1 Week down!

Today I am one week out from surgery. For the most everything has been great! I feel good, I am still losing weight, and I have not been too hungry.   I did have a bad night last night. My port area was very sore and cramping. It was hard to get up and move. I went out to change irrigation and by the time I came in I was doubled over and sweating - it was very strange. I did take some pain meds and was finally able to relax. I think I have been pushing it, since I have felt so good.   This m

3 Days Post-op

Well, it has been three days since surgery and I have been feeling great!:thumbup:   Today I got up early, fed the animals, did some house cleaning, went into town and ran some errands (nice to be able to drive again), I even went grocery shopping.   I took my son to the grocery store to buy some food, what a weird experience! I was not hungry at all, I saw lots of yummy food, but I was able to pass and it did not even bother me. It was a very strange trip. I bought food for everyone in the

Post Surgery

I am all done and banded! I am so glad to be done and on my way to a healthy me!   The surgery went well. I was very nervous right before heading into surgery, because of my last near death experience. It was smooth sailing and I feel good. I have six incisions with little bandages on them. I have an extended stay because of the sleep apnea - not sure what that has to do with it, but oh well. It is giving me time to use the wireless internet - what a treat, we have dial up at home!   I have

8 Hours to Go!

I am soooo excited:thumbup: I will go in for surgery in 8 hours. I can't believe how quickly this has happened. I had to do a liquid diet the day before surgery (yeah, I know, some of you had 1 or 2 weeks) so I feel lucky. It was not too bad. I made it through the day without too many thoughts of food, of course I was preoccupied with tomorrow! Had to do a bowel cleanse, how lovely. However, nothing seems to be moving at this point - with my luck it will kick in about 2 a.m. and I won't

3 Days to Go

Well, I have three days to go before surgery. So far so good. I did have a meltdown the other day, but I have since recovered.   I was feeling very nervous and unsure of what I was doing, of course when you go to pay the hospital in full up front could be a bit nerve wracking! That is a lot of money to hand over.   I was having some negative self-talk, you know, the I have never been successful losing weight, so why will this time be different? I will be the only person to not lose weight, e
