So many things can change....
May 31, 2012
Well, I am now at 180lbs, give or take a few depends on the day, I reached the goal I said I wanted to be, but I'm here now and I am not happy. I think I need to push it to 160, or 150 and see what that feels like because it's somewhere I have never been. LIFE has changed tremendously for me, boyfriends have come and gone, jobs have come and gone, my BOOBS have come and definitely are GONE now lol. So many new challenges. But its fun, and it's life, so I will just roll with it and see what happens!

Almost 6 months post op....
Jun 22, 2011
Well.... I am happy to report, that im happy! Im losing weight at a speed that is comfortable for me. I was 248 the day of surgery, and I am now 209 as of this morning. So that is roughly 40lbs in 5 1/2 months. To me, that is acceptable. I have lost inches and I am getting bat wings and my thighs aint looking so good, I need to exercise!!! But, I can tell you there is a whole new world out there just from losing 40lbs!! I was raised to never judge anyone regardless of size, color, religion... that stuff just didnt matter to me, and I assumed people didnt judge me that way, well I was wrong..... Guys notice me now.... it's crazy.. I can be riding my fourwheeler down the road and they will break their necks to stare at me, now I didnt do this to myself just to get attention, but wow did it feel nice!!! My horses are so happy that I have lost some weight, it makes their work easier... I am only 9lbs away from ONEDERLAND!!!!

Not much exciting to report. This has been such an easy process for me OTHER than learning how to EAT...
It's hard... basically all I ate today was a side of KFC mashed potatoes, and gatoraid. Yes, this is bad. Today was a failure day but we were out of the house all day and it broke my routine. Mashed potatoes is the most dense thing I have ate so far.
So tomorrow I will be getting back on the wagon... and my routine and getting it right. !
Other than that, everythings going well. My incisions are really almost gone. Just tiny scabs now. No pain whatsoever... Now it's all learning how to eat!

Well.. not much to report, other than I LOVE NEXIUM!!!!!!!!
I have never ever had acid reflux so bad in my life.
Every sip of water and every bite of soup tastes like PURE acid running down the back of my throat. I have not had ANY pain from my surgery. I stopped the pain medication two days after I got home. I really only took it cuz I was sore when ever I got up and moved around, so I was a slush for a couple days.
So.. as far as my surgery goes, I am doing well. No complaints, all is well.
Today was my most active day so far... I dont go back to work until the 14th and truthfully I could have gone back today but I took the extra week just to learn how to eat/drink and get my liquids and protiens in. Im not doing so well, as far as protien goes im probley getting in NADA... but I feel like I am definately meeting my liquid goal.
We went for a three hour long fourwheeler ride today and I feel absolutely fine. No pain what so ever. Then I went fishing from about 4pm until it got dark. So I have been in my opinion farely active. I havent rode my horse yet. I am saving that for next week.
18lbs GONE FOREVER :0)

NOT surgey, related, just upset... need to vent.

Well.. here is an example of the things you can do 7 days after you have surgery. Whether you should actually do them or not, is another story. I live in Central Florida, we got hit with the "Iron Horse Fire" right now it is burning up 16, 000 acres around my house and my moms. I have five horses, three dogs and a cat. When the smoke got so bad that I was in fear for my horses being able to breathe, we had to evacuate. They had not actually ordered us out of our homes yet, but it was too much to breathe. So, I loaded up three of my horses which are at my moms and proceeded to take them to my house with is four or so miles from my mom. I thought that was far enough. When we got there, they were actually evacuating my neighborhood. So we had to turn around, and then the road was blocked and they told me I could not go back to get my other two horses, that I could not fit in the horse trailer the first trip out. So I called my friend, took the three horses to her house and then had to threaten to run over people if they did not let me back in to get my other horses. They finally let us through, I was able to load the others in the heavy smoke and get them to safety. I dont think that while I was doing all this, I ever stopped to think I just had surgery, I shouldnt be loading up horses, and dogs, and cats, and hooking up horse trailers, and climbing in and out of my truck. But, you have to do... what you have to do. My animals made it to safety. That is all that matters. Yesterday we brought them home, and the smoke has let up, and the fire is 25% contained at the moment. So, today is day 9.... they took my staples out, which didnt bother me at all, it was completely painless, and actually felt good, cuz the darn things itched the mess out of me. THEN... on my home, my lovely fiance calls me. He is ranting on about something stupid about his ex wife, and his daughter, and that whole mess. I get home, we have a huge fight, which turned into finding out that he was talking to someone while we were first together. This upset me greatly. I returned his ring. It's over. I dunno whats going on. I have told him our engagement is over, but he is still here and begging to make it work. I dunno, if I should just shut up and deal with it or what. To me, he broke a bond that we had, and now that he has, I cant ever forget it. It doesnt matter that they didnt actually have sex. It means that the time when we first met, wasnt real. It was just a game to him.

Day 6.... early in the day post..
Feb 27, 2011
I just want to tell ya'll that I am ITCHING!!! Everywhere lol... my staples... my arms from the heparin... everything I have is itching. I have already gone through a tube of hydrocortisone cream.. and that crap doesnt even touch the itch.
I also feel really thirsty... I thought I was doing pretty well on my liquids... I sip sip sip, suck on the popcicles, drink the hot tea, blah blah blah... but for some reason I feel like I am most definately lacking in fluids this morning. Maybe it is from the night.
Anyway.. the day is very young, but I felt the need to vent about my itching. I also would like to know if anyone is reading my blogs? Or if I am just talking to myself. lol I am one of those people that need a purpose.. so if you are reading,just say hi to me, or post something... so I know im not just talking to hear myself.
