♪♫♪ Crazy Huband Say WHAAAT?! ♪♫♪

So I have this little problem... we'll actually, its a HUGE problem!!! *TMI* alert: Since the surgery my sex drive has disappeared!!! (had surgery Sept. '10) Its not that I don't love my husband or don't want to be with him... I just simply don't have the desire for that. So now for the past few weeks I have been accused of cheating...*sigh* My husband has this idea in his head that anytime I step out of this house its to be unfaithful to him!!! As funny as this sounds... its really breaking m

Who gets 1/8cc in their band? ♪♫?*♪

I'll tell you who.... ME!!! WTF is that about?!?!? I had my 3rd fill this past friday and when I heard that only 1/8 of a CC was put in I was so freaking confused. So now I have a total of 6.43 CCs in my band...Uuuummmmm, yea, thats Crazy!!!!! When I questioned this I was told that some people are just more sensitive to fills. Really?! I must be pretty damn sensitive then... Is anyone going through a similar situation?

♪♫*♪ It's been a minute...♪♫*♪

But I'm back!!!   Hey guys... I've been out of the loop for a while. I guess I've just been busy getting to know me . I've been spending a lot of time at the Y and around the city with my family. I just want to be everywhere all the time. And thankfully that "emotional roller coaster" is coming to a stop. But I will tell you that getting stuck is no joke, lol... when they say chew, chew, chew...DO IT! I've had my fair share so far, lol.   Oh, another thing... My confidence is peaking. I d

♫?*Dear God, It's me Maria*?♫

So I had my very first fill yesterday (11/4)!!! The Doc put in a total of 4.5ccs and I feel pretty comfortable with that :laugh:. Here's my story:   So I wake up in the morning a nervous wreck just thinking about the fill. (For those of you who don't know, I have a needle phobia! :crying:). The whole time I'm feeling sick to my stomach convincing myself to go to this appointment. So I get dressed, brush my teeth and go.   Once I get there the Doc has me lay on top of the machine which by

♫?* Im a Bad, Bad Girl!!! *?♫

So I planned a Halloween party for my students today (I teach sunday school) and I did some very bad things :tongue:.   First off, there was a Kit Kat calling my name... I swear it was telling me "eat meeeee". So what did I do?...*sigh* I ate it. Then I swore up and down... telling myself its ok, everyone has a slip up, I just have to be really good the rest of the day. So that was the end of that.   We then went to mass and when we got out of there the left over pizza slices were calling.

♫?* Today feels like a Zumba day!!!*? ♫

So I went to the surgeons office today and I'm officially down 30lbs!!! YAY! He says everything looks great and I'm doing a great job, "yay me" :tt1:. Best part: I finally got the ok to start working out :drool: ... Zumba: Here I come!!   I also get my first fill next thursday... I'm scared!!! :tongue: But the Doc says they numb the area first... so we'll see how that goes :thumbup:   P.s: I LOVE MY BAND!!!:wub:   [ATTACH]437[/ATTACH]

♫?* 2 weeks out *?♫

I think Im starting to feel hunger now :huh2:. And those stupid soups are not filling me up! Im so done with soup its not even funny. Just putting it in my mouth makes me wanna gag!!! Oh.. and never in my life do I wanna see yogurt and pudding :cursing:!!!   It's soo crazy that everyone on here has a way different diet plan after surgery. I was reading about a "Mushy" stage. WTF!!!!:thumbup: Why dont I get a freaking mushy stage :crying:?!?! No... all I get is a 6 week full liquid stage and th

♫?* Day after surgery ♫?*

WOW!!!! Im feeling pretty good. And honestly, the pain wasn't all the bad . The only thing really killing me is this cotton mouth. I can't drink anything until the results come back from the Upper GI.   It all happened so quick. They gave me some meds to calm my nerves before surgery and then they gave me the anesthesia through the IV, I was out in a flash. And I don't remember a thing!!!:ohmy:.   After that they brought me to my room and I was super drowsy. Whenever I felt any discomfort I

*?♫ Its not you, Its me! ♫?*

Dear Food,   I'm terribly sorry I had to do this through a letter...but its not you, Its me. This is not easy for me at all, honestly. I really don't care for you anymore, thats just the way it is.. Don't let it get you all upset. This love and hate relationship has spun out of control and it has to come to an end, TODAY! :ohmy:   It is because of your history of deception that keeps me from being even remotely interested in continuing this relationship with you.:smile:   I think you'll f

♫* Tomorrow is the BIG day ♫*

WOW!!! It's finally here... the moment I have been waiting for . I will officially be banded tomorrow. :ohmy: Is it a little weird that I'm not nervous? That I'm finally ok with what is going on and I'm not freakin' out at all. :smile:. YAY!!! Wish me luck!!!!     For all of us getting banded tomorrow: God, grant us the... Serenity to accept things we cannot change, Courage to change the things we can, and the Wisdom to know the difference Patience for the things that take time Appreci

*?♪♫ My mind is F'ing w/ me!♪♫?*

I really started thinking about the surgery last night and I just started freaking out , which led to some crying. All the negative and crazy thoughts started crossing my mind :bored:. So I look to my husband for some comfort and encouraging words... and what does he do? He keeps on snoring :sneaky:. So there I am in the dark, feeling all alone with these crazy thoughts in my head :mad:. And then I started watching Grey's Anatomy since I couldn't sleep... oh God, what was that for?!? :smile:

♫?*??♪♫ Blech!!!! ♪♫?*??♪

If I drink another can of chicken or beef broth I'm gonna freakin' vomit!!! Most disgusting thing I've ever had to swallow. And don't get me started on the damn Jello!!! :thumbup: I don't know if I can make it until Monday. This clear liquid diet is sooo gross. :smile2: I'm so hungry I tried licking my husbands fingers while he was eating his flamming hots :thumbup:. Please tell me it gets better.... :thumbup:.

♫?*??♪♫ yessss!!!!!! ♪♫?*??♪

I got the call today!!! I have been approved by the insurance and my surgery date is September 27th!!!! I can't believe it!!! This is really happening!!!! :thumbup: Thank you God Almighty... Lord please guide these surgeons and please allow me to have a safe and quick surgery/recovery. :tt1: I hope the surgery goes as smooth as possible. I've been praying about this... hoping that it would happen.   :thumbup::w00t::thumbup::w00t::smile2::w00t::w00t:   Im getting nervous and soooo many thing

♪♫?*?*?.??♪♫ sigh ♪♫?*?*?.??♪♫

So here I am. Waiting, waiting, and waiting. :frown: Anxious to find out if I have been approved or not. Although I'm pretty sure I will be, I just want a surgery date. I want to get this surgery over with.   It took me a long time to figure out wether or not to go with it :thumbup:. I had many doubts while deciding. Am I making the right choice? Will this really work? Will I die on the table? Will I wake up from the anesthesia? Will I ever be able to eat again? Will I ever be able to ride a
