Week 1 day 1

Wow What a week does on a weight loss patient.  I had my surgery and did very well.  I am now a week out and I am


        Down 13.5 lbs in 7 days.

To me that is a miracle.  I had my drs appt today and they were astonished how well I was doing.  I am already on track with my water and have pass beyond it.

Of course my 1st week was clear liquids and protein shakes.   It did get boring. now I am on the full liquid diet.  Anything that can be pureed can go in my mouth.
I had cream of celery soup and cottage cheese for dinner.  unfortunatly I was full and coulnd finish my protein shake.

I am going to start excersising soon.

Weight loss Surgery journal num 2

Well this is post number 2.  Thought I would talk abit about what is going on.  I tell you what tho.  Bariactric Advantage is a lifesaver.  For them to give me my vitamins for the surgery is such a blessing.  I have not heard of a company ever to do that.  All I can say is "thank you Bariactric Advantage". 

Its 27 more days till my surgery and cant wait for it to be here.  I am looking forward to starting new.  This weight is depressing sometimes.  But,  I know it will be gone before long.

Pre Op diet Day 1

Ok so today I started my 8 day pre op diet.  Wow that means surgery is just around the corner.  
This morning I had a  hazelnut coffee protein shake and this after noon I had a lean cusien meal cannaloni.  Wasnt to bad.  I think I will have a pizza lean cusiene meal.   I was allowed a yogart with lunch but didnt have it.  I might eat it tonight with my night shake.  
I am also drinking some sobe life water acai fruit punch.  Got a little aftertaste but not to bad.  0 calories it what I am looking for.


I am a bit nervous about surgery this next week but not to bad.  I have started packing and putting things were they need to go.  


I have been taking my vitamins and everything I need to do. 


Surgery in 9 days from today.  Woo Hoo.  

OMG the critics http://www.laurenshope.com

so the other day my nieghbor came up to me and asked why I was doing this surgery.  I told her to help me lose wieght,  and she remarks.  You know that doesnt work right.  I ask how she figured it doesnt work.  She told me that I have to be willing to change my whole life around and everything.  I told her I knew and she said all the people that she has seen have this surgery failed.  WOW.  I couldnt believe it.  And the worse part about it is she told me this when my daughter wasnt there.  Im thinking she didnt want to her my daughter say any thing about it.

I kinda just sat there and looked at her at 1st then told her.  Well maybe those people didnt changed there lives like they should have.  I am not that person.  I am me.  She just gave me that "yeah right" look.

Why do people have to butt in that way.

Well I just have to say to everyone.  Im gonna do this.  I have my family's blessing and its in 22 more days....Wish me luck

My 1st WLS Blog

Hi everyone.

this is my 1st blog here so I hope I am doing this right. I am a 49 year old grandmother of 6 wonderful grandchildren and mother of 3 wonderful girls. I have been struggling with obesity for around 10 years now and it is gradually getting worse.

On Aug 25th 2010 I will be going thru gastric bypass thru Dr Zeni at St. Marys Hospital in Livonia Mich. After much contemplating on this I have found myself in need of this surgery and needing to once again be healthy.

I have not always been overweight, but actually once was a bit on the overly skinny side. I don't want that I just want to be healthy again.

My health has diminished in the last 10 years to the point of partial wheelchair use. And if I am not using that I am using a quad cane. I feel 90 some days. I take more pills then my grandmother ever thought of taking. Shoot I'm on oxycodone for pain and cannot touch it.

OK. Soooo, I am hoping to keep everyone updated as much as possible on what is going on from now till surgery and beyond. I hope you all follow and keep me in your prayers.

I will post videos as they come up too.

Please join me in my journey......
