Happy Tuesday

Well monday was ok . We had scouts Bailey got his 6 arrow points YEAH . So he finished his wolf book . He was one of the first ones to do so . I also got my Tiger Den leader knot patch .

NOthing to post really i am just in one of my down moods. I know why but sometimes in life you just dont post it all over the world to know. (so dont ask because its personal things and some of you probably wouldnt understand lolol) But i am ok . Think my weight loss has alot to do with it . Still trying to keep food down. But it will get there .

Kids are well. We really dont have much going on this week. THe children's father is coming home this weekend so they will be busy with him. ALso Bailey has pinewood derby races this weekend.

Ok off to wake up kids for school

Juliet

What a weeekend (sat )

WOW i hurt so bad its not funny anymore lolol. My support group and me went walking on a unleveled track out in clear lake at some golf course. IT was cold and some times sprinkled on us but it wasn't going to stop us. (SO that was 2 miles we walked ) . Then i came home and my best friend keivn called and we (kids and me) went with him to the car show. Well of course its packed so we parked way out in space . Then we had to walk for ever to get to the reliant center. By the time we got to the show my legs were killing me . SO i walked for about 2ish hours then karley was getting sleepy so her and me sat down while the boys looked at the cars. Then we leave to go to olive garden.... it was full,then we go to pappesitos(spelling) it was full.........so we go south freeway that olive garden full...........so we ended up on 1-10 to that pappas by this time it was 9.00 karley is so sleepy she wouldnt eat her giant icecream she got. Bailey and me brought our food home . SO we slepted in this morning.


Today i am cleaning house and then we are going to los amigos to visit with my angel STEVEN (LOOK I SAID YOUR NAME LOLOL ) and Donna too so i can get our scout fair tickets stuff. (ANYONE WANT TO BUY TICKETS LOL)

Then i am coming home and resting . SO i hope you all had a great day .



SIde note i weight at moms on both of her scales one said same as last week and the other said 6;lbs less so who knows. I am going to get my a scale sometime soon and hope it will give me the right scale.




HAve a great weekend

Juliet

Just bummed

Ok i am just down today. I am tired of not able to get food down. i will eat something chew it until its nothing and boom i am in pain and going to the bathroom to face the bottom of the trash can or toliet. I am fixing to just say forget food and just drink water the rest of my life. NO i am not saying i regret i had surgery its the best thing that could of happen to my body and me. But dang it its like nightmare figuring out what i can keep down and not. Its just driving me NUTS. So thats why i didnt post anymore menu's up this week because yall probably would of fussed because the things i have eaten probably dont even fill two large baby food jars. I know this is just part of the surgery process i must go threw but dang it i dont know what else to eat besides EGGS.

Guess i will start talking like a chicken laying eggs. lolol


Ok now since i fussed on here i feell better.................


Thank god my angel keeps my spirts up for me. He is such a great person. He knows what i am going threw so he can relate and tell me things. (yes i know some of you are on diets and i am sooooooooooo proud of you all but having wls is so much different then a diet plan or program. )


Well you all have awesome weekend I will be walking with my wls buddies in clear lake sat, hitting krogers sales, going to walmart and cleaning house what a weekend lol


LOVE YA
JULIET

I HAVE A HIP BONE

So here is my menu for today

Breakfast water , lunch meat ham(piece of it ) and some cheese

Snack water (peach)

Lunch Homemade chicken soup (my stepfather made for me YUMMY) ,

Snack Water and fruit cup (first day to try this so i am hoping it stays down)


Supper COD Fish with made up tater sauce (mayo with pickle relish and what ever else i can find.

HAPPY TUES

GROSS day

WOW what a day. Went to walmart and while there Karley and me went to Mcdonald's to eat breakfast. Well, since i can eat chicken and eggs thats what i got. WELL i was threw about 3 bites (SMALL) and i started feeling like something was stuck and i couldnt eat. So we packed up everything and went to the bathroom.
WELL i will save you the details but i will say the toliet saw my face three times lolol. SO guess i wont be eating their chicken (breaded) any time soon.

I feel better after the chicken met the toliet. But I was scared i didnt know what was going on. So i had to call my angel and he reassured me i was ok .


SO still dealing with my back pain if it doesnt get better soon i will be looking for a doctor . I have always had back troubles (thanks to 3 shots and two spinal taps that went wrong in the past) but not sure about this pain its been four days now and its driving me insane.

DOCTOR SAID SO LOl

Well yesterday went to doc. I have lost according to his scale 28.8 lbs which is gone for life.

I am off my Blood pressure meds as well. I still take nexium and list of vitamins . So all is well. I am having troubles on eating still but that is expected. My stomach is learning all over again to accept foods and sadly some foods i just wont be able to eat anymore. But its ok iam sure i will eat new things that i have never ate before and will enjoy and be healthier.


This weekend not sure what we are doing since its so cold. I do know i will be hitting up Heb and Krogers for their AWESOME sales. ANd i am hoping i can go to the farmers market but not sure yet.

So thats about all i am feeling good besides a minor back pain . My clothes is fitting loose but not a whole bunch yet.





OK off to cvs to get back cream.

have a great weekend

HOME from surgery

Well surgery was not until 1pm ish and i came out of recovery around 5ish. I had some set backs i was not able to SIP a sip of water or i would gag ten times so The doctor took me off all liquids. We tried again on wed same thing so i was taken off AGAIN off of all liquids .


(at this time i wasnt the happy cajun girl i would normally be.) I guess you can say i might of been a little in the regretfull mood. I asked my self that night WHY did i do this ? Was this the right thing? IF its going to be this hard to drink what was the point. WEll of course i have great family and support angel and friends and if i want a longer life with them and my children then i had to do this FOR ME . I know what its like to be fat as a child and adult and i was tired and i didnt want to deal with that anymore. SO YES i know i made the right choice of having this surgery. I have a great doctor and a new support group family . So i finally hit a mile stone and was able to get things down on thurs (AMEN) and i came home to my wonderful kids and my home and i have enjoyed being home and just waiting for the healing process to end. I am eating creams of soups, liquids and cant forget the sugarfree popsicles lol. On 13th i go to the doctor and that will be the week i start blending foods to the texture of babyfood. I cant wait.

Heres my breakdown
Took me 4weeks to get all my screens done and aproved by ins
2weeks liquids diet
then surgery
Not everyones surgery will happen this quick but it can.

My weight status
started my journey with 296.6 (YIKES)
liquid diet for two weeks before surgery and the morning of surgery 276.0
i lost 20lbs on the liquid diet (yes i cheated on xmas day but i only had ONE teaspoon of foods at moms )

I am looking for a exciting 2009 and i hope your 2009 will be as great as mine.
May GOd bless you in everything you do

LOVE
JULIET

HAPPY NEW YEAR
