I'm totally in shock!!!! So I went in today to get on birth control, and they tell me I can't cause I'm PREGNANT!!!!! What the hell!!! How in the world did this happen?? I'm about 6 weeks and only 5 months out of surgery! OMG! How stupid am I? I can't believe it. this is CRAZY!!! I feel bad cause my husband is super excited and he can't understand why I'm not stoked. I guess I'm just worried.
 

Hello,
Well it's been a while since I've posted anything. But I've been sooo busy. I'm starting to get a little worried because I never went back for my check-up, so I didn't get the gall bladder meds. I wound up in the emergency room on Saturday night. with what I seriously thought was an abstuction or something! It felt like labor, but I knew there was no way! I was crying in agony but as soon as I got to the hospital I was fine.....weird....does anyone know if this might be gall stones??? Any way. I've been steadily loosing weight.It feels really good everyone keeps telling me I'm "melting" It has been kind of sad though, getting rid of some of my clothes that are too big now. I was a 28 now I'm wearing a 24...exciting! I's weird though how you become attatched to outfits? almost like a security blanket....anyone out there with the same problems?

o.k. I'm feeling a little better today, but I still desperately want to eat something!
 
What would happen if I ate some beans or scrambled eggs only 1 week out? I need substance...please help???

I am only 5 days out and I'm having regrets already. I can't get all this gas out. I'm having these sharp shooting pains in the middle of my chest that feels like heartburn. I don't want to eat soup and my body just hurts all over. My mom and my husband keep yelling at me to eat but I just want some Mexican Nachos uuugggghhh!!! I wish I could be put to sleep until it's time to eat some REAL food! Also I have not got ANY protien down. I'm not doing too good! On the up side I'm down a total of 26 pounds!

Well I'm home. I made it out of the hospital this afternoon. I wasn't doing very well until I took ashower earlier. I still have a lot of gas pain but most has subsided. The first day wasn't too good! I had everybody worried. I had a bad reaction to the aneshtesia and I kept falling back under. I also couldn't take the narcotics. they made me feel awful and I Never made those 20 laps around the nurses station though. oh well! I've got tons of bruises all over my arms, but my incisions are doing good. Well that's it for now. I'll post again soon i'm sure

O.k. so today is the big day! eeekkk!!!! Not sure I have everything? but it is what it is! This has been a rollercoaster so far. One minute I'm totally calm and ready, and the next I'm in complete panic mode. I have lost a total of 20 pounds so far...yay! I have to check in at 6 a.m. to get my meds for my Von Willa Brands. My little sister picked up my kids earlier so they can spend the night with my parents. That was the hardest part saying goodbye to my kids (just in case) I can't shake this feeling that I might never see them again. I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm only thinking positive

O.k. so only 6 days till my surgery and I'm having second thoughts! I'm really worried about all the excess skin! Not sure I want to have more surgery once I'm done, but I don't want all that skin hanging there....everyone asked me about that before and I figured that I have all that skin now it's just filled with fat, but something about it hanging there is creeping me out! I hope this is just nerves talking but I'm chickening out!!!!!! HELP!!! I don't want to bail out of doing my surgery!!!!
I'm also nervous about telling the in-laws tonight. They have always had issues with my weight and I'm not sure how they will react. I didn't want to tell them at all, but my husband really wants to.

O.K. someone help me here I just weighed myself this morning and I've lost 10 pounds! WHAT!!! I've only been on the liquid diet for 3 days! Is this possible or did I break my scale...lol. Did anyone have this happen as well?

So today was the second day of my liquid diet. I'ts not fun! I am finding that I'm not really hungry. But I feel like I need to eat because I haven't chewed anything. Also I'm not getting in all 1000 calories. I have already lost 2 pounds. WEIRD! does anyone know of a kool aide type protien drink. This milky stuff I can't get down. I'm only drinking 52 grams of protien. this is not the way I wanted to start!

So I went to my first support group last night and it was not what I expected! For some reason I half expected it to be like an AA meeting and we would all sit around and talk about how we got to be this way (fat). But it wasn't it was great! Everyone I met was very supportive and gave me so much confidence. Most of the people there were scheduled for surgery around the same time as I am. There were some amazing stories like some I have seen here on OH, Just reading some of the profiles here are inspiring, but seeing it face to face is just incredible. It's getting real and I'm getting anxious!!!
