 So here I am once more. Today I am feeling ok just a bit out of wack lol! I went to my 2wk post op visit. And Dr. Bhoyrul told me that I bruised my surgical site.....OUCH! Figures that is what the pain was all about. He told me to put Icy Hot on the areas around the incisons and I must say it has been like 4 or 5 days since and its working I don't feel as bad as before! I did not do it intentionally my son was chocking on a cheese stick and I had to perform the hemilich manuever on him. I was SOOOOOOO freaked out! And I know you are think you cannot do that in your state of recovery. But I had to do it. The hubster was asleep and dead to the world as he had worked a double that day. 

On somewhat of a brighter but questionable note. Dr. Bhoyrul told me that I was losing a pound a day. Strange I thought but nothing to worry about thus far he stated to me. Its just my body adjusting to all this non-yummy food lmao!

So I am on pureed foods.....its ho-hum and pretty tired of the chicken and tuna salads pureed. So I came upon eggfaces blog!!! Whoo-hoo!!!! She has some awesome recipes and I am dying to make a lot of them!

I wish I would have stumbled upon them sooner! What a relief it is to me as I have no idea how to make anythign any more!

Well that is it for me........hope everyone is having a good and safe 4th! Take care now!

 I am SO hungry and in TOO much pain! I am on clears till Weds. And I HATE it! I am tired of it, I cannot find a protein that is worthi while to hold down any more. My hubby just bought me muscle milk lite it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT ever try it!

My stomach hurts alot! I mean ALOT! The wounds whenever anything touches them. It sucks because I am SO full of gas!

I hate being like this I cannot do anything and when I do need help with anything no one is here or can help me. 

I am starting to feel like I should not have even done this. I mean bad enough that now everyone is like oh this is the price you pay for over eating. WHAT the HECK!

 SO here I am feeling hungry and tired of broth (chicken broth is DISGUSTING!) and protein shakes. *sigh* But I made it. Mind you I had a whole lot of distractions and constant naggings from the mil (mom in law).

WHY do people think they can tell you to forget the surgery if you have committed to it already? Just because you can stick to a diet plan better now than before. Never have I had so much discouragment before this week. The mil is telling me that I should forget the surgery and stick to the liquid diet, now how birdbrained is that! I mean I am getting protein yes, and staying hydrated, but no one being can stick to a liquid diet long term and expect the same results. Tried and true I have treid all kinds of dieting methods, but to hear someone who is thin tell me that I should basically go the wrong way about dieting and lose weight......TOTAL DOWNER!

I just walk away when she says stupid things like that. I have worked WAY too hard to get where I am today. I am tired of the constant reminders and nagging of me being overweight, and the whole, "wow you really let yourself go". I mean truly some people are rude without either meaning to be or knowing. I am sick of it frankly. 

Tomorrow is the BIG day and all I can think about is how far I have made it from being 276lbs to now 233lbs. No one else did it but me, and I am just going to keep pushing on. Because that is who I am someone that gets things done not someone that relies on everyone else to pick up the load. 

Thanks for hearing me rant. Here's to a new me being reborn!

So, here I am on day one of my journey to a new me. Liquid diet sucks thus far! LOL! I had to make my son his meals today and kept looking at the food as if I had never seen it before lmao! But I keep telling myself no. You made it this far and you should not feel like this, you have so much more to look forward to. Liquid diets have always been my downfall. I had to do it when I first started LA weightloss. I followed them completely just wanted to clarify that. I always push myself to go beyond what my mind may believe it can do. I am trying to occupy my mind to think of other things. I want to go walk somewhere or something but I can't because I feel like i gotta pee every 30 minutes or so. Only because of the Intercystial Cystitis. Oh the joy huh lol! Well enough griping off to occupy my mind with other matters other than food! LOL!

OMG! I am excited and nervous all at once! I have a tenative date for surgery on the 17th of June!!! WOW it very exciting I wanna cry because I am happy that I will be getting my life back. I will be able to sit in a theatre with out my tush being crammed in a seat! :) Or if I want to get on a ride at a theme park I will be able to go on it!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 SO I am trying to figure out which surgeon to go with, either Dr. Mark Takata or Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul for lap band surgery. Any comments anyone??? Would be helpful! Thanks!

Yay!!!!!!!! Got the approval from the Psych, and debating on a date now! So excited and everything all at once!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!! 

So I am still enduring the pain of having a LONG cycle. Yup, my hormone levels are all over the place and its due to the weight the doc says. I am on hormone therapy today is day 6 of it all. Never in my life would I have thought that this would happen to me. All of this I suppose. I am unhealthy in more ways than some, and I have to make the right decision. Geez, this hurts! The pain from all the cramps and all that. My cycle has lasted for 30+ days, and at first my doctor thought that I was kidding when I said that I was still bleeding abnormally. Till she saw me last week. Turns out I have excess lining on the uterus, I have no idea what its called medically. But it hurts! Well for me at least. Thought I would share and vent some of the pain off. Thanks for listening everyone.

So, I am new here. I just got info on weight loss surgery from my Endocrinologist that I have been working with since August 2008. My final straw was going to a local theme park with my family about 2 or 3 weeks ago and not being able to go on a ride with my 6yr old son. That and I had a group of kids blantly tell me to my face how ashamed I should be of what I look like. I will admit that it did hurt to hear them say that, I am not actually considering that as a total factor in my case. 

Anyhow, I have been struggling with my weight since around 2007. I use to have to take all kinds of medication which caused me to balloon up. That and poor choices were the main contributors. I want to be able to walk in a store and not have to tug at my clothes to make them look right or worry about them having my size. A thing that bothers me a lot if I cannot enjoy doing things that I use to be able to do. I cannot go play in the snow as there are no snow pants to keep me dry. I have looked high and low to find some that would fit me and have been unsuccessful. 

On the 24th I will be going for my Psych evaluation, not sure what to expect on that but I am hoping to gain more knowledge of this whole procedure and the impacts it may have not only on me but everyone around me.

Due to my weight I have had irregular mensus cycles, which have caused me to have a thicker lining on my uterus, causing me a great deal of pain and infertility. I am currently taking hormone therapy to hopefully resolve this. But I never knew how much my weight contributed to ailments such as that until I met my weight loss doctor.

Anyhow I want to be better informed of the weight loss surgeries out there and how I can change my life to be healthier and achieve the results I want in my life.
