Its been a while....
Aug 01, 2008
It has been a long time since I have logged on here. I am now 6 months and 1 week post op. I have lost a whopping 115 pounds! And I feel wonderful! If I'd of know I was going to feel this good, I would have had the surgery a long time ago.
I added a photo that was taken 2 weeks ago while I was in Canada. I even look happier now than I did a year ago. What a difference.

Almost 1 month post op
Feb 17, 2008
I am almost at the one month post op point. I am down 52 pounds from my highest weight of 375. I am just exstatic about it too. My knees are feeling great and I can walk again with out pain.
I went to the bar with hubby last Friday and the people were just so happy to see that I am doing so well. They aren't the only ones. I am happy I am doing so well.
I go back for my 1 month post op appt. on Tuesday. Hopefully everything goes well.

Less than 24 hours to go
Jan 22, 2008
I'm dancing right along now. I am down to my last 24 hours until my surgery. I dont know if I am more nervous or more excited to get it done. Maybe a bit of both. I just cant wait to be healthier.Jodie is having dreams that something will go wrong. He is just nervous. He doesn't like that I have tobe at the hospital 2 hours before the surgery. Try to explain to him that there is paperwork and things still to do like talk to the anesthiesiologist and stuff. The he is like...Oh . OK.
The bowel cleaning isn't so bad on day 2. People really like to exagerate about it asnd I was dumb enough to beleive them. I am al least able to get out of bed and do some cleaning today before I go on my sabatical. LOL! This is going to be a mini vacation for me. No kids to clean up after. And when I get home, if this palce isn't as clean as I left it, I'll raise hell.
The clear liquid diet is challenging. I mean you watch other in the family eat dinner and there you are with your broth. Why did I make them pot roast? In due time I'll have mine.
I just keep reminding myself why I am where I am and why I am on the clear liquid diet and it all goes away. You'll hear more from me when I get home. Wish me luck!
6 days to go!

I am down to my last six days. And the waiting is just eating at me. I wish my day were here. I am ready for this! I have the kids at home to help out with chores and stuff. They all know thier parts. I dont know if I am ready for the bowel cleansing, but I'll do it if it means a healthier me! People at work are being very supportive. Which is odd for the place I work. They usually stab ya in the back, but who knows what they are saying behind my back. Who cares!? Not me! They dont know what I am going through. A few do because they have been there too. But everyone is being supportive. I am sure as the day gets closer I will find myself nervous, but I am willing to be nervous than rather be fat and unhealthy my whole life. Here is to my happiness and healthiness!
