “I’m not worth it, so therefore no one is going to sign up.” However, this is the kind of thing I need to change my attitude about. I AM worth it. I AM interesting. People SHOULD like me, and if they don’t I’ll just beat the living crap out of them until they change their mind. Sorry, I got carried away!   Now, the Happy Hour is stressing me out because my wife is not going to be there. It’s going to be a bunch of guys I don’t know. It is all on me to make it a success. I don’t know how to act. I don’t know what to talk about. So we’ll have to see what happens. Anyway, that’s all the news that’s fit to print for today.

Waiting For Approval

Four years ago I was recommended for gastric bypass surgery by the neurologist who reviewed my sleep study results as part of a full physical I was having. I will never forget how stunned I was to be told I needed this surgery and how poor my chances were if I didn't have this. I was stunned because I thought only extremely fat people had this done. I always saw myself as a large boned, well proportioned but generously built woman. Not what anyone would consider morbidly obese. Morbid is such a dreadful adjective, don't you think? Obese is bad enough, but morbidly so? With a BMI over 43, I see now I was in denial.   Most of my life, I've heard I don't look my age and I sure don't look like I weigh as much as I do. I've been over 200 pounds since my mid 20s. There was a point in my 30s I was able to lose down to 180, but my beloved husband did not like the self confidence I was attaining.. bitchiness is what he called it at the time. By the time I was 37, I managed to lose 185 pounds... of husband.(It was my choice, not his). Within a year I met the man of every woman's dream and not only loved him, but I was deeply and unconditionally loved by him. We were together nearly 10 years before he was taken from me by colon cancer. It was the best 10 years of my life. My weight shot up to 283 during those final months with him in 1997.   The past 15 years, my weight has stayed between 250 and 275. I've gone through a lot of trauma, I don't wish to discuss right now, but I do believe the low points caused some physical changes to my body's functioning. I'd always been able to lose weight by eating healthy and plenty of exercise. Then I began to notice changes... belly fat, flabby arms, a loss of strength in my muscles, Type II diabetes was diagnosed and I went on a very structured eating plan plus decided to move away from the big city toward a small town peaceful life style near my grandchildren. I did alright for the first year, then accepted a job offer that promised a good paycheck in return for my management expertise. Ha! The joke was on me. I inherited a dysfunctional staff in an office that was so far behind in work and meeting statutory requirements, as well as my own personal micromanaging, boss who had run the previous four predecessors of mine off due to his mean spirited ways. Within months I went from controlled diabetes and steady weight loss to having all my labs go off the charts. The stress has been relentless until this past year with the retirement of my old boss and my overhauling of my entire staff to a new, improved group of dedicated professionals who actually enjoy working as a team. Unfortunately, my health has declined into a black hole place, no amount of effort on my part has been able to reverse.   Damage to my low back and knees has pretty much sidelined me this past year. All due to my morbid obesity. I've been dealing with a level of depression turned into hopelessness that has me emotionally more trapped than if I weighed much more than I do now. Last month Dr Oz re ran a show he'd had on gastric bypass effect for reversal of diabetes. I listened. and decided to finally face the reality of my circumstances. I am 60 years old. I've been living as though my life is already over and wasting precious time that can't be brought back. I can either be a victim of my own making or I can do something about this. I spoke to my doctor and got her blessing and encouragement to meet with my surgeon here in Juneau. I am in the waiting process and hopeful I will know something before the end of this month. In the meantime I am being proactive in learning everything I can, practicing how I will need to eat afterward and listening to the wonderful support network on this site.

Lost A Man, Gaining A New Life, All In Divine Order.

Greetings to all you out there,   Michele here, and I guess I wanted to share some of my personal journey with you all. My heart is somewhat heavy but I am finding joy and excitement in this process just the same. I have been praying for change, feels like all of my life, but I think I really got clear last year on the change I wanted to see. I was in a relationship with a man who was kind, gentle, quiet, and much older than me. We got along O.K. but I knew in my heart we where not the best for each other. Quite a few things was wrong in our relationship, but one of the main issues was we saw life quite differently. He cares very little about his health, and that's all I care about, my health. Like I said before I prayed for change and it wasn't long before the Universe had the ball rolling, to make a long story short we broke up in December 2011. In my mind however, I thought we had a chance of reconciliation, not wanting to let go and Let God, I continued to hold on to that hope, and even after I had decied to go through with this life changing procedure, I still wanted to hold on to the old me and my old life and my old way of doing things. As of August 2012, he has officially started another relationship. At first I was very hurt, as turbulent as things where, he was still my best friend, and I had grown to be very dependent on his emotional support, but now is the time for me to move forward by myself. I realized it was all in Divine order. It was so fitting that he find someone new one month before my surgery, so we both can break this emotional tie we have to each other, especially me. The weight challenge has been mine, and I think relationship issues, in some form or fashion have played a role in this struggle. I really don't like being by myself, and it took me a while to figure out the difference in being by myself, and being alone *vs* being lonely. The Universe is now giving me what I want, a change in my life for the better, a fresh start at a healthy lifestyle and an active life. All old must be removed for the new to enter. I wish him only the best, I am forever grateful for the time (6 years) we had together. I send all the Love, Peace and Blessings to him and his new Love, and I am so grateful for the new Love that I am moving forward with ....Me.

Dissent

I don't know how to respond to comments so I'm just going to do it here. I agree with the statement of not telling people about my surgery. It's funny how people act towards having bariatric surgery vs plastic surgery. If I told them I was having a boob job it would be totally acceptable. Living and working in Scottsdale I am most likely one of the last people over 16 to get one. Hahah! It's true, maybe one day. Anyway, Its a whole different story when you're trying to save yourself. I really think that soon, I will be at a normal healthy weight and not have asthma, high blood pressure, a fatty liver, low vitamin D and a bleak future. Now, with my decision I can be healthy, happy and live a long life without fat discrimination and co-morbidities. I am happy with my decision. I applaude all of you who have also made this decision for yourself. I have been researching vitamins and found that I can buy most of them at Costco. Yay! On to the Protein Powder. I really like the taste of Vi by Visalus. I think it might be to thick and heavy after the surgery. I wouldnt mind doing it for the 2 week pre-surgical diet. If you havent tasted it. It tastes like vanilla cake. Holy Yum! However, I still need to find something less heavy with less ingredients. Please give me your suggestions. Thanks and have a great day.

Attitude Adjustment

IDK if it's fear or what, but my 'tude isn't where I'd like it to be right now.   Part of it is this freak'n leak that I am dealing with. Then to come here and read someone's post that hasn't even had surgery yet that says most ppl with leaks/complications have either caused them themselves or their dr's have or a botched surgery, I'm sorry, but it really pisses me off.   And why? IDK this person. And I don't care to. Doesn't matter a hill of beans what she thinks nor says. So why's it incite something inside of me?   Because I am scared. To the point I find myself crying the last few days on occassion. I rarely cry anymore. Well unless I talk of my family, then that's a whole other ball game (you'd have to know the players to understand the game! so's to speak... anywho, I digress, shocking huh?).   I AM scared. What if I never heal? What if I have to have surgery AGAIN? What if this new job that I just got fires me for something minor/contrived if I take off time to deal with all of this? What if I did something wrong to have caused this? What if I put it off the fix for months, will I continue to be in pain so much that I could slap someone? (as was the case today, which worries me since I have a high pain tolerance according to my last two hospitalizations) What if what if what if.... AHHHH just hush. I need to center and just quiet it all.   Sometimes, as hard as it is to "believe"..... **** JUST happens. It just DOES. In this highly litigous society, where everyone is a "celebrity" and "entitled" to voicing their opinion via statuses on fb/twitter/etc, I just get tired of the lack of common courtesy in the things ppl say or do, as well as the judgements that goes along with it. No one wishes to have that treatment, so why is it so quick to be dished out?   Sometimes things JUST GO WRONG. Etiology undetermined, aka no identifiable root cause. I have spoken to enough dr's and other professionals regarding my health status to know this statement to be fact as it pertains to me. But I get tired of a large percentage of the world that speaks of what they don't know or ask questions that are rather crass in the manner in which they are worded (omg what did you do to cause this?) ......... really, I am struggling enough here.   Perhaps MIA for a while is best. I hate that I'm being quite this emotional and even moreso admitting to it, but hell, I am a realist. So MIA? IDK if that's best for me. Hiding under a rock with all of this crappus floating around in my head... IDK. So ending point is.... if you read this, and if you care, please say some prayers for me. I hope God isn't disappointed in what I feel in my heart. I am honestly struggling right now. I've been fighting so much for so long, I'm just tired and... I am scared, I am frustrated, I am tired. It's a foolish waste of energy, but it is what it is.   Rambling rita out.... xxx

Just Trying To Figure This All Out...

Well, I'm 8 days away from surgery and am getting a lot of info and inspiration from everyone on this site. I thought I'd start a blog of this adventure so I can look back in a year from now and be thankful for my new healthy self. I am six days into my preop diet. I can only have 3-4 protein shakes per day, SF jello, SF Popsicles, and clear broth. The first 3-4 days were pure hell. I was very hungry and accidentally cheated on the first day. I forgot I wasn't supposed to eat, and had a handful of movie theatre popcorn. I guess that shows how I used to mindlessly eat. After then, almost every night, I dream that I eat real food then suddenly remember I can't... I guess guilty conscience.   I haven't told anyone but my husband, mom, and two close friends. I have three children and haven't even told them. No, it's not because they are too young and won't understand.... They are 18, 15, and 12. I guess maybe I don't want to worry them and I don't want them to say anything to others?!?! Why why why is there a negative stigma with WLS??? Maybe it's just me??? Maybe I'll feel better about telling people when it's over and I'm Successful?? Either way, hardly anyone knows.

I've Made It To Oz... Surgery Tomorrow!!!

Friday I had one of the most stressful days in a long time and a mini melt down. I had a lot of loose ends to tie up at work and it just seemed like every time I got one thing handled another thing popped up. I thought there was no way I was going to be able to take a week off from work without the world ending. But a good work friend talked me off the ledge and told me it would be fine. I made a list of things to do and instructions to leave, the last of which I plan on implementing in the morning. Payroll is due tomorrow I have a lot of it done but I will be going in tomorrow morning to complete the last of it. I plan on being out of the office no later than 0900. We will see if that happens.   I managed to stick to my diet all weekend to a T! I even had only fish or chicken. I was in Dallas where Taco Bueno is, my favorite place, I nearly had myself talked into having a bean burrito but I stuck to my guns and had a shake!! I am officially down 16 lbs for surgery. And if that isn't enough of the dietician then I don't know what else to tell her. I can honestly say I have done everything I can possibly do to make sure my liver is tiny for surgery tomorrow. So if he opens me up and its huge I don't know what else I could have done. No regrets. Zero.   So tomorrow is the big day... I don't have a lot to say, because I am really kinda nervous and I am really kinda worried I wont finish everything at work. And I'll be late and then I will miss surgery. LOL. No, can't happen. I will be there on time and have the surgery and wake up with the lap band and start my new journey. I have followed the yellow brick road, survived the wicked witch and her flying monkey's (taco bueno), and have finally reached OZ. I am ready to see the man behind the curtain!   Wish me luck,   Until tomorrow,   Amanda

To Tell Or Not To Tell

I've heard a lot of great ways to respond to people when they ask how you lost or are loosing the weight. I don't like lieing so this to me is the best way to answer the question......lots of water, protein and exercise. This way you choose if you want people to know about the surgery and your being honest   I started telling people over a year ago when I was researching and of course there were good and bad comments. Now i'm approaching the surgery date 9/26. My kids kind of know but I haven't talked to them about when. My reason why is because the 2 that I would tell are 15 and 10 I want them to have everything go as normal. I've arranged for them to spend the night at their friends, my oldest who's doesn't live here, and my youngest will stay with my husband. My husband says its up to me. The reason I don't want to tell the kids is because they won't want to go to school, worry about everything and when I had my 15 year old worrys so much she gets ill.   I'm blessed to have a wonderful husband who supports me and is here for me. He tells me that i'm perfect and don't need the surgery but has seen me try and fail at other diets and trying everything. My sister doesn't know because she's been really busy but when I did tell her she said she would like to do it after my research and my surgery. My mom would worry to much and she's an epileptic and I don't want her to have a seizure. My husband told his brother and he said why and says that he's here for me.   Am I doing the right thing by not telling everyone? Do I want them to worry? Is it better to tell them afterwards? Or to tell them at all? Ok now that i'm done babbling. I just have had this on my mind a lot and now that i'm done this has helped me get this out. Its weighed heavy on my mind and shoulders. I feel in my heart that i'm doing the right thing by not telling and worrying everyone.

3 Week Countdown

My husband just up and asked, "so how many days till surgery?". It made me kinda freak out, 21 days, 3 weeks, less than 1 month! My head is swimming with all the details to take care of before the day arrives, I'm trying to plan for the worst and hoping for the best. If I end up really, really sick post-op I have to have a plan in place. I pay all the bills-my husband doesn't have a clue... I do all the shopping... I babysit for my grandkids... I only have 11 weeks of paid time off at work...did I save enough money for the surgery bills?...what if I can't focus enough to do my homework?....what if I'm too fatigued to get to class?....GOOD GRIEF! So I grabbed my hubby's hand and said we are going for a walk!! So we went to the State Park and walked and talked, and walked some more. I feel better now, more at peace. Praying for the grace to make it through, and the strength to recover quickly!

Loose Skin Solution

Hello all,   So since I decided to have the surgery; I have been reading a lot, I mean a lot of materials on the band as well as bandsters experiences. I must say, I have learned so much more from the bandsters . Anyway, one of the most talk about topic after tremendous weight loss is the loose skin thing. As I read, I came across some bandsters who swears by this new thing called "THE GALVANIC BODY SPA" . According to them, this product diminishes the amount of loose skin experienced.   Now I can not vow for this product cause I have not used it, I was wondering if anyone here have tried it and if so did it work? I am also putting this info out there as well for those who wishes to try it as well.

No Sleeve For Me!

Okay, so I just had my band removed and it's the worst experience ever. I honestly don't want to have another surgery EVER.   I have been scared before but nothing like this.   I don't believe I am going to go through with the sleeve now, I don't want to go under again or have this much trama.   Weird thing is I almost feel good about that decision!
