Hey all its Stacie here. Doing pretty good lately.  I've lost 60lbs, post op 4 months. Just started working out this week. I'm really happy bout that. This flabbing out stuff is grossing me out. lol Haven't really had any bad days lately. Been feeling pretty good over all. I seem tired alot but thats about it. Not a hole lot to say. Hope all are doing well.

xoxo,

Well i'm 2 months out now. I've lost 40lbs.  Is hard to believe. I am feeling much better than last post. The doc gave me meds for the issues I was having before and I feel much better. Dr. Frantzides and his staff are just wonderful. The only time I don't feel good is if I've had more than I should. My clothes are getting baggy on me. I'm not even sure what size I could be wearing right now.  I can't wait til I start working out.  I can see the flabbiness and I really don't enjoy that. but I was told I wouldn't really be able to do much working out til 3 months out. The thing I wish I had a better grasp on is what  to eat.  I mean I know what I can and can't have still but how to make or what kinds of things to make.  Well I just thought I'd drop by and say hello and that i'm doing much better than last. Hope everyone else is doing good also.

Well it's been almost a month since my surgery. I've already had thoughts of why did I do this. I have good days and bad days. My surgery went fine. I've lost over 20 pds which is nice but I'm really not all to comfy. I'm tired alot, at first when I came home I was up til late hours because I couldn't get to sleep. I'm not one to sleep on my back. I now sleep on my sides a little. But I am mostly uncomfortable because its seems I can't really eat anything. I feel like I'm gasy alot. I get this stuck feeling or something to that affect when I eat/drink sometimes. I'm really not eating much cause when I do I don't feel good. I only eat my protien drink drink, broth and yogurt, foods that I really don't have to chew. I'm hoping this passes soon as it really is making me miserable. My doc and the people at the hospital were great and still are. I can call my surgeons office anytime I need to and they are very helpful. I go back to see the surgeon next week. So hopefully we can figure something out as to why i'm feeling the way I do. I'm just hoping this passes and i'll start feeling well soon.

Well another day closer. Wow can't believe it's so close. I'll be happy when it gets here. I've been so busy doing so many things to get ready for the day of and the days after. Today is my liquids only day. Trying to get so much done today cause I hear tomorrow I'll be pretty busy in the bathroom.eewwww. Being a single mom I have to prepare alot. My stomach is growling like crazy already. A week and a half no smoking. I'm pretty proud of myself for that. I'll be going threw a lot of gum today I'm sure. But anyways I'm feeling pretty good about all of this. Really not too nervous at this point. Thats all for today. God Bless All.

9pm...
   Oh im naughty..on liquids today and I had about 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes. My jaw is getting sore from chewing so much gum. I'm really not looking foward to tomorrow. If I get a chance i'll get on here a post something.

Well today is the 18th of October. My surgery is scheduled for the 22nd. I've totally stopped smoking. It's been a week and a half since i've had a cig. I'm hoping I won't start again after surgery but i've smoked since i've been 13. Getting a little nervous. I'll be starting my lovely liquids only on the 20th. I'm thinking I might even start tomorrow. I have changed my eating alot already. I've been drinking lots of water and doing the broth thing already. Alot of people are nervouse about me having the surgery. More nervous than I am. My kids really aren't to excited that I'm having it done, well my 2 oldest anyways. They, I believe are scared because I had a very close friend that died after having the surgery. But I am excited and I can't wait to start feeling better and I just keep thinking over and over how nice it will be when my knees stop hurting from carrying all this wait. I will try and post up to the day of surgery. God Bless To ALL.
