Am I really doing this??
AniO replied to Wedding Planner's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome Wedding Planner! I think most of us were nervous at this point. When you feel nervous, remember why you're doing this. That always made me feel better. AniO -
I'm so glad you went through with it and that you're already home! Keep us posted on how you're feeling. My first week was the toughest, but here I am 9 days later and I already took myself to the dentist and went to the grocery store by myself today. AniO

Thanks for all of the replies! I have been looking at Egg Face's blog. I can't wait to try her things. I'll be on mushies this coming Wednesday. Now, I'm just wait for the kids to serve me the wonderful "Play Doh Surprise" dinner they are making for me. Yum! AniO

I love your pics. You have a beautiful family! -
The baby in the pic is my youngest. The pic was taken at their birthday party when he turned one. All of my babies were born in November, so we do one party for all three. I wonder how long that will last? lol.
I'm feeling really well now that I'm on full liquids. How are you feeling Christina? You're already in onderland! Woo hoo!
Sleeve 4 me, you are in my prayers. I can't wait to hear from you after surgery.

Congratulations! I had gas pain right away, even more I started taking fluids. I hope that you continue to be gas pain free!

I sure am feeling better. The BP meds were making me feel sick so I went to my PCP and reduced the doses. That made the difference. I even drove myself to the lab (for blood work) and the store today. Yay me!

Looking for some August 18th sleeve buddies!
AniO posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello everyone, My name is Anissa. I'm having surgery on August 18, 2010. I'm looking for some sleeve buddies. Is there somewhere specific on the website where I need to go find them or am I already in the right place? LOL. OK, so like most other pre-opers, I'm nervous! http://VerticalSleeveTalk.com/images/smilies/modern/crying.gif I keep wondering what will my babies think if I don't wake up? Will they be mad at me when they're old enough to understand what happened? Ugh! I know I shouldn't worry. I have a very good surgeon. But I'm still very nervous. Thankfully, my hubby is a rock. I'm lucky to have him. http://VerticalSleeveTalk.com/images/smilies/modern/001_wub.gif -
Hey there! How are you feeling? Just wanted to let you know that you're in my prayers. I know you're feeling nervous, but I'm sure it's going to all go well. Just took a look at your pics. You're such a beauty!

Ruth (Flaca2Be), It's so nice to hear from you! I'm so glad everything went well. I'm so happy to hear that your pants are already loose on you. Woo hoo! Between the one day liquid pre-op and the first week post op, I've lost 11 pounds, but my pants are still the same. lol. But in my experience, I've found that when I'm 200+, it takes a good 20 pounds to lose a pant size. Anyway, I'm not ready to go shopping yet, so it's all good. AniO -
I'm getting married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AniO replied to ryansgirl's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations! -
Kim,
I was so scared to tell my family. My dad is an army man. He did thirty years between the Army, Army Reserves and National Guard. He still loves to run at 66. He's also into all natural eating (though he has a sweet tooth and pastries are his downfall). But he hardly reacted at all. He told me to do what I thought I needed to do. He told me he was worried about scar tissue (I had three c-sections). And he didn't protest when I had to "borrow" my mom from him for three weeks to help with my recovery. You'd be surprised. I got positive reactions from almost everyone I told. Besides, if you've prayed and feel at peace with it, no one can deter you. Good luck. Keep us posted.
Anissa (AniO)

Odd Scenario Opinions Needed
AniO replied to Carrie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm adding my hugs to the mix! (((((HUGS!!!!!))))) We're here for you and cheering you on Carrie! I think at this point you have to wait and see what the medication does and adjust accordingly. AniO -
My current "God song" is "How He Loves Us" by JesusCulture. This song makes me weep.
