Changes

4/16/2007 All is currently good. I continue to lose weight. People are noticing. I am on mushies now. Trying hard to stick with that plan. I eat between 4-6 ounces, usually only one meal a day. I will just have a protein shake or Micellar Milk in the evening. I am not usually as hungry now that I have gotten off of clear liquids. I have learned that a flour tortilla or toast is not for me. GAG! Yesterday, I attempted both and was sick both times. I will no longer have the desire for e

Feeling Great

04/08/2007 I feel fabulous today. Earlier in the week, I realized that I had lost weight when I put on my watch and wedding ring. They both slide around rather than being too tight. The greatest feeling of all was when I went to put on a T-shirt that I used to have to stretch to wear and I didn't have to stretch it at all and it fit loosely. What a fabulous feeling.   I saw my aunt today that has also had Lapband done and she expressed concern that I could eat. I told her if I hadn't s

Back Pain, Rib Pain & Other Pain

04/02/2007 I have concluded today that I could not advise anyone to have this surgery. I am having such a hard time. I have so much hurting on my body. My mental state is something else completely. All I want to do is cry. I am hurting, hungry, following the plans, having my vitamins, protein shakes (3 or 4 a day), broth or soup, GasX has become candy to me. Advil every 4 hours, Phenergan for nausea in the evening (I think the pain makes me sick). This has been the absolute worst experie

2 Days Post Op

3/31/2007 I am so hungry. I am not sure if this is all in my head, but I feel like I could eat a horse. Today, I would have to tell everyone NOT to have this done. The pain has been terrible, I am still having shoulder pain, bloating and pain around the incisions. I have back pain and I feel like I am having a constant heart attack. I cannot encourage anyone to have this done right now. Maybe it is like childbirth and I will forget in a while. If I could go to the doctor right now and have this

1 Day PostOp

3/30/2007 OMG! The pain in my arm, shoulder and neck are unbearable. I have to stay tanked up on meds. The pain subsided during the night, but worstened during the day. I also have nausea today. Incision pain is not too pleasant either. I hope it gets better fast. I cannot stand many more days of this.

Surgery Tomorrow

3/28/07 No lost weight from the Pre-Op diet, but my clothes aren't as tight. I guess that is okay. After all, I am doing this because it is difficult to lose weight on my own. I am so excited. Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous. I haven't figured out why I should be nervous. Tomorrow is my new birthday. Today is the last day of the "old" me. I have been shocked by the number of people that do not want me to do this. The physicians that I have talked to about it, tell me what a wo

Bronchitis

:sick 3/16/07 Today I went to my PCP due to a terrible cough and I was informed that I have Bronchitis. I have 2 weeks to get this cleared up. Everytime I get this, I end up with Pneumonia. This was not a kink that I needed thrown to me right now. On top of that, I found out this week that my class is having a 20 year class reunion this summer. Now the pressure to exercise is really on. I guess it is the motivation that I needed to get my body moving.   I failed to get my shakes down

PreOp Diet

:faint:3/12/07 Today I am starting the PreOp diet. Let's see how successful this is going to be. Offer me a cookie and I will blow it! I will have 2 protein shakes a day, a sensible meal and another meal consisting of 2 of the following: yogurt, waffle, cereal, toast, bagel, and a couple other items. One of my favorite breakfast foods is a container of low-fat yogurt with a couple of tablespoons of granola and some fresh berries. That will probably be my first meal, then a shake mid morni

Consultation

3/7/07 Today I spent the day having a consult, labs, ekg and the psych evaluation. I was surprised that I was not informed that I was responsible for an additional $500.00 in charges, not included in the $15,000.00 that I am getting financed. All parties involved forgot to mention that tidbit of information. I guess I expected a little more organization. Anyway, I should be called within a week to notify me of clearance for the surgery.   I have been getting mostly negative responses fr

Decision Day

:eek:3/3/2007 Today I made the decision to have LapBand performed. My labs are scheduled for 3/7/2007, my pre-op is scheduled for 3/28/2007 and the surgery date is 3/29/2007. After many sleepless nights trying to decide what to do about my weight, fatigue, poor self-esteem and depression, I have made this decision. While at LapBand Solutions in Richardson, I arranged for financing for the $15,000 thru Capital One. I have 3 reasons for wanting to do this. I want to feel beautiful for my hus
