Today marks my six week post op anniversary. I am doing well and have joined the Y! I enjoy working out and am excited to see my body change. I am a little frustrated at the slow weight loss, did not expect it to be this slow. I have not losing much the last few weeks. Hopefully this new exercise routine will help boost my weight loss. Are other people experiencing this?

Well i made it through surgery! My surgery did not go as expected. I had a lot of scar tissue from my c-section 5 years ago and when my surgeon went in to perform my surgery he found the scarring to be extensive. It took him over an hour to peal back all the scar tissue. But the WLS went extremely well after he took care of the scar tissue. When I awoke, i was in a lot of pain. My back was in as much pain as my stomach. I had been on my back since 7:30am and when I awoke in my room it was 3pm. Having all that weight on my back and not being able to move caused me quite a bit of discomfort.  I also had trouble going to the bathrom. Those hospita beds are not comfortable at all. I had an i.v. in the bend of my arm and those leg massagers on both legs, back hurting and stomach hurting. Not comfortable. I was able to go home the next day and now it has been two days post op and i am feeling better. I am in the process of trying to figure out how to take in all the fluid  I need to stay hydrated. It is difficult since my stomach can't withstand more than a few sips at a time. All in all I am feeling better and happy that I did it. I look at my son and smile. He says he wants to go down the slide with him on my lap, that is my goal!  

 I began this day feeling good, focused and at ease. I had to drink that god awful drink, I got cherry flavor. It has a taste that is  undescribable. I received a call from my doctor that i needed to go to the hospital to draw more labs. My while blood cells are too high. She knows that is my norm, but needs the surgeon to have a base  line for after surgery. Annoyed and nervous is what i became. What if I can't have surgery? I have to have this surgery!  I am ready. With  my stomach rumblin, I ran to the hospital to do the lab test, in and out quickly. I got the call that everything should be fine from my doc around 5pm. Now I am feeling good, but than my friend calls and starts asking me if I am scared. Now i start feeling scared and nervous. I am going through the "what have i gotten my self into" thinking. Am I really ready for this change? I decided get off phone, not the kind of support I need.

 I have my son as my motivating factor, so any nervousness is washed away by the sound of his voice and look at his face. He said he wants to go down the slide with me, on my lap. We definately will! I am definately doing the right thing. I feel good and at ease. I will spend this evening surrounded by and focused on what is important. My family!


God bless the surgeons hands and guide them tomorrow, bless me and my family and those friends who are going through fhe same thing tomorrow. 
Love peace and happiness!
See ya on the flip side

I am freakin hungry!!!  I have started my liquid diet which is required prior to surgery. When I say liquid, I mean liquid. I am hungry as hell! 
I want to cheat already....but  I want my surgery more

SURGERY IS SCHEDULED, HERE WE GO!!!!!

I am so motivated to get strong and healthy. I just came from my second physical therapy session. I am realizing how much I baby my injuried knee and see how weak it actually is. I am motivated to get my leg strong again and get my whole body strong and healthy. I am motivated!

I am new to this website, but I have enjoyed what I have seen so far. I am embarking on the journey of my life, and I am so excited about choosing to live my life in a different way.  I am working towards getting the Gastric bypass surgery. I have met with my surgen and dieticians and have been making my way with all that goes along with preparing for surgery. I feel it is a bit over whelming, but I am doing the right thing for myself. I give give and give to others every day of my life but it is time  for me to give to myself as well. Life is what I choose!
