Just a quick update... I have been going to the gym for about the last 6 wks or so and have been tracking my food and activity on body media for around the same amount of time. My weight loss seemed to slow when I started going to the gym, but has sped up again. Just the normal ups and downs of weight loss. I also have a personal trainer for now and it has really kick started me into an excercise routine. My back seems to be getting better and better. It still gives me problems, but its nothing like before. I haven't had it lock up in about 2 months or so and I can do activities that I couldn't tolerate just a few months ago, like jogging and jumping jacks, which would have sent me into spasms before.
Christmas was good and I am planning a vacation for June, right after my surgiversery. I will most probably be at my goal and maybe even at my ideal weight by then. As time goes by and the pounds come off, I realize how much I want plastics. I look better and better with the clothes on and worse and worse with them off. Not to mention, my entire body keeps moving after I stop moving. Damn inertia. It is annoying and embarassing, especially when I excercise. The young little personal trainer I have seems to be under the impression that she can tone my belly up. She is young and I assume has never been heavy. She is sweet and very helpful, but nothing is going to rid me of this apron short of a knife.
Anyway, I'm just going to keep on taking good care of myself and saving up my pennies for plastics.

Well my weight loss seems to be picking back up these past couple weeks. I never cease to be amazed. I keep expecting for the weight loss to stop but it keeps on coming. I'm so happy and relieved.
I couldn't believe what I did a couple days ago. After hearing other people tell similar stories I had thought that wont happen to me. Well I pulled my clothes out of the dryer and immediately thought the jeans had shrunk and that they were going to be too small to wear. Then I remembered that others had recounted similar strories on OH and I laughed at myself. I walk down the halls at work and sometimes in the aisles of the store and people I know well do not recognize me. And sometimes people I knew long ago do recognize me, which was not the case 100 lbs ago. My back is still improving it seems. I was still having spasms and losing control of my legs at times over the past months, but that hasn't happened over the past few weeks. which is the longest i've gone w/o that happening.
I don't want to gain weight back in the future. It's the scarriest part of this whole thing. I know it's a real possibility, so I try to make these changes permanent. When I see people I know who have gained some of their weight back post WLS, it is a reality check for me that seems to make me even more determined to not do that. I don't think poorly of people who have gained back weight, because God knows I obviously had a problem keeping weight off too. I just don't want to be in pain with my back and I think that is the biggest motivation for me to keep the weight off. I can't go back there. I hate to dwell in negativity when this is not even an issue yet. But lets be real, I guess we will all fight regain at some point.
I must go enjoy the christmas season now.

No weight loss this week
Nov 27, 2010
11/26/10 Wt: 204.6
Well this is the first week since surgery that I have not lost a single pound. However, when I weighed I had just come back from vacation, it was midday and my feet and ankles were swollen like the stay puff marshmallow man's. I'm not quite sure why they swole up like that. I did drive for 8 hours and stopped only once to get gas, but that never made my feet look like that before. Well hopefully my weight loss for next week will be above average.
I had a great vacation. It was more fun than I thought it would be. We went to Disney World for 4 days. We have been many times before so I was thinking it might be getting a little boring, but I was so wrong. We stayed at the Contemporary with a castle view room. I thought the contemporary might be a little blah, but it is now one of my favorite disney resorts. We went on a pirates and pals fireworks cruise which was fun and entertaining with an amazing view. Enjoyed the restaurants and did good with my eating most of the time. I didn't have anything too crazy. I did order a no sugar added dessert one time that seemed too good to be true and I'm pretty sure it was. I didn't feel too well afterward so it may have had too much naturally occuring sugar. I had a great time shopping too. We really had a good time and I can't wait to start planning my next road trip which I think wil be to Gatlinburg.
Now that I am back from vacation I am ready to up my excercise routine. Hopefully this will help me lose a little faster. Yah I know I'm inpatient. I can't help it.

Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason that I can see for the amount of weight I lose per week. It ranges from 1 to 5.5 lbs. I can only guess it is affected by shifting fluids and changes in body composition. I'm not sure where I left off with my last entry, but everything has been going well. I have been surprised at the number of people at work who have walked right past me and not recognized me until later after hearing my name or looking at me a while. Over half a dozen people have not recognized me. I am almost 6 months out and 90 lbs down.
I have had some dental problems, which I have not really had pre-RNY. 1cavity, lots of abfractures and wear on my teeth. Dentist said to use sonicare toothbrush and flouride rinse. I was having bad staining along the gum line where the abfractures are, but after getting my teeth cleaned they are gone. My gums are receeding too. I'm really trying to take extra special care of my teeth. I have only had 1 cavity before in my life. I was 18 and have only gotten compliments on my teeth from dentists until now. Oh well, they could be worse. They just better not get worse or God forbid start fallin out. Doubt it.
I have had some moments where I am really down because I am still obese, but these are fleating moments, and I remind myself I am not even 6 months out. I think I need to go clothes shopping. Maybe that will make me feel better. For the most part I am still wearing some smaller sizes from years ago,and they are still actually too big. I have only bought some new under wear, bras and uniforms. I am also considering doing a little tanning since it is getting cool and I am lookin a little pale.
Well I have to get busy cleaning. I was up all night with a sick child with a stomach bug. I have lots of laundry to do and am going out of town Monday so I better start packing. I can't wait to get to Orlando and relax.

Today I wouldn't qualify

Ht: 5'7"
Wt: 220.2 lbs
BMI: 34.4
So I only lost 1.2 lbs this week. That's ok, I've lost about 10 in the previous 2 weeks. I just realized that my BMI is now too low to qualify for bariatric surgery (according to my insurance). I am still considered to be in the obese range, but it is a milestone anyway to be below the bariatric surgery BMI. I have been able to do more and more lately and my back hurts less and less. It seems like I am losing at the same rate as I have been. I'm so releaved. I started collecting the troll type beads, one for each ten pounds lost. I got them on QVC and then someone should me ones you can get from Brighton for even cheaper. Might try some of those on the bracelet I got from QVC. I've put it off for as long as I can, but I have to go buy some new clothes, especially bras, Yikes! I have a decent number of things from smaller sizes years ago, but must get new work uniforms. I just hate to spend the money right now since I just got to go back to work, but several people have told me how nice I would look if my tops were smaller. And I'm sure it would make me feel better too. I have been surprised at the number of people who have said I look younger. I guess I looked old in a tired sort of way before. I can, however, see several wrinkles that weren't there before. I guess people aren't noticing each little wrinkle like I am though. I hope to be under 200 by the end of the year and am going to start saving for plastics as soon as I get these last few bills payed off.

Pavlov's dog
Oct 12, 2010
Just an observation I have been making. As Pavlov's dogs salivated at the sound of the bell, I have salivated at the site or smell of some foods. We all have these positive food associations that we develop over a lifetime. I pretty easily recognize that this is not hunger, but a mental response to a positive image or smell. More recently I have begun to associate some foods or food types with negative feelings, not negative analytical thoughts but true mental/emotional associations with less than positive food experiences. Because of this there are some things that I just don't crave or in some cases have developed a bit of an aversion to. I don't have problems tolerating foods and have only thrown up once. I guess the fact that I just don't enjoy food like I used to is enough to break the positive association conditioning. I hope this continues and helps me develop more healthy eating habits.

It's been a while, post op week 18

Ht: 5'7"
Wt: 221.4 (10/7/10)
226.8 (9/30/10)
231.0 (9/23/10)
232.0 (9/16/10)
236.0 (9/09/10)
237.4 (9/02/10)
241.8 (8/26/10)
So it has been a little while since I have written and I do want to keep a record of my journey so lets do a little catching up. I have started back to work, about 2 weeks ago. Through a fortunate chain of events and a very kind manager I have returned to an equivilant position in my old department. My back is doing much better, but I can't say I am 100%. I'm ecstatic about the progress I have made. I am still in PT.
Going back to work 4 months post RNY was interesting. There were actually some people who didn't recognize me at first. I don't particularly love all the attention and comments, but its not that annoying either. I'm such a skeptic I always question the honesty of some of the compliments. And if I hear another person say, "You had a nice long vacation didn't you?", I'm gonna flip out. I know for the most part people are joking, but it gets old. And when the comment is followed by 20 questions about the exact nature and degree of my injury you have to wonder about the commenter's intent. Most everyone already knows I was out because of my back. And I do realize that people, even nurses, don't undeerstand what all that entails. I wouldn't have been off work if I could have safely done my job. I think too people assume since I am back to work everything is 100% normal and pain free. No, I am just doing well enough to go back to work. In fact one girl was complaining about not wanting to take a patient because of a back ache and I was just listening and she must not have liked the look on my face, because she says," You can sit there and smile since you had your surgery." Mind you she is thin and fit, so I'm not sure if she is referring to my gastric bypass or if she thinks I did have back surgery that I was scheduled for. Anyways, I just told her that just because I smile doesn't mean I don't hurt. Lifting patients is a part of our job description and if we can't do it we shouldn't be working in a hospital. I wasn't trying to be mean, I just feel strongly that patients depend on us and if we can't perform our duties we should work elsewhere. I'm sure as time goes on people will be less and less nosey about my gastric bypass, back problem and medical leave. I actually don't mind intelligent honest questions. It's when people have a point to make or not so subtly disguised opinion to give that I get annoyed. I actually work on a bariatric unit and venture to say I am the most educated on the subject now. I love sharing info with patients and co-workers, because I just feel like people should have all the available info when ddealing with such a life changing endeavor.
Alright more about me and my jorney... The weirdest thing IMO happened to me mentally. When I hit about 235 lbs, I kinda had a mini freak out. I had this big fear that I wouldn't lose below this, which has turned out to be totally unfounded. After some thought, I have decided that it is because that weight, for me, was the point of no return. At that weight I had several unsuccesfull weight loss attempts. I had recently had a baby when I hit 235. I think my metabolism was out of wack and in retrospect think that maybe it was the early beginnings of my hypothyroid, diabetes and PCOS (though I wasn't diagnosed until later). I'm glad that weight loss milestone has passed. In fact lately, since I have been more active and in less pain, I think I am losing a little faster. I always recognized the fact that I could lose weight with this surgery, but I was afraid to hope for a goal that might be out of reach. A couple days ago it dawned on me that my weight loss isn't slowing, I'm doing great, and I could possibley be "thin" in the not too distant future. My goal is now 150 lbs. and I really believe I can do it.
In other news, my sister was just diagnosed with MS. She has had symptoms for a long time but they were getting worse. I have been worried about what the future holds for her. I also found out that my uncle, who I thought had a bad back cause he drags his leg, has some unknown type of demylenating nerve disease. My other uncle died from MS complications when he was 26. Not a good family history, I know. My sis has had pleurisy and costal chondroitus in the past month and is having surgery next week to remove a corrective bar from her chest. I don't know what I would do if something happened to her. I'm praying.
I'm encouraging my sis to take better care of herself, diet, excercise, etc. And I'm trying to make sure I do the same. The new schedule since going back to work has thrown me for a bit of a loop though. I work 3 - 12 hour shift on weekend nights and some days it is very difficult to get in all my protein and fluids. And a coulple mornings I forgot to take my meds because I fell asleep on the couch after work. I'm definitely devising a plan and wont let this become a habit.
Hopefuly I will report back soon with my progress.

Hope in Sight
Sep 15, 2010
Yesterday I had 2 interviews for transfer within the facility where I work. The first one went so well that they went ahead and did a peer interview and then offered me the job. I'm So happy. Paperwork has to be completed through my old manager and HR. If everything goes well i will have a wonderful new job. My pay will be almost half of what it was so I am looking at some major lifestyle changes. This is a great job though and I think I will really like it. I just pray there are no snags in the paperwork process. I'm just really worried that someone is going to say something about me having a back injury or having been out on medical leave. I was so worried I would end up unemployed and now I just keep praying that everything goes through alright. Thank God I'm not losing my job now, or my insurance!

Anticlimactic NSV
Sep 15, 2010
Post Date: 9/8/10 9:41 pm
I feel like I should share this most awsome NSV, because I thought it would never happen. I was in need of a spinal fusion and told that I needed to lose weight first, with good reason. I have had 2 previous lumbar surgeries and didn't want this surgery to "fail" so quickly like the others. I had decided to have RNY before this arose, but with the help of my neurosurgeon got my surgery date moved up. Well tomorrow I was supposed to have my fusion. But 2 and 1/2 weeks ago the thing that I never thought possible began to happen. I woke up one morning and my leg pain from a "pinched" nerve was dramatically decreased. I didn't even let myself hope that I would improve. I was so scared of dissappointment, been there too many times. Over the next 2 weeks, as I was able to do more and more, my lower back pain and spasms began to improve as well. I finally let myself believe it could be possible and called my neurosurgeon. Now I am starting PT and surgery is cancelled. I was also released to go back to work (I had been out on medical leave since March 2010). I couldn't be more thrilled about this.
Here comes the anticlimactic part that makes this a little bittersweet. Don't get me wrong, I am pleased none the less. Well, when I called my work I found out that my position had been filled just the week before (I have well since exhausted all of my FMLA so I am no longer protected in that way). My workplace is more than generous and goes beyond the law in allowing for medical leave. Right now I am on what they call No Assigned Hours. I put in transfers to other departments, but if one is not accepted by the end of the month then I will be terminated. The bad thing is they just closed down a wing of the hospital I work at to do renovation and the nurses that worked there were re-distrubuted to most of the positions. I am in real jeopardy of losing my job. We luckily have other facilities in town, but we have a lot of schools nearby pumping out new nurses. I hate to be so whiney, but I will go on. I will most likely also experience a huge drop in income because I worked under a special contract before that is not often up for grabs. And I am worried about lapses in disability insurance, cost of COBRA, etc. I just hope I don't hurt myself somehow. Thanks for letting me vent.
I really am thankfull. I just got my hopes up that I would be able to go back to work. If I had had the fusion I would have lost my job for being out to long anyway. BTW, I am not looking for sympathy. I feel pathetic enough already, lol. I guess I just had to get this off my chest, but if anybody has any similar life experience do share how you got through it.

My workplace is more than generous and goes beyond the law in allowing for medical leave. Right now I am on what they call No Assigned Hours. I put in transfers to other departments, but if one is not accepted by the end of the month then I will be terminated. The bad thing is they just closed down a wing of the hospital I work at to do renovation and the nurses that worked there were re-distrubuted to most of the positions. I am in real jeopardy of losing my job. We luckily have other facilities in town, but we have a lot of schools nearby pumping out new nurses. I hate to be so whiney, but I will go on. I will most likely also experience a huge drop in income because I worked under a special contract before that is not often up for grabs. And I am worried about lapses in disability insurance, cost of COBRA, etc. I just hope I don't hurt myself somehow. Thanks for letting me vent.
I really am thankfull. I just got my hopes up that I would be able to go back to work. If I had had the fusion I would have lost my job for being out to long anyway. BTW, I am not looking for sympathy. I feel pathetic enough already, lol. I guess I just had to get this off my chest, but if anybody has any similar life experience do share how you got through it.

So happy, I've lost 50 lbs. and am tolerating all the foods I have tried. I am very anxious about my upcomming back surgery and I hope this doesn't make me want to eat more. I can't wait for this to be behind me.
