9 Weeks Post-OP and Proud

Dec 25, 2008

For so long I felt really bad, allot of vomiting and nausea. Thanksgiving was a nightmare but Christmas was great.  There are still allot of foods I can't tolerate, but there are so many more that I can tolerate now.

I have lost 49 pounds and I feel pretty good.  My clothes are loose but I am not ready to shop yet the weight loss is steady at 2 to 3 lbs a week.  I walk for exercise but I believe I am going to have to do more to increase my weight loss.

I have regained all normal activity ad find I have more energy.  I am so glad I made the decision to have WLS.

I went, and now I'm back

Nov 04, 2008

I had surgery 10/28/08.  The hospital was wonderful very efficient and pleasant.  Then everything went into hyper speed.  I was at a teaching hospital so everything was explained to me thoroughly.  When I woke up after the surgery I didn't feel the pain from where my surgery was done.  But from my upper and mid back.  I felt like my back was breaking and started trying to talk.  It took a long time to get that under control.  To make a long story short.  There was more pain involved than I anticipated but given the fact I have given birth three times I can handle it.  I already see the weight dropping off but I am so tired and sweat profusely every time I do my required walking.  My family has been so supportive especially my mother.  I will try to get more down but sitting up to type is uncomfortable.

My EKG went great, and my blood pressure was actually normal today which is amazing.  I wonder if it could possible be due to my new diet and exercise program. 

I am looking forward to next week when I go see the Hospital and take a tour and meet the anesthesiologist.  I woke up when I was getting my tubes tied in 2002.  I really don't want to repeat that.

I am getting anxious for my wls I know its right around the corner but now I am paranoid that I will catch a cold between now and then.  Is that normal?  I think I'll go get some chewable vitamin C?  Does anyone know how to prevent a cold? (Don't tell me to feed it, I don't live that way anymore).  My throat feels itchy I'm getting nervous.

Surgery set for 10/28/08

My surgery date is 10/28/08 and I am so excited.  I really need to time to speed up it seems to be dragging.  I still have my Pre-op stuff to do I did it before in August but found out that was much to early.  So I will complete my lab work and EKG on 10/16/08.  I get to visit the hospital and the anesthesiologist on the 10/22/08 so I am excited about that as well.

My family is very supportive and are looking forward to my surgery date.  I must admit I have not been in the best of moods mostly due to my 1200 calorie diet that is driving me insane.  I have never experienced hunger pain before.  But every day gets a little easier.  I have lost 10 pounds since the week I have been on the 1200 calorie diet, but I have no energy and I am in a rotten mood.

I have an overwhelming urge to throw away all of my summer clothing because I truly believe I won't ever have to wear my big fat tent short sets anymore.   I think I will.
