Hi! How ya doing? The date is so close. I wanted to wish you the best of luck! My sleep study went well but won't find out results until next week. Hubby and I are headed to Vegas tomorrow through Sunday. It should be tons of fun! I'll be thinking of ya! Give us an update when you are feeling better! Ciao!
That's great you getting it near a holiday. You have an excuse to throw a party each year. As the weight I have been going up and now 3-5lbs. I do see my clothes getting looser but I'm measuring myself now. I think I rather focus on the lose inches at my waist than watching the scale. I love the WII Fit - it has real exercises even Yoga and a lot of balance games. It has different levels and once you complete a weight goal or a certain amount of hours you get access to new games and exercises.
Thanks for checking in!!! Congrats on getting your date! I knew everything would work out good for you!!!! I've lost about 23 pounds. The 20 pounds came off really fast, the last 3 were really hard though. I just went back to work so that helped, I have not started excersizing though, and I am pretty much eating the same types of food every day, yogurt, soup, water, protein shake, so that can't be great for my metabolism. I'm pretty optimistic though, my work pants were sliding off my butt when I went back to work, (I'm a banquet waitress and wear the whole tuxedo shirt/pants/tie/vest combo lol.) I'm so glad things are going well for you!!! The pre-op diet is super rough yes, but now that I am eating more normal foods, that is all a thing of the past and I feel great. Right after surgery, I was miserable and nauseous, I was filled with regret. But now I have come through to the other side, I feel great!!!! Keep in touch!!!
Sorry to hear about you jaw. Hope your doing better. Kind of sucks that you have to wait so long. But at least you can still have it done. It will be worth it in the end. I wait back for a 2 fills already and have lost another 10 lbs. since having the baby. Right now I'm kind of stuck but I think my body is trying to play catch up from giving birth. My little sister already hit 110 lbs! I am so proud of her. I'll try and put some pictures of her online so you can see. Well hope your doing better and cheer up you will have it done soon. Bye!
Yeah I'm alright, I've been pretty much home bound too. I started school yesterday, the classes are really long since its summer courses. Sitting in that chair for 5 hours with one break was AWFUL! I think everyone in my class thinks I'm pregnant because my belly has always stuck out (you know, from being fat haha) but now its even more since its still swollen, and the insicions are still very very sore and tender, so I was sitting there holding my swollen belly moaning all day. Hahaha. I could really go for some solid food right now. I've been on the verge of tears thinking about not having pizza again. Right now I know is the hardest, I'm still sore and healing my insicions, yet at the same time barely getting more than 200 calories a day in so I have no energy. I can't wait to eat!!!!!!
I have just been told from the Dr.'s office that it will now be the end of July if I am lucky before I am rescheduled. That is another 2 months. All becasue of an infection in my jaw that I am sure I would be cleared for in time for my original date of next week. I have talked with my husband and decided that I can't put my life on hold any longer. It has been 6 months. Now to wait another 2 is silly. I am down 12 lbs from the 8 days of pre-op diet. I am going to run with it. I am going...
God is great! I could have been in surgery this morning. The doctor offered to move my date up to today because he had an opening. I wanted to with all of my heart, but my wonderful husband said "we have vacation this weekend and you wouldn't be able to go". I said that was ok and he sure didn't like that. The doctor said I can't be greedy and I need to put other people's needs ahead of mine sometimes. I didn't like him saying that. I left my date as 5-29-08. I have been on my liver shrinking...
My new friend Andrea and I have started walking at least three miles everyday. She is holding me to it quite well. Sometimes she would get out of work late and complain they didn't have a dishwasher at the catering company she worked for. I said "well, if you need help, I can do it until a week before surgery". Since I haven't done any "real work" in a long time guess what? IT IS KICKING MY BUTTTT!!!! I am so sore in my back that I can hardly walk. I can't lift my left leg to...
I have told myself that I would start walking 3 miles a day or more until my surgery date (except on Sundays). I will have walked 120 miles just at 3 miles per day. Some days I have walked as much as eight. I lost 6 lbs, and have put 4 back on as of this morning. I understand it might be muscle and the loss was probably water. I also know to stay off of the scales, but I just have the hardest time with that. Do I want to continue walking? Will my body be too used to it by the time I have surgery...
Well, it was a short journey to jump through all of Tricare's hoops. I was approved my first try. Now it is a "long" wait to be banded. In comparrison to my 20 years of being heavy it is almost instantanious. I will be banded 6 months from the start of my journey...10 weeks after my approval. My doctor is so booked up. The day I turned 40 my body acted like it never had before. Everything hurt. My sleep patterns grew worse. I'd sleep in and still feel I needed more. I had SEVERE headaches...
