Laugh at me ( or at least with me)

Well I have a funny story to share with you all today.

I went to the movies with my hubby and my son. ( Who are the biggest supporters of my surgery) My son is 7 and he wanted to see "How to train your dragon" (B****hat is the funniest movie!!!)

So the boys make a run to the potty before the movie, leaving mom with their popcorn and drinks ( Nope I didnt have any popcorn but I shared a fruit punch with my son), Ok so I am overloaded, and trying to find some seats. As I go up the stairs my shorts are going down my butt, my thighs, and damn near to the floor. So needless to say I sat down really fast. THANK GOODNESS it was already dark in the threater. LOL The downside of weight loss.

Ha ha ha! Invest in a cheap belt to get you through the in-between-sizes til your weight stabilizes...and get rid of the big clothes!! You're getting thinner!! :P

 

I am keeping one pair of my "big" pants. They are a size 30 and right now I am in 22 my surgery is a few weeks away. But I am going to keep them and frame them combined with my finale size what ever that might be.

Woo hoo for pants falling off!!! I am so excited for you and your upcoming surgery date. You are going to do so awesome!! take care and keep up the great work

How you doing dear?

So glad to see you on here. I am doing ok for now. I was in the hospital from Thurs night till yesterday again but this time they were able to get me to 11mm. This was my 4th dilation. Hopefully I will be able to maintain until my next endoscopy if not then I head back to the ER.

*fingers crossed* I am going to be ok from now on. I am on 2 nausea meds and so far so good. I was able to start soft foods again and breakfast and lunch were good. I kept them down so dinner is my next challenge :)

omg!  that is so funny!  Isn't this journey the most fun ever!!  Amazing!  You go GF!!

Nathalie,
That is when you call me!!!! So I can come and check on you dear. We have been doing this together since the begining.

I hope its all over with now my friend. I swear, this is crazy keep your eye on the prize. ITS WORTH IT I promise.

I know it will be worth it in the end and that is what is keeping me going right now. It just sucks that every time I go in the hospital I gain like 5lbs or so of water weight when I leave. It is good to know I am well hydrated when I leave but to see the number on the scale kinda sucks.

Over the weekend I threw a fit at the hospital full on with crying for about 2 days and I feel a lot better about things. I got to yell at my admitting doctor and his boss and some nurses and it was rejuvenating...lol. I just have had so much stress lately that it felt good to cry and let it all out. So mentally I am much better now.

If I go back in I will for sure let you know. I will take my phone with internet access and make sure I get in contact with you.

Talk to you soon and take care
Nathalie
