HELLO

May 13, 2009

Hello, I am doing great. I'm starting to get a hang of things. The scale isn't moving like I would like it but I am losing inches because the clothes are getting bigger, So I can't complain. Looking forward to the summer, so I can wear those cute dresses and sandals I put up and never thought I would get back into, well that's a lie that's why I kept them. I had a wonderful mother's day weekend. I went to a SPA party which was the best. My son got me the gift I had been wanting since christmas, really my mom purchased it for him for me. :-). As of today no complaints. God is in the Blessing business.

Feeling better

May 02, 2009

Since my last post, I am feeling much better. I think I have a better hang of things. I found a protein shake I love. My energy level has improved. I am looking forward to the summer. My clothes are fitting loose. I can see my feet lol. Things are truly better. I am on mood medication which I am sure has helped. I am off all other medications and feeling great. I haven't posted but I continue to visit ther forums and receive alot of support thru that. I have find some interesting recipes and have gotten to work in the kitchen for which I am not known for doing. My son is loving the home cooked meals. He says WLS was good for me and him lol. I am taking everyday as a challenge, that I plan to conquer. I have made some small goals, such as walking without having to rest, standing in my shower and being able to without pain, and feeling sexy again :-). I like waking up thinking what do I want to wear, not what CAN I wear, as to what is going to fit or look good. I'm putting away a few dollars to go shopping for my Vegas trip in August. Which will be a return trip. I went last year and could barely walk. So this time I plan to walk and hit the night clubs.

Feeling better

Apr 13, 2009

I am feeling better since my last post,  but far from happy. I am four weeks out and I am not sure I made the best decision. Well I have to live with it. Eating is no fun. I eat waiting to feel full before I get sick, so I don't enjoy my food. I find myself eating only because I have to and because the dr told me to. I rather not eat. Drinking is even hard. The only thing I seem to tolerate are the sf popsicles. I am not going to start on those nasty protein shakes/drinks. Before the surgery I ate FOOD. I didn't do yogurt, pudding, or jello. The only shake I drank was oreo from Chik fil la. Half the food we are allowed to eat I don't like. I find myself missing soda like crazy. I am down 30lbs and yes I know I should be thrilled. I know this was my last resort because I couldn't do it on my own. I am just mourning food and this too shall pass.

I am miserable

Apr 07, 2009

I am miserable. I am so fatigued. I don't want to eat, can't sleep. The thought of getting out of bed is to much. Prior to surgery I took anti-depression meds. I stopped, I'm thinking I need to restart. My body aches. I don't want to wash. I am exhausted. Now I'm to tired to finish this post.

My last day of relaxation.

Mar 31, 2009

Well today is my last day of relaxation. I go back to work tomorrow and I'm scared. I have had so much trouble eating. Everytime I eat I feel sick. I eat the right amount but I feel like I need to lay down for a few. I am a social worker and a field worker at that. I'm afraid of getting sick and being in the street. I plan to take my yoga mat, pillow and blanket to work. My desk is big enough for me to lay down if I need to . I have some real unsympatheic asses in my unit and I can hear them complainning already. I plan to suck it up and be me. Which means if any one says anything to me, they will be dealt with.

I had a good time

Mar 27, 2009

last nite. I went to a jewerly demonstration and it was so nice. I bought a necklace, a ring, and a pair of earrings. I left there and went to my highschool's get together, which was so fun. I am on facebook which is where we all reconnected and decided to get together. I have been honest about my WLS, so everybody was kind and said how good I looked even at just two weeks out. It was the first time in a long time I didn't feel self conscious about my looks. I had a blast. I'm so proud of myself a month ago I wouldn't have made it to either event. Yay ME!!!

Good morning OH,  I am excited today. Not only is it going to be 66 degrees, but it is my first check up since surgery. I am so pyshed, hopefully I can have mushy food now. I went and got my hair tossed, pedicure and manicure. I feel beautiful. I made plans to attend a jewerly demo with friends and attend a highschool get together for tonite. A month ago this would have been a no go. I'm also looking forward to my walk this morning. OH family have a blessed day!

Good Morning OH, I am so disappointed. I was looking forward to my walk this morning and of course it is raining. I go for my first check up since surgery I want to be down 20lbs, currently 18 so maybe possible. I am praying the doc says mushy food. I am so tired of soap. I am proud of myself I have not attempted fate and tried food before it's time or that cracker that I am dying for. This may be TMI, but I must share. For the past year I have been taking baths or sitting on the side of the tub washing up. It had been difficult standing in the shower due to the weight and the arthur knees. Well I have been feeling so good and since my walk yesterday, I think I can, I think I can. I'm going to step in my shower stall for the first time today in a year and I am excited. This sounds sick and crazy but it is part of my goals, so I will update, to let you know if my ass was able to squezze in.

 That shower was amazing. Everything fit in the stall and my knees didn't give out. Thank the most high for this opportunity. I pray if you are able to receive this tool that you do. In less than two weeks my life has changed for the better. I am on my way to the salon and nailery to get done up for a highschool get together. Last month I wouldn't have even thought about it. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus.

Good Morning OH, I am still feeling good. I noticed this morning I was able to walk down my stairs normally. Usually I walk down one leg at a time. So that was great. I got up fixed my son his breakfast, this my sound like a normal thing but due to my lack of energy my son has become parentified and the fact I can do something for him like a parent should is a good feeling. Well in a few days I will be back to work, I'm nervous about getting sick at work. My cubby isn't close to a bathroom. For the past 7 years I have lived with a swollen foot and ankle. I had to buy larger shoes. My feet were already flat so I had to try and find wide stylish shoes which was not easy. Last Christmas I bought a pair of those fitflops and of course the bad foot couldn't fit to wide, well yesterday I decided to try them on, just because I noticed my foot wasn't as swollen and guess what it fit. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!. I am so excited about the many changes I have to look forward to. Have a good day OH family. :-)

Good Afternoon OH, I went for a walk today with my mother and aunt. It felt so good to actually walk and not be in pain. It was so refreshing I wanted to cry. Oh well, I just wanted to share.
