3 weeks on Monday!!!!

Well, lets see......last Monday was my 2 week checkup at the Barix. Lorne decided to come with me, thank goodness, cause we met some nasty ass weather on the way home!

So we got to the Barix about 330pm a bit early, but I was going to go up and see a friend who had her surgery that day, but unfortuntely she was still beat from the surgery. So I checked in and lone be hold, I got called in right away. My appointment wasnt till 5pm, so this was great. Went in got weighed, I have lost since surgery 10lbs. That was on Monday! Im very happy. Dr. Schram says I am doing amazing. and he could even notice a difference in me in jsut two weeks as well.

So I will be weighing myself on Monday too see how much I have lost. Should be interesting.

My pants are fitting so much nicer now and my shirts I dont have o stretch the bottom out anymore!!YEAH!!

Heres to more exciting discoveries in the future!!!

MISS YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER TREV!!!

Sad news as I hear things flying around lastnight about a fatal car accident lastnight on Hwy 4 south of Exeter. When you hear of situations from people and not knowing if you know them is a scary thing. I hear the a friend was killed in a car accident lastnight, but not sure if it was true. Well I got the comfirmation this morning on the news. A friend of mine was killed along with a women. The one thing that amazes me and probably will always is that his 3 beautiful children were with them as well. The women lost control of the mini van and the vehicle slid into the path of a transport truck head on. You can only imagine the images that are goign to left in the heads of those children. The one was in a car seat and the police are so amazed that nothing happened , that car seat was glued, didnt even move an inch!! Trev knew what exactly he was doing putting that car seat in.

Its hard to grasp that only 32 his life has ended, and to such an amazing friend and father. He loved his children dearly adn would do anythign for them, like any parent would.

Trev, I will miss that smile of yours and all the funs times we shared together. Your kids are going to be okay, there are so many of us that will be looking out for them. Keep doing what it is you are doing jsut in another place we will have to wait to see you once again!!

Love ya, Miss ya Trev. Rest in Peace

And Today.............

Well there I am still with my head up!!LOL, God that cocktail pump really made me feeling great!!!!

Today Im just a little over 1 week post op and I feel really good. I have no pain what so ever since about last friday ish. Trying to get in all my liquids and protein. Its hard but Im getting close. My incisions look good and no bruising at all. I think I might be one of the lucky ones!

I believe that pic was taken either monday night or tuesday afternoon. I cant remember. I wanted to get a pic of me pre-op but I was a little distracted with everything that was going on! OH well, now the fun begins with takin pics every month to see how I am doing with weight loss. I weighed myself yesterday and I have lost almost 10lbs. Its exciting to know its coming off, but I will be expecting stalls along the way. I will try to tell myself not to get discouraged because its all with losing the weight!

So I just wanted to post to let you all know Im doing great and couldnt be happier!

SURGERY WAS GOOD!

Hey everyone,

Just thought I would update you on how my hospital stay was. Well when I arrived at the Barix everything was good, they wisked me off to pre-op and got my weight which was great I was down 15lbs since my consult. They then started the dreaded IV....okay so I HATE the IV is sucks big time, three tries before they actually got it in.OUCH...so that was okay, then I did have a moment of scared. Lorne finally was able to come and see me before they took me to the OR. I left at about 1120am(I dont remember leaving the pre-op and then nothing until about 4 in the afternoon. I was so freakin drugged! I think it took a bit for my pain to become controlled. I can tell you that I dont like Morphine at all, it just made me so tired and high(LOL I know some of you are thinking that would be awesome, yeah not me) so they then finally gave me som Vicodine which worked so much better.

Meet some other Canadians there that we ended up walking the halls and hanging out for a bit. Robin adn Michelle you guys are awesome!

Then Wednesday came and I was able to go home. YEAH, I loved being at the Barix cause theytreate you amazingly, but I wanted to come back to ONT. especially to see my son and family.

So now....I still have gas issues, but Im hoping that it will leave with in the next day or so.
