Getting it together!

Mar 14, 2009

I haven't been here in awhile too disgusted with myself! Gained back weight got back up to 204 but think I finally got it together and am back down to 195. Emotional eating my biggest downfall!!!!

Back to work!

Jul 29, 2008

Well I saw the Dr today and he released me to go back to work Aug 4th. I have to admit I'm glad I was really getting bored at home. I am at 205lbs which is a total of 27 since beginning the preop liquid diet. After reading other profiles I sometimes feel like it is not enough but I will just keep on and hope the numbers keep dropping. School starts Aug 18th so between that and work hopefully I will be to busy to dwell on it as much. Now if I could just stay off the scale ...........LOL

G-tube out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jul 15, 2008

Well just got home from the g-tube being removed how HORRIBLE!!!! Thank God it's out! Dr. Debord had a surgery resident take it out and it hurt like hell and sprayed got on my new shirt :( So Dr. Debord kinda loudly said to her you didn't deflate the bulb she's like yes I did I'm laying there like who cares this crap hurt. So I go to make my next appt and my stomach felt really warm I look down and the gauze over my site was draining so much it went thru my shirt and onto my shorts the resident ran and plopped a ton more gauze on my stomach. Hopefully this will stop soon. They said it should within 12-24 hrs. Anyway no more hardware YEAH! This was the worst part of the whole thing. Happy skies from here on out!

1st post op dr appt

Jul 09, 2008

7-9-08 Well I had my first post op appt yesterday and got my staples and jp drain out! Yeah! Now I can't wait for this G-tube to come out it hurts sooo bad but I have an appt for next Tuesday to have it removed thank God! By the dr scale I have only lost 13lbs so I'm a little bummed. I am going to stop weighing constantly cause it is affecting my spirits. I am going to concentrate on vitamins, protein intake and exercise. I am currently doing 10 min a day on the treadmill. There was some excellent news today however, my college called and said someone dropped the RN  program and I was next on the list so I get to do the RN program instead of LPN which is what I wanted to begin with so there is a huge blessing!!!!! I'll keep ya posted.

Happy 4th of July

Well today was my first really hard day mentally. Watching everyone eat barbeque and whatnot sucked, especially as I sat and ate my yogurt :( On a brighter note I weighed again this morning (I know I should quit that) and I am down to 214. Yeah! Only 12lbs from my first goal. I finally found a pretty good tasting way to get my protein too and not too expensive. I am using vanilla Body Fortress Whey Protein with Silk soy milk (vanilla as well) tastes just like a shake. I have been lactose intolerant from my first surgery and I have really missed milk. I never tried soy cause I thought is would be nasty but I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks to OH cause that is what made me give it whirl. So now I can get my protein in which was my biggest problem!!! I'll keep ya posted.

6 Days Out

Jul 01, 2008

Well here I am 6 days post revision and am doing really well. The only thing that sucks is this stupid G tube and JP drain. I did not have either one the first time. I see my doctor a week from today I hope he takes the staples, and both tubes out but could I possibly be that lucky LOL! I am doing this blog to help keep myself focused, knowing others can see this and maybe help me along. I don't have many family and friends and sometimes I fell like they think oh here's this again like I'll fail. I know my doctor acted like that what support !!!  I'm gonna show him. Not like his program was lacking or anything 8 years ago oh that's right there wasn't one hmmmmmmmmmm! I'll keep ya posted.
