Kids are so cruel

- Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I assure you, that fear has lingered for years now! LOL Especially at my "advanced maternal age" twins become more probable. Guess then we will have to go to 6 LOL. *my husband just said "ummm, yeah, about that...." Guess if twins happens, I'm SOL on the even number thing!

Just thought of another thing I wont have to worry about!!!

We have an amusement park with a Water world attached to it, in the city I live. Well, I haven't enjoyed anything other than the "Lazy river" since high school, due to my size. I am terrified of getting stuck in the tubes! The last time, and this is why it was my last time, I had to scoot myself down the whole tube and then jump off the end because I was to big to let the water push me down. The water couldnt push my fat behind down the slide. I never want to experience that shame again.

After my surgery, this is the first thing I'm gonna do! LOL well, maybe not the first!

A strange one... But you know the little stall showers you get to create a half bath (smaller then a portapotty)... Being able to take a shower in one of those without bumping walls or getting clostorphobic. I have one of those in our laundry room for the 2 older boys, our tub had a crack in it when we first moved here 6 yrs ago so we used the downstairs shower... I had sooooo much trouble. Well last week I noticed Water pouring into the downstairs from upstairs tub again... So we are using the little shower... Which is Much Bigger now!

Being able to wear shorts without them creeping up between my thighs

Wearing a bathing suit

Looking in the mirror

As I got out of the shower... I thought I want to be able to use a regular bath towel instead of a beach towel to cover my whole body up!

I can't wait to be able to fit comfortably in the desks at my grad school and actually concentrate on learning and not the discomfort and sense of shame.

I want to be able to sit ANYWHERE on any chair without having to worry about it creaking ir possibly breaking!

I can't wait to buy bras that are pretty and suitable for a woman my age! I want to know what it's like to shop in Victoria Secret and regular sized stores.

I want to NOT have to struggle to put my socks on.

I want to feel energized and not in pain.

I want to exercise without feeling pain.

Ahhh there's a lot!

Oh! Oh! I want to wear my car seatbelt comfortably and not have to struggle getting into and out of the car! Also, I want to be able to go out to eat and sit in a booth and not have to worry if I'll be able to fit or not.

I feel ya on this one. I love the bras from LB, but when I walk past the VS in our mall, it just makes me sick. I want to wear those beautiful bras and panties and not have a thong look like the string holding a Christmas ham.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
