Weight Loss Post Gastric Bypass UPDATE
Current mood: cheerful
Category: Life

Welcome to me, this is what I feel like saying now. I have successfully lost 78pounds to date. Whoo hoo me!! I weigh less now than when I graduated high school and am still losing. This is such an awesome wonderful thing, feeling better, looking better, and being noticed as a person not for some big "fat" girl. Yes I am still overweight, but this surgery has changed my life, for the better!!! I am no longer taking medication for my diabetes or my blood pressure, they are both well under control now. For any of you who know me, then you know my fear of diabetes and how wonderful this is for me. I have been asked would I do it again, my answer would be a resounding YES!!! Would I recommend it to my friends.. YES again!! When you have tried everything and feel like there is no hope left, that is where I was at, now I feel like I have a new life. I feel sooo much better, even my daughters are happy for me. This is wonderful. New pics will be posted in a few days.. look back to see them.

Love You All,

Jenn

Post Gastric Bypass
Current mood: nauseated
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

Wow, today is two weeks since I was discharged home from the hospital. Would you believe that I have already lost 20 pounds, isn't that amazing and wonderful. I think so, however, i do also say that this is a way different type of life now.  Only to get better, it is unbelieveable, no desire to eat, drink or anything. This is good except for the fact that to live you must do both, as I have found out if you dont you become dehydrated, weak, sick, and almost feeling worse than before. So with my head held high I continue to move forward each day, trying again and again to meet the goals required for protein and water, guess what, it is impossible. There is nausea almost daily and when you do eat you have to be careful about not getting sick. I dont know if anyone can actually meet them. I am a little nervous about this because if you dont already know i will tell you something, if you are low on protein you will lose muscle mass, become weak, tired, and eventually start to lose your hair, I am scared to death of this, I guess I am too vain maybe?? However today I have been told that I can increase my diet so I am trying, tuna and eggs, today.  MMMm right??  So I will keep trying and watching my progess and let it be known here. SO for now whoooo hooo on the minus 20pounds and counting. Good Luck too ME, after all this is what I chose and what I wanted, It WILL all be worth it in the end..

It is here, today is the day!!!
Current mood: excited
Category: Nervous Goals, Plans, Hopes

Well, it is finally here, today is the day of my surgery. I am sitting here waiting to go to the hospital, thinking of all of the possibilities good and bad. Most of which make me a little nervous but excited as well. A whole new life is what my best friend who has had the surgery says it will be.. I just am afraid that it may not happen that way, but when I think on the negative side I try to push it away and think positive again, hey I have two beautiful daughters, wonderful family, and friends who need me in their life. So wish me luck, I need it..and if your praying people remember me and my family through this anxious time.. pictures will be posted eventually so that everyone can follow my progress..Lots of luv to all of my friends.. See you soon...
