Everything's Looking Up
on June 22, 2008 8:58 pm
Everything seems to be looking up.  After my surgery, I didn't go back to work as soon as the doctor said that I could.  Instead of taking 3 days off, I took 7.  I needed the time (actually could have used more) because no one should go back to work on liquids.  I was so hungry and weak.  Glad I'm on solids now.  
     We took our cruise and I didn't eat well on it but had made up my mind that it was my vacation and I was going to enjoy it.  I did get off everything I gained plus 10 pounds before I went to the doctor though.  I sometimes think that you need to jog your weight loss to keep losing.
     I have sure been drinking my fill of water.  The only other thing I have is coffee and that's a cup in the morning.  And I've finally stopped drinking while I eat.  I joined a gym and start tomorrow night.  Now I've got to start counting my calories because my doctor said that I need to be around 1000.

4/12/2008 - 5 days to go
on April 12, 2008 7:49 am
Everything finally worked out for my pre-op.  I got in last Thursday and all the test have been done and also the seminar.  Surgery is now 5 days away.  My friends are trying to fatten me up more before the surgery because everyone is wanting to take me out.  I've never ate as much.  Guess I better watch out.

I got a call and my surgery date has been scheduled for April 17.  I am so excited.  But something has happened that has worried me that the surgery will have to be postponed.  I got my letter for my pre-op testing on Friday, April 4 after I got off of work.  When I opened the letter, it said that my pre-op test were scheduled for Thursday, April 3 which was the day before.  I'm so worried now that I missed the testing, and if they can't work me in this Thursday, I'll have to be rescheduled.

I had my surgery scheduled for 6/19/08 and thought everything was a go until I met with my doctor week before last.  He was not happy with the date because it was so far off.  He asked me why I had scheduled it so far off and I told him that since I was supervisor at work and had one off with surgery and one just starting that I didn't feel like I could miss.  He assured me I wouldn't be out long............so today my surgery was moved to April 17 and I'm starting to get a little nervous.  I'm very surprised at this because I didn't think I would be nervous at all.  And yet, I can't wait to be healthy.

My Story

I have been large most of my life.  When I was a baby, my dad thought I was going to start to death so he started feeding me biscuits and gravy.  I have a picture of myself at 5 and I was still extremely small.  When I started 1st grade, I weighed the least in the class and was always tall.  We were weighed in front of the entire class and kids started laughing at me.  So I ate to not be the smallest kid in the class and when we were weighed the last day of first grade, I weighed the most of anyone in the class.  I was the heaviest one in my class all the way through school.  My mom was always coming up with this diet or that diet for me.  Nothing ever worked.  Oh, I lost the weight but I'd gain it back with more.  A friend at work had the lap-band surgery last year and she looks so good now.  I'm ready to feel better and look better.
