Reasons why I want VSG...
Hi Kass, I am so glad you are going well... My first week was easy, I was going great, getting proteins, etc...then after the first week, It became more and more difficult. It's weird, you had a very difficult first week, and now are doing great! Guess we all have to live one "hell week"... I just called Martine, and she said that maybe my stomach is just still swollen, but she didn't like the fact that I have diarrhea , she called the doctor, and they will have me check for clostridium difficile, because the woman in the bed next to me in the hospital had it !! If it's ok, then I'll wait and if I can not eat better in a week, I will go see the doctor and he will check for an infection or a stricture. Hope it's nothing and it will be better soon.
Thanks, I am so happy to have all my friends here to listen when it's not so easy!
((hugs))

Hi everybody...great post Anne!!
Diane--->So sorry to hear about your tough days...but girl you know you're stronger than that!! We've been living the life of "fat" girls (I can say that...lol) how much tougher can that be!! You need to remember why you're doing this. What your motivation is...
As for your husband...give him time to accept what's going on and what is happening to you. You've had time to focus and accept what you want but he's still 10 steps behind you trying to catch up. Yes it's possible he may feel a tad threatened. Your new tool is an empowerment for you!! He may not be use to it and needs to see that you will still be you...even as a skinny bum!! lol
Sit down with him away from the kids...discuss how you feel and how what he's doing makes you feel but in turn you must be open enough to listen to him and try and find a middle ground.
Sorry if I sound like a therapist but all my friends tell me I missed my calling and should have been one...lol
Kass,Derek,Anne and Diane love your lists!!!
Here's mine:
1. To Live- My daughter lost her dad when she was 12 years old(she's 19 now) to complications from obesity,alcohol and smoking.I've seen first hand how losing a parent affects a child so when my baby said to me a few years ago " Mom I love you and I don't want to lose you" It woke me up.
2.My health...no more diabetes, high bp, and extreme pain in my knees that is so dibilitating you hold on to a wall as you try walking down a hall and trying to keep the pain to myself so nobody sees.
3.I want to be able to do things with my daughter. eg:Go shopping...very simple but when you can't walk very far a real obstacle.
4.I teach part-time a very energetic italian kindergarten class of kids between the ages of 3-5.I want to be able to run around with them and get down on the floor with them and just plain have fun!!
5.I want people to stop telling me "you have such pretty blue eyes" or "such a pretty face" but what I truly want to hear is..."damn is she ever hot!!"
6.I wnat to go to "La Ronde"!!!!! and ride all the rides and scream down the rollercoaster with a hot guy holding on to me!!
7.I sooooooooo wnat to wear my daughter's clothes...lol I keep telling her..."just wait 'till I lose weight and then I'll be borrowing everything" But seriously I want to be able to wear some gorgeous fashions and HIGH HEELS!!!!!
8.Sex...well I just want to get me some!!! Preferably with someone tall, dark and somewhat younger than me...who will need to be young to keep up with me!! lol
9.Airplanes...hate those seats!! Haven't been on vacation anywhere for 10 years!!! Which brings me to my no.10
10.If the surgery happens relatively soon barring any complications I want to go to Italy when I turn 50 (in 4 years) with a very good friend who works for Air Canada. So...I speak the language fluently she works for Air Canada...I drive standard (she doesn't) but she gets great deals on hotels because she works for Air Canada...yup...something to focus on ...!!
I could go on and on but after re-reading my list I'm looking forward to adding to this list as I go along in my journey!!
Good-night all!!
