Hello my Name is Deana i am a wife and mother of 2 kids. My husband is tim and my kids are trystan 9 and ariyana 4. I am a respiratory therapist of 10 years at the local hospital here were i live. When i started respiratory school i weighed 168lbs. By the time i had graduated and meet tim i weighed 189 still not to horrible. Then baby came and i gain a good 85 lbs. I now weigh 270 after trystan was born i went down to 230 but thats as good as it got. When i got pregnant with ariyana i weighed 238 and gained about 15lbs with her. Since then i been up and down with weight rangeing from 230-258. The i decided on lap band last january 2012. My husband said if thats what i want. So my journy began. I started seeing dietation every month until june and the i went to the doctor. i wasn't as focused on excerise at this time with baseball season end of year dance and so forth. I gained up to 271. That was june 4. I did my doctors office visti, psyc appointment and last dietation appointment all in the same day. This dietation was very different then the one i had been seening she is very knowledgable about the lap band diet specifically. I practice my lap band diet for the 2 weeks got my small plate and silverware and did pretty good with it. Then i started my protein shakes and broth meals for two weeks cheated a couple of times but not to the extreme. So here it is 4 weeks later insurance approved for surgery i go see doc and he oks my surgery for the next day and here i go. At the doctor i know weigh 258lbs. The next day surgery is at 1030 and i weighed in again and down to 255lbs. They wheeled me in the o.r. and the worst part the the sleeping meds in my i.v. that hurt bad, then i was out. I woke up in very little pain and when awake enough got up to a chair. A little bit after that had to do my barium swallow and passed it with flying colors. i got to leave the surgery center a 430 that afternoon. Went to the store picked up my pain meds and went to kohls for about an hour to walk around to help move the gas then i had a long ride home a 3 hours drive. i sleeped most of the way and got out about 45 min from house and walked around again. Sleep really good the first night. The soreness almost gone by the 3 rd day no more gas pain, just hunger growls. I eat my broth and jello religously. Trying to drink plenty of water but i makes me nervous that i will drink to much a once. Well now it i post op day 4 i am doing good getting around well and weighed 151lb this am. Can't wait until next week for a new set a food.
