I'm more than a little over it
Jul 01, 2007
So now that I can eat solids, my weight has plateud,.. understandable, but what sucks is the whole no restriction deal, that's totally sucks vbecause i have not gained weight but at the same time; i have not lost any real weight either. Sooooo annoying and I dont get my fill until the 13th of july. blah
Down a little weight
Jun 03, 2007
So I most definately have been doing my own thing with my two weeks post-op liquid diet.. very smooth soups and what not; and also counting my calories like a mathemetician
And has it ever paid off.... I was 261, and I'm now 251 in less than one week post-op from surgery. I lost like three pounds before surgery- oh well, so not caring anymore.
I have been making sure that I don't go to the scale every hour, and weigh my self every few days.
I sneezed today and now I feel like I've opened the wound of all wounds on my incision, but I didn't-- lol

on the other side

so i made it out of my surgery god. sore beyond belief but no real pain. Before surgery however when i received my "relaxer" shot i was all over the plac- lol.
Now that i'm home I started my protein drinks and have been dealing with gas, but what wuld normally be called a little burp or fart; for me is like a momentus miracle whenever I can make either happen. Gross, but true.
Some on my friends who i thought would be supportive were, and others- including my boyfriend- didn't even call. But its cooli'm really not sweating the issue.
i will be glad thought when I get a chance to not be so flippin sore.... and i wonder if my fill in six weeks is going to be uncomfortable.

Stupid liquids
May 27, 2007
So I am two days before surgery, and I'm pretty sure that I am a failure at life- I suppose most people have trouble eating the required maximum of the liquid diet... I'm having trouble eating any of it.
Between the literal dump truck worth of vitamins I'm taking, the food makes me sick- it also makes me throw up too. I don't know what to do-- if I go in for surgery and they tell me I can't have it because I wouldn't eat enough I will literally scream at somone.
I mean really I'm paying out of pocket, and I have probably the most hectic schedules ever; I only have one week to be out of work before I have to get back, and not being able to have the surgery on tuesday will piss me off immensly.
And to boot, I think I have lost a total of like five maybe six punds-- What the hell.

Hi! i am doing okay- just got home from Mexico, but i am having the hardest time with my liquid diet; but what can you do. Having surgery next week tuesday- a little nerve racking but its cool.
A bunch of drama
May 08, 2007
Well today I received a surgery date!! It's May 29th.
But low key it took a minute of chaos to make it happen;
I received a call from the nurse saying that I needed to up my Vitamin, C and D; also my Iron levels. Then the chaos erupted. I had to go have an MRI earlier in the day to look for a flippin brain tumor due to my elevated labs because of my stupid PCOS. and then on top of that within ten minutes of leaving the MRI, I received a call saying that I had another eleveated level in my stomach- H Phylor- which makes ulcers and the like; So naturally i ask what can be done about this, and she tells me a 2,500 scope procedure!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I then tell her that I don't really believe that I will be doing that, and she told me that I had no choice, the scope or no surgery at all. But Rene, the scheduler from God, threw me a bone and said that I could just take the medicine for two weeks along with my liquid diet and that I would be fine then. Which works good for me.
Other than that, paying out the back doot for this surgery is going to make me broke until the first of June; bu on the up side, I'll be healthy, I wont have to buy food, I can't drink alcohol-- so really, what's there to spend money on? LOL

Who knew... Stupid Labs
May 04, 2007
I had both my appointments with the surgeon and the physch eval on the same day, and both went really well. I can now set up my surgery for the end of Mid to end of May!! The only thing slowing me down is my stupid, stupid, vitamin labs! Really who knew that knowing my B12 levels is the only thing keeping me from getting a surgery date.
I am a little nervous about the pre-op meeting though, i'm not quite sure what goes into it, but we shall see.
My doctor, Baker- is really nice, i only had two questions and I think that he was really excited to talk to someone who is young and as excited about the future for me as he is... lol
I'll write back when I get my surgery date

This happens really fast!
May 01, 2007
So I wanted to wait until I had my first appointment before I posted again.... By the way thanks for all of you for your support.
I went to my History& Physical, and after alot of poking and prodding, not to mention a crap load of vials of blood, I have my appointment with the Surgeon and the Phsych Eval-- on the same day--- TOMORROW. And from there- tomorrow- I get scheduled for surgery.
Holy Mother of Pearls
This is most definately alot faster than I ever would have imagined, now I have to get my mind together because low key, I thought it would take forever for all the appointments to happen. Wish me Luck!

In for a penny...

I went to my first seminar on thurs. Well I actually chickened out the first time, so it is really my second try at it. I felt slightly uncomfortable because I just can't help to think that I have let myself go to hell. But in reality I was diagnosed with Polysytic Ovarian Syndrome awhile ago, and it affects my metabolism, hormones and everything else you can imagine. I learned through research that weight loss can help overcome PCO; not to mention my horrible asthma might be able to be manaed also. But most of all I want to try and have children someday soon, and because of the PCO I can't- which is midly distressing... Oh well, my first official appointment is on the first of May- low key i'm pretty excited, but very nervous.
