I was feeling the same way my surgery was

January 22, 2013 too. I'm getting in over 1000 calories a day. Usually I start the day off oatmeal and then I have tuna for lunch and then I'll have a chicken salad or tuna again for dinner. I'll have maybe 1 fruit during the day like a banana and then after dinner I'll have a snack as in sugar free pudding. The oatmeal I usually use Stevie as a sweetener, 2 tablespoons of canned milk for Vitamin D. And a little bit of butter.

Usually my Meals are no more than 4 ounces.

I usually drink 40 and 50 ounces of Water everyday.

I will drink all the way until midnight just to get in the ounces of Water that I need. At midnight And yet the scale does not move downward. Instead I have gained 4 pounds . Pre op 225. Today 204.5. I was sad too. But I have noticed that I have lost inches in the waist, neck, and bust.

I have decided today to increase my Protein and instead of the minimum of 60 I will try to get as close to 80 as possible. Other than that I do not know what I'm doing wrong. I leisurely walk a mile everyday and not all at once. Last week I exercise using walk away the pounds video.

Well you brag right on. It is hard as heck trying not to eat around multiple individuals. Sticking to your guns!!! How about a round of applause. (Qween stands and claps loudly).

Not starving. Sleeved on 1/22/13.

Yes I am currently using the

New whey liquid Protein (42g) 3.3oz

Flavor: Blue Raspberry. Only flavor avail @

Purchased: GNC.

Sleeved:1/22/13 @210lbs.

(Start wt =225-25) = 200 lbs today @2:00 am.

198 lbs today @9:00 am.

I don't care for the flavor but it will do for now. It makes it easier to get closer to my dr's recommended 60g of Protein a day.

It was the 1 ingredient I forgot to buy for post op items. The day I was released from the hospital I ran to GNC and that was the only flavor they had left. At least it's removed the pressure of trying to squeeze in 60 grams from shakes. I will be on Clear liquids for 1 week...2 more days to go. 1st Post Op appt. 1/28/13. MONDAY HURRY UP!!

I'm not hungry though. 5days post-op.

Reweigh myself when I woke up this morning around 9am and scale says 198lbs. 2 pounds less when I weighed 8 hours ago..probably because I emptied bladder. I think I should report results first thing every morning instead of in the wee hours of the night/morning.

4ft 11" 40+ African American.

Size 18/20.

225 lbs before Surgery.

221 lbs before PreOp Diet.

210 lbs after 2wk PreOp Diet.

Sleeved on - 1/22/13 @ 7:30am.

Light exercise for last 4 days. .

1/27/13 @2:56am Weigh In = 200.lbs

5:00am- 208lbs Weigh in. 1/22/13.

7:30am -Tues. January 22, 2013 Sleeved and Hernia repair.

Walked around only did approx 300 steps then I slept. Pains between lower breast and abdomen. Gas that won't pass. Nauseous. Vomiting. Every 2 hours. Dizziness. Feels a little like I gave birth. I guess I did. Another version of Myself. I'LL TRY to take good care of "her." Even took the flu shot. NJ epidemic here.

Day 2 . I was totally sick all day. Lots of vomiting like every hour. Lots of pain due to gas. Was sick off of morphine somehow, although I've had it before. Ate ice chips. Managed 1 oz of crystal light with Protein and 1 oz if broth. Kept an extra day for observation. .

Day 3. RELEASED. Most of pain gone.

Feeling like brand new. Ate Jello, broth and drank an ounce if crystal light with Protein. Finally passed lots of gas. Walked 1 mile today in the hospital.

When I got home I manage 8oz of broth this evening.

Day 4. 1:55 a.m. I'm writing this note feeling good and sipping on a 3.8 oz of a New Way liquid (42g) Protein Bullet. Managed to get 1 oz done. Took a dose of tylenol with codeine for pain and gas medicine. I think I made a mistake to do Protein Shake now. I read its suppose to be done between meals. Oops.. I was trying to be at the head of the protein game...geesh.

Surgery finally happened Yesterday... They called me Monday approx. 8 hours after my previous post..saying ready to go Tuesday..January 22, 2013. Still in the hospital had to stay an 2013. day do to vomiting and excuciating pain. . I managed to get down maybe 1 oz. of Soup broth.< /p>

Surgery postponed!! Can't seem to get a reply from the insurance company ohh my gosh! I was supposed to be sleeved on Tuesday, January 15th and here I still sit on Thursday, January 17th. Since then I thought all was going to be good. During this journey I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, anxiety, arthritis, hiatal hernia and chronic gastritis besides high blood pressure and a BMI of 42... I thought, all the making of a quick approval but apparently not. I've been told by the doctor again maybe next week.. Monday they say by Thursday and now yesterday they said maybe next week ughh. Aetna Ins.

Until then I am still on my Protein Shakes doctor said that I could have a little bit of vegetables green... I was so frustrated that by the time I got off work at 5 I went to my mother's and I ate a small salad with lettuce tomatoes onions and garlic sprinkled with a vinegarette... And 1 cup of fat free chicken broth.. And 2 cup reg chicken broth . Yes I ate all of that Yesterday only.... After drinking 3 of my Protein Shake earlier that day ... Today back to Protein shake and Water and Jello. Uggh... I started all liquid diet January 2nd 2013 at 221down and since a week ago til..today...208lbs. I seem to have been at a standstill for the past week anyway. Uggh! NJ HERE.

Hello Everyone.

I just had my 2nd Appointment yesterday in Hamilton, New Jersey with

Dr. Yelizaveta Lisa Dobruskin.

My surgery will be in January, 2013.

www.jerseybariatrics.com

I just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully run a diary of happenings during this WLS Journey. I anderstand it will be a life time commitment.

My stats:

I am 40+, African American / Black,

4'11 and 225lbs. Mother of two and recently divorced.

I am not sure if stats are used in terms of comparisons of progress but I will try to remember that my progress is mine alone. I will be successful in this journey. I will try to stay positive. I will hopefully have no regrets and very little to no complications.

The Serenity Prayer is a good inserted here:

Lord grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

To change the things I can;

and the Wisdom to know the difference.

--Ah!men--

Woot- Hoot for the January 2013 starters!!!
