Welp my first week post op has gone very well and very boring just the way I wanted. I feel so normal that it is scarey. Execept I am not hungry. As of yesterday I have lost 10 pounds which I have never done is a week so WOO HOO!!! Today I go for my 1st post op and get my drain out. I remember reading about what a pain this thing was. I named mine Oskie and he took on a whole new meaning so it wasn't that bad. Plus my kids weren't scared of me after I named the drain. They saw all the bruising and thought someone had attacked mommy. So cute how protective they can be. I have had only one bad thing happen...well 2. Thepain in my left shoulder from the drugs was almost unbearable and since the drain can cause it to and has in my case I still have the pain. But hopefully it will subside this week after getting it out. And the other, was I think I drank my milk to fast and just got SICK!!!! Came on suddenly but as soon as I threw up I was great. But that was scarey to say the least. But lesson learned. :) SIP SIP SIP!!!!!

Hello everyone..... I have read so many blogs and still don't know what to write.........imagine that!!!! I am 35 years old. Been struggling with my weight since I was probably 4 or 5. I have WLS scheduled for Jan. 5th and am excitred and scared and everything in between.  I am trusting my life into Dr. Kevin Rothchild's hands but from my research and word of mouth he is Amazing!!!! I wish I had more interaction with him but his staff is AMAZING!!!! This has been a life long struggle and like many others I worry about the actual surgery but much more how will I view myself afterwards. Even at 170 (my smallest) I still had the same body image I have now. I am the proud single momma of 2, Girl 5 and boy 3. I am doing this as much for them as I am for me. I have been threw the ringer with my Weight. I am sure a lot of you can understand. The teasing, the stares, the You would be if's..........the lifetime of emotional and physical pain.  Will I be stong enough to face it all. It was a crutch.. something to blame, but when the excuse is gone what will I do? My hope and what I preparing is to face it all head on and with courage, get rid of it  and move on!!!! Like I said I am excited and scared at the same time...... I think by the reading this is normal, and I KNOW I am not alone and I appreciate all of you so much!!!! Wish me the best and I will be working out all the issues wiht this wonderful communty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
