1 year! (Yesterday) surgery February 20, 3013
Wt: 287 1 week post op
Wt:130 TODAY!!
Finally feel like I have pretty much learned my new body and way of life. There have FOR SURE been ups and downs. Days I hated myself for getting surgery , and days I just wanted to give up. It's been a long year, but I made and today I am happy. Everyday is a new day and I enjoy living life now. The ONE thing that still drives me nuts though: I want to be ME.. I DO NOT want to spend my life being consumed with that fact that I had surgery! It does NOT need to be the topic of every conversation. I don't care to have everyone I know or meet ,know about my surgery. I really feel that people don't understand this. I changed positions within my work place and I avoid the people I worked with for 2+ years. Because if I see any of them the ONLY thing they can talk about is my surgery. Now don't get me wrong, it's very kind of them when they say nice things about how good I look. However, I just want it to be normal. Ya know?!? Chit chat about work and life. Things like that. I mean when a girl gets breast implants, you obviously notice. But that isn't the topic you typically talk about. Does anyone else have this issue? Or am I just too sensitive? I never say anything. I just avoid contact. I guess it's my issue with the fact that most people who have not had this surgery think it's the lazy persons way out . When WE ALL know that is just a load of crap! LoL. I think we ALL deserve a huge pat on the back for surviving this procedure and dealing with all that goes with it. ????

124lbs down. 30lbs to go

So after trying on 4 shirts before dinner Tuesday I've decided this weekend I am putting an old laundry basket in my closet, if I try something on and it looks frumpy it goes in the basket to donate....curious how quickly the closet will get cleaned out and 'force' me to purchase more clothes!

Last night was my first full night at work. I am just happy I made it through the whole night ... everyday is a learning day...

Ok so today I feel better then yesterday and I think I might be headed on the right track I stopped at 4 this morning at a local store to see what I might be able to try to eat. I think I figured out my issues from last night. NO MORE MILK FOR ME! None! I drink an 8 oz shake yesterday before work and even with 1/2 % milk , it was hell . I picked you some of those cheese Peanut Butter crackers to see if that would slow things down. Boy was I scared to try those. But all went great. Eat 2 crackers every couple hours and felt much better. I love that I read every label every time now to check for Protein and sugar levels I also bought ham and as soon as I get brave enough I am going to do a thin slice of ham with a slice of cheese wrapped in it. Also for the first time this AM I drank alittle too fast and learned my lesson there too! Talk about waves in your pouch . Omgodness! That came back to visit . So I feel like I am going the right direction and couldn't be happier about that

Sooooo, I go back to work tomorrow night and I am looking forward to the interaction I have decided that it is up to me to get this left side pain to go away I got a 1/2 Cup of spinach down today , some Popsicles and get this! I made myself get on the treadmill for a 1/2 hour tonight. I am tired of not feeling well and I am done with it it felt great to walk for a 1/2 hour I have now taken my shower and will ice my left side a bit and pray for the best . I am just SO excited to start my new life RE-birth February 20th , 2012 <~~~I really love that you guys do this lol new goal for tomorrow = figure out how to eat more!
So , how is everyone doing tonight? Anything new or maybe a should know?
- I just realized I am officially 3 weeks post op today.. Lol

Congrats!!! I am SO happy to hear you are doing so well 12 lbs keep up the great work.

So sorry for those having complications. I want to share my good news but I almost feel guilty doing so. I'm 12 days post op and having very little pain. I haven't used my pain meds since I got home. I had my first post op visit today and I've lost 12 lbs in 12 days! I'm very pleased! And I get to start puréed foods tomorrow! Woop! Wood! =)

Ok , the doctor stated that the (possible ) abscess is under my pouch. Which is not where my pain is. Also I have a hematoma in the muscle on my left side. So the good news is that it is not serious . Bad news is I am still in pain and I get to play the " lets wait and see" game. I hope everything just goes away. I just wang to be able to do things without pain. I have another appointment next week to check in we will see. P.s. my labs are all good !

I want go to the gym SO bad , but the pain in my left side and the fact that I am having a hard thing getting all my Protein too , is cause me to be very tired easily also ... I hope it get better sooner than later

Yeah another POOP celebrated!

I finally had my first BM this morning!!! I felt so relieved.

It's crazy cause I am 180 at this moment n ppl is telling me to stop loosing weight cause I look to skinny n I don't agree I have 20 more pounds to go its hard but I know I can do it

I just took a 1/2 of a 10mg melatonin to see if I can sleep tonight. The loratab that I haven't had since Tuesday has kept me all wired up, Benadryl did nothing for me last night. Praying I get some sleep tonight!

Congrats it will be your time before you know it
