I Went To The Er This Morning ...

I had to breakdown and go to the ER ... for the last 2 days each night around 9pm or 10pm I would get sick to the point of throwing up. Friday I brought some sugar-free popsicles and had one on the way home and one around 8pm. The one on the way home went down very smoothly. I was so happy. I felt the impending doom of dehydrating was over I FOUND something that I could get down ... NOT!!! They made me earl ... dry-heave ... and my lips where red. Because of that bowel prep (which I can't get o

On The 8Th Day After Surgery ...

I am able to drink water with lime ... Whooooo Hooooo!   After thinking that I was experiencing hell, I rounded the corner to feeling o.k. Today is the first day that I felt human! The gas bubble popped and I was able to drink about 20oz. I realized that I don't like the taste of gatorade or propel because they both remind me of the bowel prep juice. And I wasn't a sweet drinker anyway.   My next goal is to get in some protein. I was able to have an once of soup today. It was tasty but I di

Gas Alert!

Im finally being released from the hospital today !!!! I had the worst case of gas I've ever experienced. I wasnt able to hold down any liquids until yesterday. I don't have any pain from the incisions just from the gas & reflux! My mon says it looks like I've lost 20lbs because my 2nd chin is disappearing ... lol!   I hope & pray that you upcoming sleevers but experience gas the way I did. The only relief is walking it out! I was up and walking every 2 hours, walk even if you don't

I Feel Real Crackish Right Now ... Lol!

In less than 2 hours I will be on liquids only and ALL I can think of are Hot Krispy Kreme doughnuts ... LOL!!!!!   I am sooooo thankful and grateful for this forum there is nowhere else I would feel comfortable saying that without judgement. I just pray that I make it through the night without breaking down.   EVERYone pray for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments From My Intervention

The comments from last night were "why do something that drastic, you aren't that big, my stomach sits in my lap too, you know it didn't work for our other friend, she's still big, you can just exercise and get the weight off, girl, that BMI chart is not made for black people, we are built differently, are you sure you want to do that?" All just silliness!!!!!!   I have been told that since I am tall I carry my weight well, but I am tired of carrying it!!! I am 5'9 and weight 302lbs. To me I

4 More Days ... Whooo Hooo!

I have 4 more days to go.   I went out to dinner with some friends tonight and I walked into an intervention. They don't want me to have surgery!!!! I was floored because these friends are as overweight or more than I am. I thought that they would be more encouraging because they KNOW how it feels to be overweight. I am sooooooooo amazed that my "skinny" friends are more encouraging. These are friends that I see rarely, so it is not a huge deal. But I ONLY told them because they are overweight

7 Days Until Surgery ...

I'm scared for soooo many different reasons. Here's what I am thinking ....   1. I've gained 8 pounds since my initial appointment (9/7/11) and I have my pre-op appointment on Friday (1/6/2011). 2. This 2 week low carb/protein diet is a little challenging.But I think it has helped me lose 2 of the 8 pounds I've gained. I know I gained the weight due to me having to take depo shots. 3. I need to lose 6lbs in 2 days ... who does that???? 4. My co-workers don't know what type of surgery I am h
