Nettyinlacey

It just all of a sudden happened. I haven't been feeling really well today, Havent drank a lot of anything, had the runs for a bit then started to dry heave. Sucked on a cracker now I am feeling better.

wELL THIS MORNING I GOT UP AROUND NOON. I NEEDED TO TAKE MY Vitamin PILL SO I GROUNDED IT UP AND PUT IT IN SOME sugar free pudding. I ATE ABOUT HALF THE CONTAINER. I AM STILL HAVING PAIN LIKE A HORSE KICKED ME IN THE STOMACH. I FEEL LIKE I WANNA BURP BUT IT HURTS TOO MUCH.sHOULD I TAKE GAS X STRIP AT THIS TIME. Sorry didn't see the caps lock was on and I am to worn out to retype. Have a great day everyone.

My doctor ordered liquid vicadin for my pain. It taste terrible but helps with the pain.

I just had my surgery on Friday so I am still a little sore but it seems after I drink my Protein drink I am in pain. Is that because it is telling me I am full? This is all new to me. I appreciate all answers.

My Protein shakes are thin and 11oz. I think my body is saying I am too full. I will try to do 8oz next time to see if that makes me feel better. Thank you for your responses.

And how do I get the ticker for the bottom?

03/19/2014 Today I decided to do the lap band surgery. I am very fortunate because my mom will be funding my success. Which means that I really need to start my lifetime change. Right now she is in a nursing home and hopefully will return home on the 24th. I have signed up for my seminar on April 10th in Lacey, Washington. 8 years ago I did research for the gastric banding because I worked for the state and they did not cover the surgery. After about 3 appeals, I was so disappointed that I just gave up. Shortly after that I quit my job at the state and decided to work at a casino. 2 weeks later the gastric bypass was offered to the state employees. Well now I am rediscovering the surgery. My mother is getting older and she said she wants me to enjoy my 8 grandchildren a little bit longer. So here I am telling my story from the day I decided to get the surgery. I will always be grateful to my mom for setting me in motion. I love you mom. So here we go: I am starting at about 350lbs and the weight limit to have it done here in Olympia Washington is 350lbs. So with that in mind, I have decided to start curbing some of my sweets, Pasta, rice and bread. Now I don't have a problem with the rice or even the pasta but will have a little problem with the bread and a big problem with the sweets. I do pretty good on a monthly basis but because I had cancer of the cervix 7 years ago. I had my uterus removed which I think put me into menopause. Anyway for some reason a few day of the month I really and I mean really crave sweets. I can sit and eat a whole bag of gingersnap Cookies, or eat 3 or 4 candy bars or even a box of poptarts in one sitting. So tonight I am looking at things to throw out to start my journey. I will try to update every day to keep me accountable but if not at least once a week. I am taking care of my mom and also my 98 year old uncle that is also in a nursing home so sometimes I have a very busy schedule. A little about my family: I got married 5 years ago to a man I met on the internet and he is my world. He tells me all the time he loves me just the way I am. I have a daughter that is 37 and twins that are 27. My oldest daughter has 4 boys and my youngest daughter has 3 boys and one girl on the way. My son has no children at this time. He is working on his career. I love my grandchildren very much and want them to be proud of their grandma. My father passed away 10 years ago and my stepdad passed away September this year. I have a sister and brother that are older than me and I have written off because of the things they have done to my mother since she has been in a nursing home. But that is another book in itself. So at this time the only other people that know about my journey is my hubby, my youngest daughter, my mom and now YOU! Thanks for being here. I think that is more than enough for tonight so I just want to thank you all for being here and being supportive. It will be a journey that I want to remember everyday.Pictures will come later when I get enough confidence.

Got my surgery date! Looks like May 30 2014. Kind of excited kind of nervous.
