Well, sitting here at my desk, kind of depressed. The scale stopped moving over a week ago. I haven't gotten a fill so I'm trying not to get too depressed. I've been walking and eating right and yet I still manage to gain and lose the same 1-2lbs.
I go back to see the doc again May 28th, hopefully he'll give me a fill and can continue this process.
I wonder if I should have just gotten the bypass. It's not as high maintainance.  Oh well, I'm not giving up.
Will right back soon.

So, I had my post-op appointment today. I'm pretty happy about my progress so far. I'm surprised I'm not getting impatient. However, I think 1lb a day is very good. I've lost between 1-2lbs per day, so I'm 11lbs lighter today according to my scale.
I'm not ready to throw out all my clothes or anything, but I'm happy with the results so far. I'm 4 days away from pureed foods. I can't wait. Just to taste food again will be awesome. I'm going to puree everything. LOL.

I start taking my b12 shots tomorrow. I decided to do that every month instead of taking the b12 pills everyday. I think I have enough pills to take, and today my surgeon just gave me a prescription for another drug that I'm suppose to take for 6 months for my gallbladder. He didn't exactly say what it was for, he just asked me if I still had my gallbladder and gave me a prescription.

Well, nothing new in my world right now.

Well, I'm three days out of surgery, I'm not as miserable as I once was. My stomach muscles ache a little, I have some stomach acid and heartburn issues, but nothing a pill can handle for several hours. I've lost about 3 lbs so far. Which I know isn't much, but I'm more focused on healing so I can pursue my weight lose more aggressively.

I'm suppose to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks, and I have no idea how I'm going to intake 64 ounces of fluid, and 50 grams of protein. That's just nuts!! It takes me more than a day to drink a bottle of water now. But I'm still trying. I'm not dehydrated so I must be doing something right. Been living off of jello, broth, yogurt, water, pudding, gonna try some runny cream of wheat or oatmeal later, that'll probably be dinner.

Well, I'm gonna go and walk around for a bit, it makes me feel a little better.

OMG!!
Six more days. What the heck am I suppose to do until then. I can't stop thinking about it now. Last night, I woke up to go to the bathroom at 3:49am, and couldn't go back to sleep until it was almost time to get up. Six days?? OMG!!!
I'm a wreck. I wish I weren't so impatient. .  Today I do go to my pre-op testing hopefully everything goes smooth.
I still need to figure out who is going to take me home from the hospital. That's a bit nerve wrecking too.
Hopefully will work itself out. Hopefully.

Okay, so it's two weeks from my surgery, and I'm can't stop thinking about it. It's agonizing. I can't wait. I'm so nervous, and excited at the same time.

I keep hearing about how with the Lapband it's a slow process, I'm not looking forward to that, but I am looking forward to changing my life, and my way of thinking about food. My husband isn't as supportive as I wish he were. he lost over 70lbs on his own with hard work, and I need to be put to sleep and have a device inserted in my body in order to get the same results. I feel like a loser, but then again, I don't. He says he is all about me getting healthy, be just doesn't agree with the course of action.

This makes me sad most of the time. We've been married for over 10 years, high school sweethearts, and we've been through so much together. How can he not support me even though he doesn't agree. I just started taking online courses to get my Associates Degree 1 month ago, I'm swamped at work because they laid of so many people (thank god I still have a job, and insurance), how can he not be sympathetic and understand how much I need his support right now.

Anyway, boo-hoo, I'll get over it.

My surgery is 4/20, pre-op seminar is 4/13, and pre-op appointment with my PCP is 4/14.
Hopefully with my busy schedule time will fly.

Will right again soon.
