KIDNEY STONES.....

Apr 23, 2007

Good news --- Bad news

Bad news 1st.. I have kidney stones....  I spent Sunday in the ER at AGMC.  After two cat scans they found the stones.  I was having blood in my urine and slight pain in my back so I decided to go to the ER.  I had a great DR in the ER who wasn't letting me leave without finding out what was wrong with me.  So off to the Uroligist Thursday...  Fun Fun....
Good News..
I have lost 89 Lbs.... Woo hoo... The weightloss is much slower now..  I have had several weeks that I don't lose anything.  Hope to hit the 2oo's by the end of this week..  Now that will be exciting..... I can't remember the last time I was in the 200's  maybe late 80's.  I have been excercising.  Walking daily, weights, and areobic swim classes.  
Well, off for a walk now....

3 months out.....

Mar 16, 2007

Hi Friends,

Ok, I have been bad....  Not posting much... Not staying in touch..  Please forgive me..  I have been so busy with life..  I have a few weeks left of school and that will free up my time a bit.  I have put the condo up for sale so hopefully that will sell quickly. We found a house that we are going to buy once the condo sells.  
The weight loss has been going well.  I am down 70 lbs at 3 months.  I have hit a platue for the last 2 weeks.  Hopefully that will be ending soon.  I feel so much better with the weight gone.  I have started doing my work out at least once a day.  10 inches are gone from my waist.  Maybe this weekend I will get to have measurments taken again and see how many inches I have lost.  I will keep you posted.  Off to work...  Happy St Patty's day to all....


2 months out today...

Feb 11, 2007

Today is my 2 month anniv since surgery.  I have lost 54 lbs.  I am so excited.  I can't wait for the next 38 lbs.  Hopefully they will keep coming off quickly.  I do need to exercise more.  I'm going to start going the the Wellness center.  My class starts tomorrow night at Akron U.  I am taking a class for Medical Coding and Billing.  Anyone need a medical biller??  LOL  Take care

Happy New Year.....

We went to a party in Cleveland NYE and had a good time dancing.  Hope your NYE was good too.  Now for 2007.  The year for changes.  Things have been going really well.   I find that I am missing my comfort foods less and less. TV commercials do not bother me like they used to.  I keep working on eatting mostly protein to fill me up.  Monday the 8th its back to work time....boohoo....whawwww   Oh well, we have some goals.  Hopefully, we will sell the condo and buy a house this year.  This Friday I have an appt with the NUT she is going to be measuring our body fat.  Can't wait to get on the scale and see if I lost more pounds.  I will keep ya updates.....

Tuesday was the Holiday Party from the surgeon.  It was so nice to see Judi, Marti, Paula and I got to meet some others.  I am still on liquids so I didn't get to have of the yummy looking food or wine..... Tomorrow is my appt with the Nut.  I can move on to blended foods...... I can't wait......... 

Feeling better everyday....

Dec 18, 2006

As the days pass I have began to feel better.  Today I went to my PCP to check my blood pressure, on the way home we went to the mall.  I had 3 stops I needed to make.  Got my shopping done and home we went.  Tired.  When I had my gallbladder out 2 years ago I had it out on a Tuesday and was dancing at the Club by Saturday.  Not this time.....  Moving a lot slower.....  I am planning on going to the Christmas party tomorrow night at the Wellness Center.  Let's all plan on sitting together.  This should be a fun night.  No wine for me ....LOL  No wait Cathy said she would save me 5 glasses.......  Yeah she said that as they were taken the JP drain out Thursday at the hospital......Hmmmmmmm  On an exciting note I am able to wear my engagement ring again.  YIPPEE   Did I tell you we are getting married in January?  Not sure what date yet.  I will keep ya posted.....

I am home

Dec 14, 2006

I made it thru sugery and I came home today.  I ended up staying an extra day due to high white blood cell count.  I had a lot of pain after surgery more then I expected.  But everyday it is getting better.  I am happy to be home with my things around me.  I am going to try and come to the Christmas party and see everyone next week.  Marti was so sweet stopping by and visit me when I was at my worst.  Thanks for the card and ballon.  You definately helped me cope thru some rough hours at the hospital.  I am glad surgery is over and that I am on the loosers bench now.  A special thank you to Tim.  He was there for me every step of the way thru this process.  Next it will be his turn.  Thanks for all your prayers.... ((hugs))  Molly

TOMORROW IS MY BIG DAY...................

Dec 10, 2006

Well, it is finally here.  Tomorrow is my big day.  After almost 2 years since I went to my 1st informational meeting at Akron General it is now time for my surgery.  I am scared but not as scared as I thought I would be.  I thinking meeting and talking to some of you has helped my nerves.  I am on my liquid diet today.  I have to be at the hospital at 9:30a and surgery is scheduled at 11:30.  I may take my lap top to the hospital so if I do I will try and post how I am doing.  If not, then peace to all until I get home and post.  ((Hugs))  Molly

ONE WEEK TO GO..............

Dec 04, 2006

I just got back from AGMC.  I had my pre OP visit for surgery today.  So with that done, which was one of my last things to do before surgery I now have one week exactly to go before surgery.  My surgery is at 11:30a   12-11-06.  I am nervous, scared, all the normal feelings people have before surgery.  But I am not as  bad as I thought I would be.  Friday I have to have my last meeting with the Nut.  Friday is also my 40th B-day.  Woohoo  I still have to finish Christmas shopping for my fiance.  I cant decide what to get him............ Everyone else is done and wrapped.
