Entries in this blog

I am 8 months post-op and 92 lbs down! I am loving my self more and more and enjoy the new life I have been given. The best part is that my back doesn't hurt like it did before and my knees sing praises of joy instead of screaming in pain. I am currently off all my medication and feel much younger then I used to! It is also nice how my husband finds me very sexy!   Well my journey so far has not been easy. I am trying to find new ways of getting my protien down (sorry but those protien
Today is day 5 of my liquid diet with a surgery date of May 8th. I am not doing to bad and have not cheated once, however, I have a throat infection and now I am on an antibiotic. This sucks big time being in pain, but at least I am not hungry. I am in hopes that this time goes by fast and this infection clears up before surgery. I am going to be so mad if I have to postpone because of this.
I have no officially done all that I need to and seen the doctor as many times as I needed to. I am now in the process of getting a date which should come next week. I can't believe I am already here. My emotions get the better of me sometimes and I even get a little giddy when I think about it. I am about to become re-born in my eating habbits and portion control. I can't wait to gain back my life and my activities.   My youngest son said to me the other day...."mom will I still recogn
I am so amazed at how fast this process has gone for me. Seems like when I first started going through this that it was going to be a LONG drawn out process. I have drug my feet a few some of them, but here it is April and I should have a date for Surgery some time next week. I am excited and scared all at the same time. My son came up to me the other day and said "Mommy, I'm not sure how I am going to feel with you being skinny.." I looked at him and said what do you mean, the only thing t
I have done the steps, accepted that I am over weight, took the steps to see the doctor, asked some questions, had the blood test and went to the seminar. I am now in the process of seeing the cardiologist, pulmonologist, dietician, and therapist. I have to wait a month to see them, but I am willing to wait and do what I need to personally to get myself prepared for what is to come. I was also given a tentative month for surgery and it looks like April it is. So many emotions each day seem t
Saw the doctor yesterday and it couldn't have gone any better!!! Our converstaion was like we had known each other for years. He didn't beat around the bush and told me that I had a lot of work to do. I am totally ready for this and willing to do whatever it is I have to... I was able to have labs drawn that same day and so the process is officially started, AND to top everything else off, I have already been approved by my insurance. In about 3 months I should be ready for surgery! I can't
I found a poem a few years ago after coming back from a mission trip to Africa.... I came acrossed it again today and it helped calmed my nerves for my appointment tomorrow.   BE THANKFUL   Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to?   Be thankful when you don't know something For it gives you the opportunity to learn.   Be thankful for the difficult times. During those time yo
Hello it's me again.... I have about T-minus 5 days and counting to see the doctor for the first time and start the process of a new me. I think it's crazy that my nerves are starting to take control over me and all the other emotions that can go with it. I am not sure, but I think I may be driving my husband crazy. I have called on my insurance and the surgery is approved, but I have to have 3 months of monitered doctor visits. Piece of cake right? Just makes me want to be pushy and have t
Today starts the process in my new journey. Many discussions with my husband has lead up to this point and now it's time to either get the ball rolling or lay it to rest. Well tonight I started the process and went to a seminar about gastric surgery. My first appointment to see the doctor is on January 29th and I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time. My goal is to have my blood drawn that same day and try to get the other appointments rolling from there also. I know that this
