Crossing My Fingers

Diet appointment is tomorrow.. If I dont lose any weight, we are going to try to work around the insurance to get me approved for surgery because the medicine I’m on makes me retain water..

Friday is my Hematologist doctor appointment to see if my blood clots are gone.. if they are, I will be cleared for surgery from that doctor.. 

Hopefully all goes well.. I want my surgery so bad.

Whoo Whoo!

Just had my monthly weigh-in and I lost 12 pounds!  20 more to go.. before I can qualify for surgery.  It’s so hard getting this weight off with this medication that I am on.. It makes me retain a lot of water.  So, I don’t think I will be having surgery in August.. maybe September!

Huge Weight lifted off my shoulders!

Sooo, me and my fiance went to his grandparents house yesterday and I haven’t seen them in like a year!  I have gained soo much weight since last time that I saw them, so I didn’t wanna go inside.  My fiance talked me into going in and I did.. and it wasn’t bad at all.  They are very supportive and uplifting!  I told them about me wanting surgery in August but I wasn’t sure if I was going to have enough money.  They offered to loan me the money!  They are such amazing people.  I wish my mother could be more sensitive and caring.. So, as long as I get cleared for surgery from my blood doctor and my blood clots are gone.. I will be having surgery in AUGUST!!  Woo-Woo.. So excited!  

Now, I just need to find a job and get the fuck out of here!!  :]

Stress Stress Stress

Unemployment is running out and I am currently searching for a job.. nothing has been promising yet and I have applied to TONS of places..  

on a better note,  I have $600 saved up for my surgery.. I’m getting a little more hopeful that I will be having surgery in August.. Just need about $900 more!!  and clearance from my doctor.  I will be having another scan done on my lungs sometime this month to see if the blood clots are gone.. I’m nervous but I’m hoping for the best.  

Thank you to all my new followers!!  :]

Let me first of all say this, I had complications relating to seperate illnesses, so don't panic when I write about immense sickness or pain. The way I could best describe the feeling of your stomach after surgery (first few days) is like you have been doing some serious ab crunches or yoga. My tummy felt stretched as if I'd done some hardcore exercise, not painful just different. I had alot of trouble tolerating fluid and I ended up back in hospital (just got out today actually). I seriously advise you to be prepared for some really difficult times. I do not regret the decision, but when I was really sick(from other things, but combined I felt like I was going to die) I asked my parents to kill me, and I cried about wishing I hadn't done anything. but when I look back at photos, ie the one I just posted, I'm really proud that I had the strength to keep going, because I already look alot different. I shall post more progress pictures soon. :):) I'm really glad I found you, you are the ONLY other sleeve person I have found! x

oh ok!  yeah I was a little scared about the pain part of it.  I’m super excited but I don’t deal with pain very well.. haha.  That sucks that you had to go back into the hospital.. are you doing better?  I’m excited to follow your blog and see your progress, I can not wait until I have my surgery.. I just need to save up the extra money for it.  Keep up the good work!!  You are such an inspiration!!  :]

I'm also proud that you chose the gastric sleeve. I initially was booked for the band, but changed on recommendation from my psychiatrist and surgeon. It has been the hardest thing I have ever done, and all those people that say surgery is cheating are fuckwits. I had mine done over a month ago now. Check out my blog and please ask me any questions!! xx

Yes I agree, surgery is not cheating!  It’s a HUGE decision.  I read a couple of your posts and you are doing amazing!!  Great progress!!!  I see that you were in a lot of pain.. is the pain better now?? Do you regret your decision to get the sleeve?
