My new year Lucky 13 started off great this morning on a personal level. I am down 200 lbs total now! Highest weight was Feb. 23rd 2011 440 lbs. I weigh 240 this am...that is 65 lbs down from pre-surgery fasting and 40 lbs down from Rny Nov 15th 2012...I know I will get to goal this year and nothing feels better than that realization! I hope this year is one of health and wealth for you all!

10 days post-op and a couple updated video blogs
Nov 24, 2012
I am finally home and beginning to feel really good again. Surgery was ten days ago and I have spent most of those days in hospital with complications. Yesterday I was able to go out and Christmas shop for hours.....hurt a little but I m getting stronger and stronger every day!
I have recently made a few more youtube videos me post op, post complications (Ileus) and a new and improved me yesterday!
Here is where you can find them if you happen to want to see what ten days and the weeks leading up to looks and feels like...

I am doing pretty good with nutrition and fluids and have learned just how important it is to eliminate. I am sure to keep that on schedule from here on out!
I am HAPPY!

One week post op and back in hospital with an ileus
Nov 22, 2012
Happy Thanksgiving? Not so much!
I want so badly to be home with my family.
Let me back up....two days ago I was sent to the ER by my clinic where I was admitted to the hospital....backing up further...I woke up Tuesday with a hugely distended belly and severe pain I had still passed next to no gas and not had a bowel movement since days before surgery.....Not fun!
After 24+ hours in the ER they finally found a bed for me. I have had every blood test, XRAY, CT scan etc possible and it looks like I have an ileus. This means my digestive track, intestine, colon, bowels etc are all sleeping (temporarily paralyzed) due to he ttrauma from surgery. This happens from time to time with abdominal surgery. The CT scan shows I am chock full from top to bottom literally. They have tried all sorts of methods of removing and getting things moving and all have failed. Now I have to just sit in hospital on IV with nothing by mouth at all until it wakes up....I asked how long this can take and they have no definitive answers for me. I just have to wait.
My Dr left for Africa right after my surgery so the other team members have my file but I am being looked after by jr non bariatric surgeons and doctors and this upsets me.
I was doing so well and doing everything right. Complications do arrise and this is one.....One that I was not made aware of before surgery to my knowledge. But they happen.
I wish all my American friends a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Be thankful for your health and being with the ones you love today.

Day 4 post-op feeling good (new video)
Nov 19, 2012
Well day four and I am doing great! I recorded a new video just now and you can find it here: http://youtu.be/vwhuRdj7638 Warning the video shows my incisions.
I have also been using My Fitness Pal and love it! My profile there is http://www.myfitnesspal.com/shrinkingevie
I would love it if more would add me there so I can see how others are managing after surgery.
Oh and dont walk for an hour and a half three days after surgery it makes for a sore belly.
