It's been a while, but it's been pretty good!

I haven't posted in a while, but i've done pretty good. I had a couple days that i could and wanted to eat anything i wanted. I had crawfish and i was a happy camper! I still lost which was surprising actually. I would have been happy to have just not gained!   Mom came and did not say ONE FREAKING WORD about my loss. should i be surprised? why can't she be happy with what i have accomplished? oh well...this is not for her, or about her....   i went to my appointment on monday Marc

2 weeks into my journey...

I didn't realize how many days it has been since an entry. I guess there really wasn't anything new to report. I was able to add a few new things to my food list, i also saw the scale going down, but didn't want to get too exctied over that since i was going to wait to see what if Dr's office scale said the same loss....   SO, today was my appointment. the first thing she did was weigh me. sure enough...I am down 17 pounds. they said 16, but i weight my clothes...I know, i'm anal! the

it's all good...until you SNEEZE!

i did great yesterday. I even went with my mom to the education store for probably 2 hours walking around. I forgot my water bottle and i need to make that a habit to bring it everywhere with me. i wasn't hungry while gone, but was thirsty. I did great all night, didn't take meds at all, slept good, was able to turn over with no pain.   THEN...this morning, i sneezed! OMG, it felt like knives in my side. only at my port site. now, it is more sore than yesterday.   my period deci

2 steps forward one step back...2 steps forward.

Well, i said i wasn't in much pain at all the other day. That evening things got worse. I'm sure now that it was just gas, but boy was i scared. i couldn't lay down, or sit...i had to walk around the house over and over. it felt like some serious contractions going on! I tried to go to bed and it was worse. got up and finally called the Dr. he let me take 1 alieve and i took my pain meds. within a hour, things were normal again and i was able to sleep! thank goodness!   Yesterday was a

i survived the night!

I was concerned yesterday with how well i would be able to sleep. I have to say that it wasn't bad. i started out on my back but i hate sleeping on my back, so i tried my right side. it was a little scary trying to get there, because it hurt a bit, but once i was all the way on my side, i had no problems. I did have to switch to my other side early this morning.   this morning i'm feeling pretty good. i can feel where my port is the most. it's really swollen there more than anywhere e

i did it, i did it....

It's DONE! i'm not hating life, i actually feel really good. good meds? maybe! LOL   everything went well, he ended up finding a hernia on my esophpgus. He stitched it up. he asked hubby if i had reflux/heartburn/indigestion... i guess it would cause that. I'm home and other than when i take a really deep breath (left shoulder pain), when i go from sitting to standing or vise cersa, i'm feeling really good. i thought i would really be in pain and i'm not. not even close. i feel like

This is it...

TODAY is THE day. I actually leave in about 20 minutes! make that 15! in 2 hours i should be taken back to the OR and by 8 they should start.   yesterday i wondered, should i be doing this?   last night, i took before pics. YES, i SHOULD be doing this, and i should have done it or SOMETHING about it SOONER!   you can SEE the unhappiness in my face.   i cannot even recognize the person in those pictures.   I know by the end of the day i will be thinking, WHAT IN THE HELL DID

one step closer

Today i had my last appointment with Dr. Chung before the surgery. I was pretty calm. I thought i would be a nervous wreck. that will probably hit tomorrow. I hope it doesn't tonight. i want to be able to sleep!   After my appointment, i went over to the hospital for Pre-op testing. Blood work, chest X-ray and EKG. They put my braclet on, i guess as a reminder of what i'm gonna be doing tomorrow! now, evertime my hand goes to my mouth, i'll have a reminder that i'm really gonna do t

in the begining.....

Here is the start of a journey for the rest of my life! here's how it's gone so far....   Feb. 11- First meeting with Dr. Chung Feb. 18- APPROVED and got a surgery date!~ Feb. 25- 2nd appointment. got all my info to start liquid diet on 2-26.   Went eat at Johnny Carino's for my 'last supper'. really was a stressfull dinner with the kids and the food was cold.
