    I'm right there with ya girl, been crying all the time. It's just stressful and scary to not have control of your body. And like you said, so sick of being so sick! Ugh! Well hopefully soon we will have better news to report to each other! hang in there!

    Hello! Just checking in to see how you and you bestie are doing? I'm hanging in there... Really struggling with nausea and not even getting close to what I need in. I know with time it will get better. I also was hospitalized 10 days post op for pancreatitis, so I think that was a set back with my recovery for sure. I have been dropping weight like crazy though! Hope everything is going awesome for ya! Hey, by chance did you get any of Carly's info? I wish I had so I could keep in touch- I just didn't get the chance to.

    I'm doing fine. Struggled a little with some cramping at the end of the day, but all good. Unable to reach my fluid intake goals just now but will keep working on it. How are you doing?

    Doing awesome. Down 40 lbs. Feel 5 years younger. Got a bounce back in my step. Still want to do 60 more though. No pain whatsoever. Eating pretty much everything just very little of it!!! I am truly blessed.

    Bummer about the reflux! I still have some pain right after swallowing, but it's much more spread out now. Like you said, everyday is getting better! I am just really weak, not even getting close to enough water or protien in. How are you doing with that? I can't believe we had surgery 9 days ago. Time flies! And congrats on such awesome weight loss!

    About 5 seconds after I swallo, I get a hard knot feeling in my throat. But it passes pretty quickly. I was told it was the gas still in my stomach. Maybe same for you? Let me know how it goes. I hope this feeling goes away soon!

Tears!!!

by journeytogether13 on 05-25-2013 at 03:43 PM
All I can do is cry. I don't understand any of this at all. I am having terrible pain, terrible heartburn, crying all the time, moody as crap, the scales aren't moving at all, and I am not able to eat a freaken thing without doubling over in pain.

I lost more weight on my own then I have with this surgery. I can't eat a thing, and it's really starting to take a toll on me. It's making my life miserable. My family is suffering. This isn't what I had expected at all. I feel

The time has finally come, I will be leaving for my plane in less than two hours. I am getting so excited. I can't believe this is finally gonna happen. I am also so happy that today was my weigh in and measuring day with my hubby. He has done this once a month for me since I started this journey back on Feb.4th, 2013. He is such a great encouragment. I am happy to report I am down 47 lbs now and a total of 22 inches. I can't believe I have done this great and I haven't even had the surgery

5th day pre-op

by journeytogether13 on 04-23-2013 at 05:57 AM
Today marks my 5th day pre-op. I was only suppose to do 10 days. But decided to do two weeks. Was worried at first how this was gonna go. So surprised it is going so well. This is my 5th day now. 10 days out from my surgery and the weight is falling off. Since I started this journey on Feb 4, 2013, I have lost 40 lbs. Can't believe I have done this much on my own already. Thought I would be hungry through this pre-op but so far so good. Trying hard to get my protein in everyday. Staying

I have worked so hard the past several months preparing my mind, body, and spirit for this surgery. I continue to work everyday, and will continue to work every day following

Fear of food

by journeytogether13 on 04-19-2013 at 12:43 PM
I find myself already fearing food. I started this journey a couple months ago. I decided that even thou the surgery was a couple months away I would try to start preparing my body and mind for what is about to happen on May 3rd, my sleeve. However, I find myself at many occasions forcing myself to eat. I don't have the desire most the time, I am afraid to look at food or want food cause I don't want to be a FAILURE once again in my life.... I hope this doesn't become a future problem for me. I
