1St Fill

Had my 1st fill yesterday and it did not go well. I went in very positive that I wasn't going to have those problems I've heard about but I did. I have some fluid behind my 2 large incisions so they tried to remove that. Then I wanted a fill because I have no resistance, the port has moved deeper so it took a while to find during that time they did a lot of poking on it. Thank goodness for numb drug!!! I don't think I could have handled it without because it was still painful. I don't want to scare anyone my doctor promised me this is unusual to have problems and even said a lot of times people with my very fair skin have more issues than others (in anything!!!) ahhh sometimes being a red head is not fun! Anyway I did like that his scale says I've lost 2 more pounds than mine did so I'll take it!!!   I go back in two weeks, they were only able to do 3CC's so in two weeks they will try again and I'm sure it will be better!

Day Two Of Pre-Op Diet - And Feeling Miserable :(

Day two of the pre-op diet is drawing to a close and I'm miserable. I have a nasty headache, I've eaten dinner and I am still hungry, I feel kind of nauseated and I am grumpy. Not good. I had to do a pizza run for the volunteers painting the church and it was HELL. Ordering all that pizza and picking it up...not a good feeling.   I am trying to put it into perspective...it's just food, you control it blah blah blah...but for some reason I think i am wallowing in my misery. I have to snap out of it...but am not sure how. I am extraordinarily tired too which I attribute to coming off the sugar.   Can I ask anyone out there already sleeved - is this is what life is like forever? Do you get the headaches, nausea and grumpiness forever?   Starting to have second thoughts...which surprises the hell outta me. I've been so confident - but if this is the reality I am not sure I am ready

How Long Should I Be On Pre-Op Diet?

I meet with my surgeon on 8/29, nothing has been mentioned yet about my pre-op diet. Should I start a full liquid diet on my own~or wait til I meet with my surgeon on 8/29 my sleeve surgery is on 9/6 ~ 8 days before surgery? Feeling confused, want everything to go right.

After Surgery

Surgery was Aug 15th!!! Everyone was so nice, a lot of in and out with people all asking the same questions (safety First!!!) My boyfriend (marc) and my mom were in the pre room with me up till they wheeled me away which was really nice. I do remember going into the operation room and looking around but I was done from there.   I woke up in recover for a few, I was in such a fog. They brought me to my room, I am not sure what all happened or how to explain it. But I freaked out pretty bad, I felt I could not breath from the pain in my side. I could see my mom and Marc I started crying It took about 1 hour to calm me down and for the pain to be comfortable. From that point on I was doing good, I ended up getting up before the night was out and walked the halls. Second day I was up was able to shower by that evening. Doin small walks, clear liquids. Friday (third day) I was released and on the road, We ran into construction on the way home. Made for a rough, long ride home about 3 hours(compared to 1 3/4 hours). Was home comfy and enjoying being home and my own bed. Sat. I made sure I did treadmil SEVERAL times stayed on top of my pain meds and such, showered and was up most of the day. Well Sunday woke up to feeling like a Mac truck hit me. I had WAY over did it Sat. I slept and ate on Sunday nothing more. Here it is Monday doing ok, better then Sunday and decided HELLO I just had surgery dont rush yourself. I was up for 2 hours then napped, watched TV, then showered, decided I would go along for the ride( had to mail a package for my son) O BOY does the road feel bumpy, I did not realized I forgot to take my pain meds and did not realize it had been over 6 hours later and not feeling to hot on the drive back home!!!!!!!   I have really cut back on them I did not think I need the full dose. I cut it in half and doing every 4/5 hours. They had me doing every 3 hours.   Getting out bed has been the hardest.   My tummy looks pretty good, They did have to do 6 cuts, They removed my gallbladder at the same time.   Taste buds have changed, I have always hated the taste of diet stuff, the after taste is what I could not stand. My mom made me sugar free jello, pudding, and bought sugar free popcicles. I like the taste of these BUT seems so sweet!!! I was reading and realized I could finally have Tomato soup SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! and OMG did it taste so good. So I have not had problems feeling full, but did HATE when Marc cooked breakfast and I could smell the bacon cooking..... Has it never smelled so good. I think that is a big thing to get over the next 2 weeks is having the texture of chewing on food!!! I will make it!!   I have made an appointment to have my hair done before I return to work, having it colored and cut. At work I don't do much with myself (hair in bun, no makeup, and stay in my office most of the day doing my work) So I will have a new look to go back to work with, with the new ME. I have not told others, except my best friend who works there. Most people know we have been "dieting and walking" daily and that I was going out on medical leave for gallbladder surgery. I had lost 15lbs before my last day. who knows how much more before I return in 2 weeks. I wonder if they will notice.   On my surgery date I was 242lbs home from hospital I was up to 254lbs!!!!!!!   I weighed myself today 246!!!!!!!!!! So a lot of rambling but I really want to remember the journey and so I wanted to get a lot in over the last few days! If you have any question please feel free and send me a message!!!!

I'll make my own luck
 

Just Another Day...

Tomorrow is my birthday.   I've been very sad lately, thinking about the life I've wasted. My best friend is in a hospital right now literally watching her mother die. She would give anything for one more good day, and here I sit, wasting my life. Hiding myself because I'm too embarrassed of my appearance to embrace this life I've been blessed with.   I remember on my 23rd birthday getting up and ready to go out to dinner with my parents. That day, I had no pants that I fit into. I had nothing to wear. I cried because I felt so hopelessly big. I couldn't even call someone to borrow something - no one I knew was as big as me.   And here I am, about to turn 32, and feeling the exact same way. Except that I probably weigh 100lbs more than I did back then. I felt hopeless back then, and now I'd love to be 100lbs lighter. I wish I was that size again. I am already worried about how my mind is going to handle being self-confident again (although, I don't think I ever truly was self-confident). A lifetime of misery isn't something easy to overcome. I'm pretty sure I'll be one of those people who can't see themselves how they really are, because I'm only JUST NOW, at age 32, weighing over 400 lbs, beginning to realize how big I am. I'm "Oh, I hope I don't break that chair" fat. THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED MY LIFE TO BE.My parents gave me this card for my birthday, explaining how proud they are of me, how they are amazed by everything I've accomplished and how strong I am. And I'm reading it, thinking to myself "What have I done for you to be proud of?" I'm their only child, and i'm this single, hermit-like woman who hasn't accomplished much but graduating high school and being employed. I guess they can be proud that I don't ever ask them for money. I don't feel like I'm worthy of their pride. Is losing weight gonna help me love myself? Not completely, but I really hope it helps. I don't like being so harsh on myself. I just don't know how to shut the negative thoughts off sometimes.   I'm just over it. I want to move on. I wish I could snap my fingers and have surgery tomorrow... but I'm just getting this train started. Who knows how long I have to wait...   I'm getting anxious with the process, which is resulting in some depression on my end, and due to other factors in my life (like my friend's mother's illness, for example). Times like this make me feel especially lonely. On the bright side, I have the day off work tomorrow. And I go to my first NUT visit. I hope it's a good day. I usually have a good day on my birthday, let's hope this one is the same. And let me be a little selfish and wish that my best friend's mother doesn't die on my birthday...   Sorry if this comes off as too depressing. I've just had a lot on my mind lately.

Post Op Day 5

So now I'm 5 days post op. Yesterday started out great!! I was feeling pretty good, but then it kind of went down hill. I have a HUGE bruise right on the center of my abdomen from one of the instruments that they used during surgery. The bruised portion is about the size of a baseball, but I can feel a knot under the skin that is more like the size of a Softball or a little bigger. The bruised area is heavy feeling and it pulls on my back. It feels like I did when I was about 8 months pregnant. I am also having a bad case of very liquid diarrhea. The diarrhea is made worse because of the gas that I am getting rid of so it is like TURBO CHARGED DIARRHEA!! It is at times uncontrollable. Last night I was laying in bed with my cPap machine on, my leg compressors and suddenly... OOPSS I got to go NOW!! I was quiet a site trying to get unhooked from all my paraphernalia so I could make it to the potty on time... Unfortunately I didn't quiet make it . SO I had to clean up, change my gown and then I put a towel on the bed just in case. My other big issue is that everytime I take too big of a swallow of something or drink too fast, I get a pain in my stomach. I can feel a pain down my left side and feel the fluid or gas move down the left side of my gut. Sometimes it is very painful- a take your breath away kind of cramp, but it doesnt last long. I only took one dose of extra strength tylenol today and I felt fine all day. I did walk about 3//4 of a mile this morning, and it felt good except for the pulling. AND I was afraid I would have a diarrhea attack and not be able to make it back to the house.   Today is Monday and I called for a follow up tomorrow. The diarrhea has slowed down, but has not stopped. I am not taking anything for it and I am drinking plenty of fluids so I don't think I am dehydrated. I am having a big problem choking down my protein. I just cant stand the smell of the stuff. I have found that I have to "take" it, like a dose of medicine, two or three times a day. Unfortunately, every time I "take" it, I have to go to the bathroom quickly. I got out an ran some errands today with the kids because school starts next week and I am trying to get caught up with them after being out all week last week. I am having some stamina problems because I give out too soon. I know I am probably expecting too much from myself. I took my kiddos to the pediatrician this morning and got their before school checkups, but then it was back home and a nap. I went out again for a couple of hours and got school supplies and that is about all I am going to be able to do today. I'm sitting here working on my computer, then I'm going to bed and finish my book Ive been reading.   I've heard that the first week after surgery is called "Hell Week" and I can't say it has been hell, but I think I can see it from here! It has been more strenuous than I expected it to be. I think the blood loss I had in the hospital probably sapped me of more energy than most people experience. I am looking forward to seeing the Nurse Practicioner tomorrow for a quick check up and have my blood count checked. I think I will feel better too when I start on my vitamins on Wednesday. I have never been so excited about eating cream of ANYTHING soup!!

Consent Form Signed*doing Happy Dance*

So, I just came from my surgeon and NUT appts. I signed my consent form, and I saw my NUT. Now only thing I have to do is call my PCP tomorrow and get clearance from him. I was given my pre op diet and I asked when can I start it. I almost hit the floor when I was told tomorrow. Hopefully I will have my surgery date by the end of the week, and have to stay on the diet until then. It's honestly not too bad. It consists of 3 protein shakes per day, For my snack a cup of sugar free, fat free/low fat yogurt and a piece of fruit. Plus a sensible meal that is 6 oz of meat, 2 servings of bread/starch 1 cup of veggies, 1 cup of salad greens with two tablespoons of low fat salad dressing. Considering what alot of other people pre-op diets are, this is really great. Well it sounds great, let us see how it is when I start it*lol*

New Beginnings

Well, today is the first day of school in Jacksonville, Florida. Public schools and the University of North Florida (where I work) all returned to the grind. I guess, I need to return to being a good girl and follow the rules better. Since my accident, I have had so many problems and some of them have been hard to deal with. I have found comfort in public enemy #1 - SWEETS. Yep, if it fits, it gets eaten. I have been lucky and only put on a pound or two - but playtime and the pity party is over. I have to get back to the "new me" the one who won't eat junk. My exercise has been limited to none for now so everything I eat becomes even more important. I must admit, my Dr., Dr. Cywes is actually sympathetic (big surprise to me) and has really been in my corner and helping me through this very though time.   Now, that I am back to regular school hours (in pain, but back) I can really concentrate on me and what goes in the old "pie hole". Somewhere in the back of my mixed up brain is my willpower and what I will need to get through this. I have not even been on this site in almost 2 weeks - talk about withdrawal. I told one of the students today that I really miss exercise and getting all sweaty. HAHA, that sounded so funny coming out of me, but it is true. I hope that I will be able to return to some form of exercise very soon. A year ago I would never have said such a thing..That was over 100 pounds ago though..Soooooo   Florida is great this time of year..hot and steamy in the AM - hot and wet in the PM and Muggy at night - awh ! you have to love it. In fact right now it is raining so hard, I can't see across the street. I feel for those who are suffering without rain - want some of ours? PLEASE????   Well, guys, that about it for now the lightning is getting bad and I really don't need to add that to my list of pains. Have a great week to my LB buddies. Stay true to yourselves..we made a big step in our life and we have to keep up the good work.   Melinda in Florida Short/Chunky and looking good in a short skirt ! hahahahahahaha

Tomorrow is the big day! I was getting really nervous and today I got a phone call from my doctor!! He was calling to reasure me and to see if I had any last minute questions about the procedure and that I should be receiving a phone call from the surgery debt of the hosp at some point(which they called already). So Im really getting excited! And that ONE phone call really helped with some of my nerves! I go in at 6AM and my op is 7:30 am..So I should be home by the afternoon.

The Weight Loss Journey of VegasBusby
 

Another 3.5Lbs Gone!

Happy Monday Sleevers!   I am pleased to announce that I have lost another 3.5 pounds bringing my total loss since surgery July 10 to 28.5 pounds!!!   This makes me very happy, but I do have to admit I was a little disappointed that it wasn't more. After losing 25 pounds in the first 4 weeks I was hoping for a bigger loss than 3.5 pounds. I know that once you get to more solid foods the weight loss slows down a bit and in my mind when it comes to losing weight any loss is a good loss.   I have heard some of you mention a stall early on in the weight loss and that may have been the case with me...who knows. I am still psyched that I lost 3.5 pounds in the two weeks since I last weighed myself. Like many of you, I had to lose some weight before the surgery and losing even a pound was like pulling teeth, so losing that much weight in two weeks is amazing!!   I think I am going to up my cardio to more than once a week (not including all the walking I do for work) and see if that can help in the weight loss. Plus I've heard that a regular workout can improve your mood as well, so I am totally game.   I would love to hear from you about any early weight loss stalls or slowing of weight loss.   Ciao 4 Now

Finally! Under 200Lbs - 8 Mo Post-Op!

Hello!   Well, I don't blog as much as I should or would like to. Life is just super busy and super wonderful! I am finally under 200 lbs (this morning the scale said 197!!!). I know this sounds like a lot to many, but I am thrilled. I haven't weighed under 200 for my entire adult life. Starting out at my heaviest at 270...it is a HUMONGOUS change!   I really feel great. I have tons of energy. I used to say I wasn't a night person, but...I just might be now. Before VSG, I could go to bed at 8pm and wanted to. Nowadays, I look at the clock and can't believe it is already 11pm and I'm still up and going! I do try to get to bed by 11-11:30pm though. I do like my sleep and need it for health and to rest, due to the great workouts I've been doing.   I work out 6-7 days a week. I do something different most every day. Here is a sample of what I have planned for this week's workouts: Monday (today): 1 hr Spinning class and 1 hr Yoga class, after spinning Tuesday: 1 hr Medicine Ball workout; 1 hr power walk Wednesday: 1 hr Outdoor Bootcamp Thursday: either 1 hr Spinning class or 1 hr Bootcamp indoor Friday: 1 hr Spinning class (early morning); 90 min Yoga (lunch) Saturday: Bicycle Ride - 25miles Sunday: Hiking - 8-10 miles   I've been following a really healthy plant based diet, 90% of the time, along with doing some yummy green juicing. The other 10% of my diet has included some dairy (greek yogurt and some cheese) and some seafood and a bit of chicken (I just can't turn down a few bites of my husband's amazing jerk chicken). The weight is coming off, whoop whoop, but it has slowed.   Now 8 months post-op, I definitely can eat more now than I have been post-op. So, I do have to watch most everything I put in my mouth. I just eat real healthy - no or very minimal processed food, dairy, animal products. In retrospect, it is amazing how much food I used to eat. More amazing is how little food I eat now, need to survive and to loose weight.   I have a follow-up appt in September with my doc. At that point I will post before and after photos.   Live is GOOD! One Love.

I Am Becoming One Of Those People.......

I use to have people say, oh I didn't realize it was lunch time. I would be like yeah right, how the heck do you forget lunch. Today I was sitting in my office working and someone walked into my office and ask, aren't you eating lunch. I was like huh, it's to early then I looked at the clock 12:30 - WOW I had no idea it was lunch time.   I also use to get annoyed when friends would eat a small salad or an apple and be like man I am so full. I had an apple and natural peanut butter for lunch and geez I am full. I actually really enjoyed my healthy lunch. I can't believe I am already one of those people. While eating one apple slice I didn't chew enough and felt it get caught a bit, no PB'ing or sickness just a little tightness. Wow I have a band and it's working.   Yesterday instead of cooking like I would normally do on a rainy day I got on our elliptical and worked out and it felt good. I am enjoying working out- WTH?   I am doing it, I am really doing it!!! I lost 2 lbs in the last week --- YEAH Me!! I am finally becoming the person I always wanted to be and the person who I was always jealous of. I know I will have a day again that I am doubting my band, but today I am thrilled with it. I feel like my band is helping me achieve a life long dream.   Thanks to all of you out there who inspire me to keep it up - Missy, carolina girl, jean - thanks for the help and for the post that kick me into action. Bansters ROCK!

The Start Of The Rest Of My Life.....

Hello everyone! My name is Breeanne and I am 27 years old. I am a wife and a mother of a 6 year old and 1 year old little boys. I am getting ready to finish up my 6 month required diet. September 5 will be my last visit.When I spoke to a woman in the dr's office last week all of September was pretty much open for surgery. My doctor only does surgeries on Fridays,, but a friend of mine that I met at the doctors office has the same insurance as I do and was approved in 2-3 days. I am so ready for the start of my new life. I keep telling myself that this is not just for me but for my husband and our two boys also. I want to be able to romp and play with my boys and be the "trophy" wife my husband deserves. I weigh about 270ish pounds and I am 5'7. My goal starting out was to be happy to get to 150lbs but when I went to my nutrition visit she told me that 150 was too high and she expected me to get to 135lbs. So that is my new goal. I know that I can do this and I will do this! I have a few nay sayers including my mother but that has always been the case with her. In all of my life I have never been pretty enough, skinny enough, smart enough or anything in her eyes. But it just adds fuel to my fire to do my absolute best with the help of this surgery so that I can live a long, healthy and happy life with my hubby and our two boys.. I am actually going to start my liquids this week to help with some pounds to make sure that I am down for my last appointment. I would hate to have went through these 5 months of visits to get to my last visit and have gained. I would be devistated. Thank you for reading this and I'm going to start doing this blog to keep myself motivated and honest about how things are going!

Back From Vacation - Sleeve Countdown...8.23.12

Wow, I just came back from vacation late Sunday evening. I had to start my pre-op diet while on vacation and I started good on Saturday but screwed up on Sunday. I am back in business today. As much as I ENJOYED my vacation, I also hated it. I was the fattest of the group. Although the others were smaller, they were SMASHING food. I ate too, more than what I usually would but less than they did. It is not fair but it is what it is. I also started thinking this is the last trip I will be able to eat as I know it so I got sad. Sad that it will take a surgery for me to get myself together. I so wish I could have overcome this weight battle on my own as I did in the past. I guess I am happy and sad. Surgery is days away. I need it as I look horrible. My face is full, stomach bulging...so many things I don't like. Pictures prove it too. I hated taking pics while I was on vacation. I thought, next year when we go on our major trip again, I will look great. I have so much to say but I am overwhelmed in my thoughts and can't type as fast as I think. Time for do it...write later...I cannot get my thoughts out now.

Day 3 Post-Op

I think my biggest issue, for lack of a better word, is that I've been quite tired these last few days; low energy. I'm drinking my protein drink, water, broth, SF popsicles and SF jello. I don't think I feel hungry so that's good, I guess. Wait.... I think my tummy is actually growling at me right now. Hum,,,, need to get more protein in me. I've also had pretty restless sleep, tossing & turning & tossing & turning. That's probably another reason why I'm tired.   My tummy only felt "achy" the first 2 days. This may be TMI but I'm sure someone will appreciate my just saying it. I've been burping quite a bit when I get up & walk around. I'm told that's good because they pump air inside you during the surgery & it's good to get it out. I also had a little gas, but had not gone to the bathroom in 3 days. Thankfully, I was taking Miralax, drinking Smooth Move tea, and finally yesterday added Sedekot (I think that's what it's called). Um, things finally worked themselves out yesterday. Please make sure you take fiber so you don't run into issues.   Another thing, I only used my pain meds twice. The night I got home & that next morning because of my crazy headache. I haven't touched the nausea meds I was prescribed (yet) so I'm thankful.   This might sound crazy but I made sure to use a heating pad on myself Fay 0 and 1, while gently rubbing my belly. It seemed to help some how.   I took today off from work, and am considering taking tomorrow & Wed off. This way I get some real time to get comfortable with everthing. My follow up is this Wed, so I was thinking of working from home Thurs & Fri. I'm lucky enough to have that option when in this type of situations.   That's it for now, Please feel free to make comments or ask me questions. I'm learning as I go, and am worth than happy to share my journey.   Good luck.   PS - I've lost 7 1/2 pounds now,... and I need things will slow down soon, since right now I'm on the clear liquid diet. It's all good. DIdn't gain all this weight in a day so it won't come off in a day :)

Protein Pancakes !

After researching I used a recipe for protein pancakes that I like and wanted to share with everyone. This recipe also included blue berries, which I love so much. You can also used other fruits that are in season in this recipe.     High protein Blueberry Pancakes   2 Eggs or use egg whites 1/4 container of your favorite protein shake ( I like adkins advantage and Premier shakes) 1/2 c Oatmeal 1/8 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp baking soda Dash of Splenda or Stevia 60 gr blueberries ( or fruit of your choice) dash of vanilla (optional) Pam cooking spray or use small amount of Canola Oil   combine of all ingredients in your blender and prepare your sauce pan by heating on high for 5 minutes or so and reduce heat to medium/low. Slowly pour mixture forming your pancakes cook eat and enjoy! I enjoyed my pancakes so much and I am glad to have another option for breakfast. If you do not like Oat meal you can use 1/2 c Whole Wheat flour and add Splenda or Stevia to sweeten. Using my favorite protein shake sweetens my pancakes enough for me and I use whole eggs as my pouch is unable to tolerate eggs alone.

Day 7 Of My 21 Day Challenge

Today had some super yummy foods and a snack that I have since had taken out of my challenge plan. We weren't up for another free meal and had a dinner date with some friends, so we loaded up our little meals in a cooler and headed over. I find it funny that as picky as I am I'm still going strong on this challenge and my husband isn't. He was the one that wanted to do this challenge and he is struggling big time. I had to talk him out of stopping at Wendy's on the way home for a frosty. I find it so funny.   Breakfast - Cran Apple Oats :wub: Still yummy. It's almost like a comfort food for me.   Snack 1 - Hummus Bowl I still don't like this and have had it removed from my meal plan.   Lunch - Char-grilled Crazy Chicken This was just ok. It kind of had a strange aftertaste and I'm not sure how much I actually like it. It had 120 cal, 3g fat, 13.5 carbs, and 10.5g protein for half of a small.   Snack 2 - Dark Chocolate Peanut Bar :wub: This is another flavor of the oatmega bars and it was just as yummy as all the others. It had 190 cal, 6g fat, 23 carbs, and 14g protein.   Dinner - Fit Nation Nuggets :wub: I wasn't sure what to expect. They give you some mustard dip stuff and I didn't know how that would go but it was awesome. The mustard gave a tang to the sweetness of the breading around the chicken, almost like you dipped it in honey mustard. Definitely a meal I'd eat again. Half a small has 125 cal, 4.5g fat, 10.5 carbs, and 9.5g protein.   I had a protein shake after dinner because I was starting to get a headache which is sometimes normal when I haven't had enough protein. I did struggle with getting in all my water which is why I lost so little I'm sure.   Daily Totals:   Calories - 925 Fat - 27.5 Carbs - 87.5 Protein - 76.5 Water - 60 oz Weight Lost to date - 11.6 lbs

Day 6 Of My 21 Day Challenge

Day 6 had some good food and some not so good food. This is becoming easier and easier for me.   Breakfast - HTown :wub: This was supper yummy! I'm loving every breakfast so far. The only compliant I kinda have is the cinnamon they put on everything was on the potatoes, but it was light. This breakfast had 145cal, 6g fat, 8 carbs, and 11.5 g protein for half of a small.   Snack 1 - Edamame :wub: Still love this!   Lunch - Turkey Loaf So thankful that I do not have to eat this again for the rest of the challenge!   Snack 2 - Trail Mix :wub: Another yummy snack.   Dinner - Ninja Tenders :wub: Just as yummy the second time around.   I didn't drink a protein shake on this day because I didn't stay up too late.   Daily Totals:   Calories - 920 Fat - 45 Carbs - 65.5 Protein - 62 Water - 80 Weight Lost - 11.8 lbs
