I am officially getting surgery on the 13th of October!!!YEEEPPPPEEEEE!!! Been doing the pre-op diet and doing good!

My time is coming and soon I will join the BANDERS!! Im excited and nervous all at the same time. I know I have made a lot of strides just by sticking to the pre-op diet and also that I only drink water. So I know that I can do anything once I make it my goal. My goal now is to take care of ME!!

Counting down to surgery.........

OKay....I havent been on here in a good while. Had a bump in my plans on getting surgery in August. Doctors!! We had to wait almost an entire month for 1 doctor to send his report so that the paperwork could get turned in to theinsurance company. Now I am on the post-op diet. Insurance and myself are waiting for a surgery date. Hopefully it will be the first of October.

Almost 1 week mark....lost the 5 lbs of weight I gained from surgery. But I still can see that I am bloated in my port area. Stomache looks lopsided. Hunger is starting to set in more. Loud belly noises. Tomorrow I can have shakes and some yogurt added to my diet. Still a little sore in port area. Having a hard time sleeping at night cause I cant get comfortable enough. ***NOTE: If you are having problems with diarreah which is common drink gatorade or pedialyte. Gas X strips are wonderful...

Had my first doctors appointment. All is well...moved on to mushy foods.

If your body can handle the shakes then drink them...Dr. Mora told me to go ahead of clear liquid stage too.

Trying to get motivated in doing my exercises. I know I can DO IT!!

Every pound seems like a VICTORY!! It feels good to see the weight slowly coming off. I'll take it ONE pound at a time OFF as long as it's coming OFF! So glad I made the decision!!

TODAY is the BIG DAY!!!

OMG....shake didnt agree with me this morning. Soreness is going away but discomfort with sleeping still there. Will take it easy and add my shakes a little at a time.

You truely are an inspiration to us all. You have given me a look at my future. You have done an amazing job. You should have a page giving diet and exercise information for helping all us get to where you are. I know I am always looking for information.

Today is a better day....got a shake down and no problems!! YEAH!!

Waiting to find out if I will be scheduled to have my surgery on the 13th of October!!! Hate this waiting game and really hate that the doctors office seems to drag their feet to get me answers!!

Pre-Op

I love seeing the scale go DOWN!!

NEW YEAR- NEW ME!! Losing weight slow & steady! Can't wait to get to ONEdland!!

OMG...1 week left!! I can't wait!!

NEW YEAR- NEW ME!! Losing weight slow & steady! Can't wait to get to ONEdland!!

Got my FIRST fill......2cc's!! It is a weird exsperience. Eating regular food now. Chicken and Fish is easier to eat then steak.

Starting to exercise more.

losing weight really slow right now!! Exercising more and seeing inches rather than pounds. I'll take it!!

The EXCITEMENT is BUILDING!!

Every day I am feeling better. But I still hurt around the port area. I also havent been able to eat or drink a whole lot. I am trying my best to get any food and water in. I know its bad but I do like seeing the pounds drop off. Vitamins are a major thing I focus on taking daily. You really are amazed on how much you really want to eat everything other then your diet foods because you are so sick of eating soup. Soupy cream of wheat has been a nice change for me. Cream soups are also a ni...

Ugh....I feel like I could eat everything and anything. I need a fill!! Gotta wait till the 9th. I haven't lost any weight but now I have moved on to other foods. Soon solids!!
