  1. 3 weeks already

    · Rosi · 04/04/2007 22:58

    Wow.3 weeks have gone by already. Surgery was not bad at all. Very tired when we got home. They really seemed to rush me out though.I thought I was supose to get up and walk and go for a P but that never happened. I remember them telling me I had to get up and get dressed. Next thing I knew they were walking me out to find Paul And we were on our way out. All is well anyway. Wasnot hungry for the first week,but gradually it has come back. Couldn't wait to get off of the fluids and have some mushies. I started them a couple of days early...but everything seems to go down fine. I am really shocked at how little I can eat. it just becomes very uncomfortable ( more back ache than anything)? Haven't had a PB yet and I really don't want one. I am chewing really well even though I am only eating mushies, but i do need to take more time...I am too rushed...This is something I really have to work at. I had very little water today and then had some potatoes done in the bullet after I ate I felt really light headed, like I was going to pass out. I went and laid down. Don't know what that was all about. I wonder if it had anything to do with not drinking. I find that a challenge some days. Not use to sipping all day. Another learning curve I suppose. Working on my second mug of Ice tea now...
    Had a very down day. Didn't do anything. Even went to bed twice. I have no energy at all. I think I need to Phone Dalia and get some more vitamins. I always get feeling great and think I don't need to take them anymore than I hit a Wall...AHHHHHHHHH I
    I am going to go and call her now. I also have my period, that probably isn't helping anything. I am not hungry just bored and miss eating. Didn't realize i grazed so much. Need to be able to go out side and do something away from the kitchen, but I need energy as wwell to do that.
    They are calling for cold and snow for the Easter Weekend..just when I though it was Spring. Damn IT.
    Going to cottage for our first easter there. What to cook???????
    What to even buy?????/ I don't know what anyone is going to want to eat . Especially April. Frozen meals sound good to me. Salad for Sarah & Mike. Going to try to have a relaxing weekend..............???????????????

  2. 5 days till pre op diet

    · Rosi · 02/26/2007 05:38

    feeling a bit better today. Went shopping to costco with Paul ,,,he's the one who suggested it, ...go figure? Had very little to eat again today .don't want the after math to be too much of a shock to the system.Really wish the operation was this week .really want to get it started. I will probable be kicking my self that I even thought that in a couple of weeks ..When I am not able to keep water down.. Think positive...

  3. confused??

    · Rosi · 02/24/2007 19:44

    I guess it is very normal to have all kinds of emotions running though my head.Reading the forum I can see that I am not along. Which mades it a little easier.I snapped at Paul last night ..Just asked him when was the last time he gave me a compiment and I said it wouldn't kill him to say that I looked nice once in a while. HE got all mad????????????? and didn't speak to me all night ( julies wedding) asshole. But I guess his non answer said it loud and clear that he doesn't think that I look good and has no reason to compliment me. It really hurts , the reality of it ,,but I guess it is true and he is just being kind by not saying anything negitive either. I must say that he never says anything bad about the way I look but he never says anything possitive either. sometime I would just like to hear that he notices me ar all. Is that to much to ask aftr being together for more than 30 years????? Am I just being to sensitive with this surgery on my mind.I know this is something I have to do to get my life back.I really do feel that my life is over and I don't have anything to look forward to at this point. IBut I am still so nervous as to weather I am doing the right thing or am I just grasping at straws again. I have tried so many diets in the past is this just going to be another failed attempt at something I just can not get done.. so much emotion, conected to food.thats all I have left some days. I feel so alone most of the time. ahhhhh having a really bad day I guess.

  5. First thoughts

    · Rosi · 02/21/2007 06:28

    Wow what a day/made it to TO and back with out getting lost.:clap2: / had my visit with Nasrine /very nice/ very comfortable/ Spoke to 5 people in the waiting room before appt/ very interesting to talk to people face to face that had the operation. one with complications???? Her band broke???:confused: :faint: :faint: I was very surprised that my surgery can be done so soon.March 15th 2007 is MY BAND DAY!!!!!!:omg: Today is the 20th of February. Post op diet of just cottage chees & yougart should be interesting to say the least:confused: I have to talk to Arlene when they get back from holidays about time off??? They said I should be able to return to work on the Monday after my surgery:confused: I hope that is the case. I am still going over in my head weather I tell everyone that I am doing this. I think I will as I could use all the support I can get. I did tell Julie At work today ,,why I'm not sure. i think i just wanted to tell someone other than my family to see what she had to say. not much/just about the complications / well I think that is with any surgery/especially when you weight 300.:omg: I want to talk to Jan about it but I don't feel this is a good week /with the Wedding On Friday. I will wait until next week.I need to go have a chest xray tomorrow and ecg and blood work. hoping I can get it all done at Pine St.This is the only thing on my mind........I guess that understandable . I really do feel I am doing the right thing / I have tried so many ways/ I feel this will be the best tool to help me. I was very glad to get The complete nod from Bordman. He knows how much I have tried to battle this demon/when I get some weight off I definatly want to change these drugs that I'm on.Hopefully he will be in agreement. Oh the Higher powers :heh: I fell great about changing this in My life :kiss2: You Go Girl:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
