A New Beginning

Happy birthday to me! Tomorrow I turn 50. According to my bucket list, I was supposed to go skydiving to mark this momentus occasion but was fearful that when I hit the ground I would leave a small spaceship size hole because of my weight! LMBO No longer a worry now that I am down 85 lbs, I decided I should wait until I get my kids out of school first before doing something so daring.   I went shopping and bought new clothes with the help of the best mother in a law a girl could have. Had

Light Is Shinig Bright!

So, I have jumped back into reality - summer vaction is over and I am feeling very good! I still have issues with some foods 8 weeks out but it is all good. I have to remind myself that I am now a sipper not a guzzler! LOL I like my water in gulps not sips so that is always on the back of my mind but I have finally made it out of the pity-pit! I have a dear friend who just had this surgery 2 days ago, as well as having her bladder lifted. She is experiencing the same pain on her right sid

Good Day In The Neighborhood

Good day world! I woke in much better spirits today! Feel like the pit I had fallen into is gone and my world is do-able once again. So, got up, had my isopure and headed out to work the cows. Gotta love living in the country! Came home and cooked traditional breakfast for everyone. I got to enjoy a meal with my family...been 3 long weeks since I was able to sit and converse, feel like it was ok I wasn't eating like everyone else but still getting my over medium egg (1/2) and 3 country ha

Rollercoaster

So, has it been a day or what!? It is amazing how I wander along this crazy journey called life, feeling sane one minute then breaking out in tears the next. Feel like I am reliving every loss I have experienced and now adding the loss of my stomach and the ability to feel normal. I know it gets better with time. I have always beeen one to bounce back quickly after surgery. I was reminded today that this just wasn't any surgery - how quickly I forget and remember in one breath!     It is

A New Day Today

So, woke up feeling rather normal this morning. Had my oatmeal for breakfast -(pureed time) YUMMY. I actually started enjoying my oatmeal. Next week I will go back to my oatmeal with flaxseed. Tired of eating suagr free popsicles to help with my hydration. Drinking G2 to help with it. Forgetting to take my vitamin at night, Morning ritual coming along nicely. Still wondering why I went through with this - and trying to let that go as it is time to move forward. My newest friend , Ann M

It's A New Day...

So, been a few days since I have posted anything. Feeling remarkably good. Have my tired spots - out of energy by the afternoon.   Jumped back into life by attending workshops all week as well as assisting with provctoring make-up exams. Feels good to be inthe swing of things again.   I have gone on-line and ordered a variety of protein shooters. I have tried being creative with creamy vanilla - adding a piece of banana, adding some cinammon, using strawsberries...I gag everytime. Tried

Feeling Overwhelmed

I wish to start off by saying I have nover blogged before so I have no idea if what I am saying is the right thing or if I am even close to what a blog is for. I figure this is my journey so it is all good.   So I am one week post-op and I have begun to question why I did this. I have no idea why this is coming up as I have worked so hard to get this done. I was denied by insurance 4 years ago because I had no co-morbid obesity issues other than my weight. I called my insurance company ev
