Hi Shannon, I am a patient of Dr. Bolar's also. I truly believe that he needs to know how you were treated. He is there boss afterall and he needs to know how people are being treated. Just my suggestion. Also, I think you can talk to Nancy, the head nurse, and see what she says about your treatment. If they don't change there tune then I would go to the doctor and staff that make you feel better about the surgery. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Jill

I am finally in the 250's. Today I was 258 which means I have lost 67lbs. I am so thankful to have broken past 260 I had been stuck at that weight since Christmas and I was starting to become scared that this was it for me. But I have reallty increased my protein which was hard because I have a hard time keeping protien down but it apparently has helped.

I have finally lost 40lbs!! Yeah!!!! It seems like it has taken forever to hit that weight. I wanted to have lost 40 by the time I came back to work and 50 by Thanksgiving. You never know with the exercise I have added maybe I will reach that 50lb mark by thanksgiving, it's still 2 weeks away.

I have lost 31lbs, which means I am 294 now. It seems slow but its only been 5 weeks. I guess I am doing okay but I still throw up everyday, usually several times a day. I know what I am doing wrong just having a hard time changing 30 years of bad eating habits. I eat way to fast and by the time I realize I am full it's to last and up the food comes. I just bought a food scale so I am going to weigh everyting to avoid putting to much on my plate. I still really miss Pepsi and Mt. Dew. more than anything, I used to drink at least 6 cans a day. Sugar-free Kool-aid just isn't the same. I am eating mostly lunchmeat like fat free turkey and ham, just because it's easy and it stays down. I have a real hard time with bread, pasta, or anyhting similar, which is probably a good thing becuase I was a carbohydrate addict before the surgery. I have started working out to Richard Simmons tapes. Before the surgery I thought that I would be so motivated to exercise after the surgery but I am not, I have a hard time making myself workout. I guess the truth is if working out was easy I wouldn't have been in the shape to need the surgery in the first place.

I want to thank everyone for all your support!! It has meant so much to me to recieve all your emails . Things are going so much better for me. Last week I had a little trouble with a high fever and elevated white blood cell count but Dr. Bolar took care of that and now I fell great, well not great but good. Today is my 30th birthday and Iwanted to be under 300lbs by my birthday but with my weight the day of surgery being 325.6 I never thought it would be possible but today I am 299 yeah!!!!! It has only been 18 days but it feels like forever. I did 16 days of clear liquids. But the last two days I have been eating real foood and doing well. I have been eating mashed potatoes and pasta type stuff and maybe it's in my head but I feel like I have more strength, I was becoming so weak on jello and broth. I am happy to say that my mother is home from the hospital and doing well. It's a shame that it takes something like that to make us realize how much we love our family. So anyone reading this, get of the computer and call your mother and tell her you love her.
