Did You Get Your Eyes Full?

I'm feeling a teeny better today and I will take that!! i am so ready for this disgusting, painful, bulky drain to be out but that won't be until Monday. Now that I have given my obligatory "health update" I can move on.   My phone came up missing while I was in the hospital. I know it was on the table that goes across the bed. A nurse came in to change my linens and then it was gone! I am not in any way insinuating that it was stolen. It could have been picked up with my tray. Wherever it wa

More Tape And Less Boobs!

Today was a rough day. I actually cried and anyone who knows me knows that I don't cry. I am so hungry!! i have been sipping, sipping and sipping on Isopure, chicken broth, popsicles and water. I have a whole week until I see my doc for my post op check up. Therefore, I have a whole week until I can be moved up to full liquids.   I decided I would attempt to change the dressing on my bandage where my drain is. I was obviously doing this solo after my shower. First, I wasn't dry enough. Done.

Mommy, That Was A Good Fart! I'm Proud!

I like to play with colors but I don't know how to color code a fart..unless it becomes a skid mark!   Soooo, I am 4 days post-op and feeling a little out of it. I feel dizzy, naseaus, and bloated! However, I am happy to report that I was not in as much pain as i would have thought. My nerves had me worked up more than necessary. Surprise! My only pain really came from the gas. I have been walking at all hours of the day and night to get of some gas. My 10 year DAUGHTER heard me pass gas earl

Surgery Tomorrow! Eeek!

I chose green for my font color for a reason that I will get to in a moment. The huge news is My surgery is in 7 hours and I am sleepy but obviously not asleep!   I am nervous but surprisingly calm. I wonder what the heck I will be like in the morning?!? I told the nurse that until I am knocked out I am subject to walking out from my nerves. She didn't believe me. All I have to say is...SAY I WON'T! :ph34r:   I hit 16 lbs loss this morning and got out of the 300's! Wooooo hooo!!!!!!   Now

I Lied.....

Okay, okay! I lied but not intentionally. I said I would not neglect my blog and what have I done? tsk, tsk, tsk.   I have my surgery Wednesday morning and I am starting to become a chicken! I don't just mean a little nervous I mean full on growing feathers! Eeeek! All I can think about right now is if I am making the right decision to let some man cut more than half of my stomach off.   I will say that I have lost 14.5 lbs so far! Woohoo! Of course it's been tough but worth it. Also, on a b

No More Neglecting The Blog! Still On Pre-Op Diet

Okay so....I am still on this pre-op diet that consists of a cup of spinach a day for solids. I loved spinach 7 days ago but since it's the only thing I get to chew and have been chewing on it every day for a week...not so much anymore.   I always try to use a positive when I use a negative so I am happy to report that it is paying off. I am losimg weight steadily as I make every effort to shrink my liver for surgery.   I feel like I am always "Changing lanes" when it comes to the actual da

My Story--Super Short Version

My name is Angie and and I am mommy to a year old little girl. I have had weight issues on and off for many years. I have successfully lost weight and felt fabulous. Of course I fell off the wagon and I am here now! I am a veteran of the U.S. Army (as ashamed as I am to say that because of my weight).   As of today, I have been through the insurance approval process and I am 3 days in on my pre-op diet.   I went to the seminar on 4/19/2012, consultation on 4/24/2012 and scheduled for surger
