I feel pretty good. Been laying around most of the day. Its hard telling a grown man and a 10 year old daughter how to do things. Today I told my daughter to put toilet paper on the holder. She goes in says she don't know how and then comes out with the ceramic holder in her hand. She ripped it right off the wall. I told her she didn't need to tear the house down to change it. Wanted to laugh but that hurt too bad. It also agrivated me cuz now i have a hole in my wall and the toilet paper is sitting on the floor.

I'm home now. Now to not to go nuts laying around. I think this is gonna be a long month or 2.

I'm home doing the happy dance! Well in slow motion. I got home around 12 30 today had a incident getting sick on the way home. Its an hour and half drive I slept the first half then woke up with gas pains and was soaking wet sweating. As we pulled into my driveway we had to stop so I could throw up. Not much but it really hurt a spot on my belly. I came right to my bedroom and layed on the bed and within 2 minutes i felt better. So took about a 3 hour nap. Your right Fenton I do spend a lot of time up on my feet, but thats only since I have lost weight before I had a hard time standing much at all had back pain and was just too big and was always tired. The doc has threatened me not to do one thing till after my follow up appt on tues. , and I plan on following his orders. Thanks for the prayers glad to be home.

Well still in the hospital dr came in and thought it best I spend another night. I guess I feel better staying too. Been sleeping on and off today. Everything seems ok with my blood pressure and I've not been dizzy no more. Last night as soon as I would go to sleep they would come wake me up. I got about 3 hours total sure hope I do better than that tonight

I was discharged from the hospital this morning at 9 and I got up washed and dressed and I guess from the bending and moving I got dizzy and nausious and ended up passing out. My blood pressure was really low too so now I am back on iv's and still in the hospital. Hoping to still go home this evening.

Things were going too good I was discharged at 9 this morning so I got washed up and got dressed then got real dizzy and nausious and passed out so here I still at the hosptital. My blood pressure dropped really low too. I'm gonna beg then to let me go home later this evening.

surgery was 3 hours but i bet most of that was from them sewing and gluing me together

Hospitals are no fun as soon as I would fall asleep a nurse would come in and wake me. I think I slept a total of 3 hours all night. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!

My insurance covered the bottem part of my belly and the hernia repair also had my pubic area lifted, I was self pay for most of the upper roll that cost almost $4000 a lot more than I expected. I couldnt see not having it all done. Not too fond of surgery so I didn't want to go home and not be satisfied and think I needed to come back in for more.

I'm on my laptop in the hospital things went wonderfull This has been the easiest surgery I ever had. I didn't even take one pain pill and I'd say my pain level is about a 1 one a scale of 1-10. I was talking on the phone in the recovery room. been up walkikng the halls I bet I walked a mile, it was slow but it felt good. I have this huge binder on and 2 drains so I look really fat, and I can tell I'm swelled even my hands are. I will go home after Breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for the prayers they must have helped!!!

I'm going in tomorrow morning for surgery at 7:30 am. I'm really scared so say a prayer for me. I was suppose to get and EKG and didn't realize that until today when they asked where I had it done, so now I have to have that done first thing in the morning. I think that is stressing me out even more than surgery.

Lynn I'm getting both of my sags fixed too. Insurance is covering the lower one and a hernia repair. I am self pay for the upper sag. That part is costing me almost $4000. I never expected it to cost that much extra, but no way do I want to go through this again so I'm paying it now because I know I won't be satified to have a extra roll on top. I have 6 days left and I am so scared. I had my physical and blood work done already so just counting the days now>

Lynn let me know how it goes. I am really scared, but I was scared for the lap band too. I guess about the same. Last appt I had with the lapband doc he said its time to check out a tummy tuck. I told him I wasnt sure I was ready yet and he really pushed me into doing it. Insurance is only paying for the bottem part of my belly and for a hernia repair and I think if im getting surgery i want all of the belly done, so I am paying for part of it myself.

Amanda sorry to hear about your mom I know how hard that is. So good of your family to hold the memorial service for you. I bet your dad will really need you for fathers day so sounds like thats the way it should be. Hope you can enjoy the cruise.

Did you all have a good Memorial day? I had a wonderful time we built a fire and made mountain pies, smores, and hotdogs. I also made fruit kabobs that was a huge hit. Even tho I had a great time I really have problems with over eating at social settings, whether it be a picnic, going out to eat with friends, or just any kind of party. I have really noticed how addicted to food I still am. It really scares me. I almost have to forbid myself to go out because I blow it almost every time. I know yesterday I must have ate over 3000 calories. Now I feel guilty and mad at myself. Do you all have these problems too? And if you do what can we do to overcome them?

- 1 this week still up 2 from my lowest but I'm ok with that. My tummy tuck is scheduled for June 17. I hope I can really do this. aJoneen.........................1 75 pounds lost!

I save the link for the group under my favorites and just click on that.

Caryn try eating fruit at night or sugar free Jello. I enjoy grapes and apples and the jello seems to satisfy the sweet tooth. I also enjoy eating at night but I'm in front of this computer that I seem to be addicted to. I have yahoo messanger and use the name scrappy_friend if you would like to add me maybe we could talk some seems we are close to the same age and might have a lot in common.

Caryn I really don't have a secret. I try to exercise 30 mins to an hour each day either by walking, curves or both. I eat around 1000 calories about 5 days a week. normally on weekends I really blow it and eat a lot. I eat 4 times a day 8am, 12 am, 5 pm and around 10 at night. I try to eat healty food but still do eat carbs. I hardly ever eat between meals, and very rarely will I eat junk food at home only if we go to a party or if its included with a meal if we go out. Remember I lost 55 pounds before sugery and 112 since. I have sort of been up and down the past week or so. I lost 7 pounds last week gained 5 of it back over the weekend and still havent lost all of that 5 pounds back and here it is the weekend again. I am also obsessed by all this weight loss thing I think about it all day long. I eat one meal and am thinking what I'll be eating for the next meal, I weight myself at least every morning sometimes more. This is also the first real diet I have every been on, so maybe thats why I'm obsessed and stick to it more.

up 2 this week better luck next friday aJoneen.........................0 75 pounds lost!

I have my date for my tummy tuck June 17 that will be exactally 15 months since my lapband. I can't believe I am really doing this. I'm scared and excited at the same time. I hope I can really walk into the hospital that day and do it.

Potatie thanks for the compliments on my Picture My 20 year old son and I do a little bit of photography. We are not professionals but have been paid to do a few shoots. I know what you mean about people asking about if I feel better it took me a long time to really say yes I do. I think that I have a hard time remembering how I felt back then. I have people tell me a I need to stop losing too. I think I really am ready to stop now. I think once I get a tummy tuck I will be at the chart weight for being healthy. I'm thinking maybe I'll be doing that in June. Today we was at a art and craft festival at my daughters school and I was working at one of the food booths and one of the ladies I know said to me I don't think I know you. I looked at her and said yes you do. and she was like oh my Rhonda? Then she was really embarrassed.
