Oct 18, 2007
So Here I am 6 months to the day from being out of surgery I go in for more! I need my gall bladder removed. I was having very sharp pains in the area below my ribs cage on the left side. They did a few tests and came out to say I had stones in the gall bladder.. SO I am recovering all over again!
Got to love it! My hair is really falling out and getting THIN!! I am going to work my protiens and getting more that I was belfore.
The pain of this surgery was not like the other surgery. I thank god for that!! THe other one was horrable and painful!
SO this is tolorable!! I am happy for that!
I have noticed I am able to sollow better than before and wonder if there was a stricture as well as the gall stones, i go into the dr on Wed. I am going to ask about that too!

So I am back in the hospital... this is 3 surgeries in 6 months... Now my gall Bladder has gall stones and needs to be removed. I am not very happy about this... I just am ready to put all this behind me and start my new life. I just really hope i did not do something I will later regret. So far I am very happy with the weight loss but I hope this is not going to be long term in and out of the hospital... my hair is very thin and starting to loose the curl. I hope this all comes bak.. I will totally focus on protien when I get out of here and able to eat more again!

I have not updated in a long time.. funny how time just flies from you!
I am able to eat more than before, meats are still VERY hard for me to get down. I still try to get protien drinks in, my hair is falling out .. not to too bad but falling out. They say it will stop soon. I started out weighing in at 275, I am currently 185 lbs. I had surgery approx 5 months ago almost 100 pounds in 5 months.. just amazing! SEX IS AWESOME!!!!! That is the best change! I can cross my legs, I am able to wear a 14 stretch jean, people come up to me and say I look great! I just cant get over how much I have changed. It is taking longer for my head to catch up with my body. Sometimes I forget how much weight I have lost... I never feel like anything will fit then when I put it on it is too big! That is great!
Eating is alright, defenitly not a favorite thing for me anymore! Some things are just so hard... others are easy.. ice cream seems to be the one thing that makes me sick... too much sugar will too but seems li can have a little but know my limits.

Been a hile so I thought I would update...
The weight has been coming off fine. Other than a few times I ate things that have gotton stuck I really havenot had many problems. My hair has started to fall out - so I cut my hair short and wait for it to finish. I have noticed I drink more protien shakes the weight comes off faster. I feel so much better about myself. I can cross my legs, clothes fist better- some all to well they fall off me. My self esteem is getting better. I almost feel like I am a normal sized person!
We got a bag of clothes from a friend and there was a AREO XL sweatshirt in there and I was going to just give it to me daughter, but thought what the heck I will try it on.. it fit! WITH ROOM TO BOOT!!! I could not believe it! I can wear name brand clothes noW!!! I guess it is harder for the mind to catch up with my body. I still feel size 24 275 lbs/ but my weight and my size arent that at all. I look in the mirror and see a Fat SANDRA but I think I really need to start taking a longer hard look at me cause the outside is changing.... 7 MORE POUNDS UNTIL WONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!! That will be awesome!!! I need to get better pics of me on here!
This year my girls and I are going to get family photos for the holidays.... the first time ever! They have always bugged why we never have them, I never wanted to take them cause of my size. I am excited for that!

My hair is starting to fall out!! I think I am going to cut my hair short so you no not noitce it thinning out. I have thin hair to begin with so you'll be able to see right through it if I don't' The curl makes it look thicker than it is... I have not had short hair in years!! So this will be a new adventure!

Ok- So I went back to work and got into my first accident. meaning a drug test and off equptment for a few days until results come back. WEll since I am on restriction I am unable to go back to work!! Just for a day... but nice to able to be home again! I am going garage saling, court (got a speeding ticket while off) running some errands, just going to ENJOY my day!!
Feeling great.. I think i am going to start to have to buy new clothes, mine are so baggy they are looking frumpy... I just don't have much money to be buying clothes i am not going to wear for very long but, I guess I can't be wearing clothes that look like they re hanging off me!
Some I can take the pants off without unbuttoning, that is a good feeling!!
I can see I will need my breats lifted- I want perky ones I can't ever remember having perking ones, my tummy will need to be lifted, but going to wait a full year before I really start thinking about it..
Geez I need to change that pic! my face is all chubby in that one that one used to be my skinny pic too!! LOL

Been a couple weeks since I have updated.
I have been doing well. I do not get sick anymore.. only if I eat something I shouldnt. I went back to work on the 16th, the first week has been hard. I hope this week will be easier. My foot is feeling better but not 100%. All I do at work is drive a forklift, so it is pretty easy. I am just using mucles I have not used in a while getting up and down fromthe lift. It was nice cause I got lots of people telling me they missed me and I looked good or just welcoming me back.It was nice to hear. Not to many people have asked me about the surgery, I thought more would, but thatsok. I am not really upset about it I just thought people would wonder.
Been busy, my daughter had a graduation party this past weekend. We been singing her up for college, getting ready for the party,just busy.

Well, starting to feel so much better from the foot surgery. I am supposed to go back to work on the 16th total of 3 months to the day from RNY surgery. Funny ho you r life can completely change in 3 months.
Wow hard to believe that 3 months have already gone by. I am losing like 5-8 pounds every 10 days or so.. I look forward to the day I am under 200. I am planning on a celebration soon as it reads 199.5. That will be the first time in years, I am not sure if I can even remember when I was in the 100's. mus have been when I in grade school. I dont really remember for sure. I just can't believe I am going to look so much better than ever before. I think at first I would miss food.. want to eat more than I could.. but I also think as the pounds come off I am not missing it as much. I don't think about it as much as I did before surgery, I don't life for food anymore. I htink I live for life. I havenot been able to get out and really start moving since my surgery becasue I had to have a foot surgery, but I do look forward to the days if going walking and other outdoorsy things.
I went to a moive last night... it is so nice to be able ti sit in a movie chair without feeling like I am overflowing the chair! It is just so nice!!
This is turning into a great thing!

Well I weighed in at 222 today... Pretty cool!! I am feeling goods, the only food issues I have are eating too fast and maybe not shewing food as wel as I should. I have not gotten sick on anything except eating too fast and getting things stuck.
It is nice.. I am glad I have not dumped, or worried about what to eat. I do have a hard time remembering to drink so that is what I am trying to work on a little. I did get a UIT from not drinking enough. I am currently on Meds to clear it up. I just need to drink more.
I was painting a roomthe other day and about fell over. Fainted or blacked out. I thinkit is from not drinking enough. NEED TO DRINK!
I have not seen 222 in like 18 years! I was in my early 20's when I saw that number... I just can't believe it. I can tell my size getting a little smaller but I am not sure how much. My head says I am still 270.. I hope to beunder 200 soon.
