:clap2:Well today is better. I went for my first office visit since my surgery on Sept. 27,2007. I was glad to see my doctor. I was not so happy with him. I was hungry and felt I had left 2 messages and no one returned my calls. I wasn't in the state of emergency, no fever, nothing I felt I should call him on his cell about. But all in all I had left 2 messages. Sweet as he is, He turned it all around and said u know no matter what you can call my cell !!! Well I couldn't give a response so...He is very likeable and cute so what's a woman to do. I had lost 10 1/2 lbs so he was pleased wth me. I go back in 3 weeks for my 1st fill. He really shoots from the hip, no playing around kinda guy. Kinda harsh buts says he can't sugar coat any part of this or we run with it. Simple we use any excuse in the world to make adjustments for our crazy life style. One thing that he told me the day before the surgery, which I have to say kinda made me stand up and take notice was... He was talking to 2 other women besides myself, all getting the surgery & says look all three of yall ladies are wearing slip on shoes. So you can just throw them on and throw them off. Saying yall have made adjustments for your obesity. Which while thinking kinda pissed me off, but I had to be real or I will never get to the bottom of why I was ever over weight in the 1st place. Like he mentioned grabbing a chair without arms. I guess things we never really take notice of. My thing was seems like every time I went there everyone was larger than me. Yeah like me being 257 lbs. was small. What a joke, so I was justifiing me being severly morbitly obese. Just another excuse to excuse my lifestyle. Like a drug addict, well I only smoke a little weed or alcohol, I drink only on weekends, I'm not on the streets making an a$$ out of myself or beating my kids or the cops being at my house cause someone was out of control. Just all excuses to justify why we do what we do. By the way I do not do drugs or drink alcohol, lol So I know 1 thing for sure I have to get down to the real facts of why I seemed t not be happy , which I have loads of fun, or just seem to want to destoy my life. One thing about all this surgery, yeah I want the fine body, but my health was falling so much, I just want to be lighter & live so much longer !!! Now there I said the real TRUTH!!! :clap2:

6 days post- op , Hi it finally quit raining here. 6 in. in 1 day. I awoke today feelin really good. Nothing to eat but a shake but it seems I am ok with that. Still no smoking , 1 week today. It is a day by day thing with me. That way I won't feel like a looser. Like telling people oh I quit smoking and start back again. I guess I need to watch it today. Just cause I am feeling good , I can't overdo it. I am washing some clothes now. I guess I will put real clothes on soon. It just seemed easier to wear night clothes cause I wasn't going anywhere & more comfy. My belly really feels good today. Soon I can have something more like real food. I wanted to so stay on what the doctor ordered cause I read that is where band slippage comes in. I know I don't want any set backs for sure. Well seems the scale looks lighter . Time only tells. Lots to look forward to. :confused:

Today I finally decided to take a real shower. I was sponge bathing which was ok but... I washed my hair and I feel alot better. I am still taking pain meds. to sleep more to rest to heal. I think in the next couple days I will get a little less sleep and try to do somewhat a little more. Not wanting to rush myself. It is just this really strange feeling I get like when I get up I want to burp and there is pressure and It hurts a tiny bit. Not sure if it's gas or cause I was smoker. I still haven't smoked since September 26,2007. I really hate the smell right now. It doesn't take alot to upset my stmach being on jello, protien shakes, broth , all liquids. I look forward to my first meal. I know I will have to take it slow cause I really could cause my body shock being I haven't alot to eat. I have to say I am taking this well. Well it's 5 days today since my surgery. I think the scale said 2 lbs. lighter, not sure. That doesn't really interest me alot right now. Me getting better is my concern, so I will pay attention later to the other stuff. Also here at my home has been raining almost since my surgery which is good I guess. My hubby says he might take e for a ride later. It's the little things lately that matter.:rain:

My first week...
· Busy296 · 10/01/2007 20:39
On Sept 27,2007 was my surgery. I am doing well today. For some reason I thought it woul be easier. No one claimed this to be hard so why not. I guess when I found out was in the hospital when the nurse says watch it you just ad major surgery. I was like huh...The pain meds make me sleepy. I am hungry. I am on shakes. This is the 4th day according to them , the 1st day is counted as the surgery date. It is boring but I will handle this. I wanted rest from my job, I got it.I didn't picture my vaction time being this. But it will be worth it.:phanvan
