It's been a long road coming....

So my life has changed in many ways over the last two years. I have blogged in that time too, May 4th of 2016 I got my weight loss surgery, then on March 2nd 2017 I had to have emergency surgery to get my gallbladder out due to rapid weight loss. I did get a job on October 21 2017 as a caregiver and that has been a rocky road also. I am almost to my 2 year weight loss anniversary and I have lost almost 100 pounds and it has been the hardest road I have even been down. In the first year I lost 70lbs and was stuck for a very long time but the last year has been where I have been dropping the pounds but I still have to be careful on what I eat and drink because I can still gain the weight back. I still have to eat smaller meals but I find it that the last year I don't get hunger pains any more so I tend to forget to eat but I have been real good about get my water in and I do drink between 49 to 80 or more oz in water a day. I think working has helped me lose most of the weight since ...

Surgery day 5/4/16

Image
So today was my day I couldn't be any happier. My surgery day finally came 5/4/16. I was so scared and so nurves but once they wheeled me back and helped me into the OR table I was out. Once out of surgery I was so tired and so sore but still in and out of things. My mom brought my kids up and I loved that so much and then my bestie came with her friend and then my husband came and I loved it so much. Once they left I did a lot of sleeping and waking since the nurses come in about every 2hrs or so to take vitals and give you meds. Thursday was by off a really bad day for me I was so sick and in so much pain but I didn't want to complain. I went home Friday and Friday I was feeling good and so ready to go home.

Surgery....

At this point I am holding my breath to see f I really do get this surgery or not. I did go see a behavior health person and once again She even said there is no way I need 6 to 12 visits and hope Molina will take that as an ok to get the surgery. I go back to BH on the 25th of this month and will see what she says and if everything is ok and she feels comfortable she will write the letter and send it to Molina or rockwood. I will know more too on the 28th when I go and see my nut.
