Scale !!

Okay so I weighed myself with my clothes on and I am down 16 lbs !! That is nuts !!

Day 4

Well I woke up with this awful drymouth taste, but I am smart now, I have started to freeze my water and so when I drink it is refreshing. I tried my hardest to get the Muscle Milk down, but I could'nt. I was gagging and so, I told Mike, I need something else. Frustrated he went to Walgreens and brings back a wonderful shake, with no after taste and no smell. So far so good ! I feel good and strong. Today I am supposed to have visitors, so I have to look presentable. I will keep you posted !! One day at a time !!

Day 2 and3 at home !

Sunday was good, I did nothing all day long, then I got a bit nauseated and could not get composure. I felt weak and awuful and a nasty dry mouth taste of a bad protein shake. I just rested and then took a late walk and came back and all of a sudden I hear like a sreetch... our AC goes out ! Perfect timing ! Well at least there was some what of a breeze and Mike said he would fix in the morning.

Monday Morning: Mike and I got up around 7:30 and it was already 77 in the house. I was thinking great , I am not staying here. So I drove around with him to get all parts, but it was so draining and I was so tired and weak, I needed protein ! So I just could not get the powder down. It is so weird how my taste has changed, like really. I got home and I started researching online and found a site called Bariatric Essentials.com . The lady on there had some encouraging thoughts and ideas, and so I sent Mike back out for a already blended protein shake. He brought back Muscle Milk, which helped me within half hour of drinking. Although it is easier to get down, it smells so bad. I felt like I had that taste in my mouth all day long, but i felt good.
Tomorrow is a new day !!

Day 1 at Home

Not a good night for me. I had really bad anxiety that I was going to dehydrate myself cause I was so thirsty and drymouth. I did not know to expect this. I kind of panicked this morning and so Mike took me for a walk. It was nice, on the way back I talked to a friend and she helped me realize it is one day at a time! Today was Krysten grad BBQ, so in support of her, we went for a while. On our way, I text Josh about the drymouth and he said yes , he had it too and to sip water and popcicles even though I think too much, it will help. And it did. Now I realize that I am not the only one, and this is normal. I am having a hard time with the protein but trying to get it down.
BBQ was hott!! I tried to stay hydrated but my body was too weak, we left and came home and I cooled down and rested the rest of the day. Day 1 down and tomorrow is another day !

Day 5 in the hospital

Doctor came in very early this morning and said that I should be going home today since I had no fever the night before and that he did not think I had Cdiff but had to wait for results before I go home. Okay I said and went back to sleep. Michael since he was up stayed up and got ready, he packed up the bags and blankets and everything. When I finally woke up I was alone and thought did he go home??
Surely he didn't he was just letting me sleep:) My day nurse came in and she just rubbed me the wrong way. If anyone watches Grey's Anatomy, there is a Doctor on there that is like overly happy, like really happy, sunshine, well that is how my nurse was Fake! She came in all suited up since I was on isolation and she had all these meds and I said " am I going home today?" She said" No", I said, " why not" she said " cause i have no orders and it is best you stay" HUH???? I was so mad and so confused ! First the doctor says yes, I can now this crazy happy nurse is saying NO??? So calmly, I said" well the doctor told me I was going home today, can we find out and maybe page him?" She said " oh no honey, he has many patients other than you and I will not page him , we will wait" Okay, this time I was crying, I just want to go home, I hate the bed, I hate the hospital, and I want to go home. Mike said I need to be nice, so I took a shower and waited, and waited, and waited. I told Mike, I don't think I am going home today and he said I don't think so either. Then, the Doctor came, he said I was cleared to go !! Yeah !!!! I am going home !!
Since Mike had already packed there was not much to pack so we did that and we left !

Ride home:
Ride home was a bit rough, I had to stop since I still had diaerrea. On the last stop, the battery died on the car. So here I am in half hospital gown and Mike says, " Jess you are going to have to steeer." I have orders to not drive for 2 weeks, so I said" ok". Thank the Lord there was a man there to help Mike out push the car so he could pop the clutch.

Home Sweet Home ! Nothing like it ! I love being home. Weighed my self and I am down 5 llbs since Monday . Can't wait to sleep in my bed !

Day 4 in Hospital

Doctor came in very early this morning and said that since I had a fever I will not be going home today, but my chest xray came out good and I have no fluid in my lungs. He said he was going to order a CT scan and more blood work to see what is going on. Okay I said and went back to sleep.
9:00am - I am up and want to shower so bad. I feel like I smell from the sweating. I can not shower yet cause I need to do CT Scan. They take me down and tell me I have to drink 60 cc which is 2 oz, I laugh and say, I will try. What I was really thinking was " HELLO!! I just had surgery, I can not even drinking 1 Oz.
So, I got there another problem my IV which I was on my third one by the way, was too small for the CT, so they had to give me another one. AHHHH !! Come on, the night before that I had trouble with my IV, and they had trouble finding my veins, 7 poke attempts. So I was scared I would have to be poked again 7 times, thank goodness he found one. He was great too, he knew I was scared. So into the CT I go. Once I got back to room, I showered and was watching TV and it said Farah Faucett Died. How sad !

Midafternoon: On with the day, I was a little down, cause I had no idea what was wrong with me. Doctor came in and said CT was clear and I had no leaks and no blood clots ! Amen ! I am cleared ! So it is a mystery why I got a fever.

3:00 - I went on FB to update and what !! Michael Jackson Died !!! No way, what is up with all these celebrities dying ! I quickly flip the news on and sure enough. Unbelievable ! The king of pop is gone, just like that ! The rest of my day consumed of watching the True Hollywood story of Michael Jackson and MJ news and MJ this and MJ that ! Still no return of the fever and if all else is good through the night, I can go home tomorrow.

5:00- Carrie my nurse is really cool, she came in to let me know bad news! The said" I don't want you to get weirded out, but they want to test for Cdiff", I said " what is that" She said " "since you have had diarrhea , we need to test to make sure it is not bacteria from the antibiotics, but from the time we test, we have to put a contamination cart" I was laughing, so now I am quarantined?? She said "no, just don't go through the hall and spread your poop" We both laughed !! I said if I have this can I still go home tomorrow? and she said yes, but I don't think you have it and if you do it is treatable with antibiotics. Ok, so now I am worried I got this thing, well no need to worry. Finished the day playing cards with Mike and my nurse was leaving her shift, she said to stop in a few months, and I said okay, I said, I hope you will remember me, I am the one who was with you when Michael Jackson died ! Off to bed! I can only hope I go home tomorrow.

Day 3 in the hospital

Hi,
Well today is Day 3 and I am feeling better and stronger day by day. Today I started my day with Apple Juice. Boy was it good ! I feel great and I am very excited to go home tomorrow ! My lip is getting better and I am starting to look healthy again. Went to my exercise class again and did more excersises. Most of the day today, Mike and I played Mario cart and walked and hung out in the lobby area. I had some cranberry juice too, nice and cold and good.
My nurse today is Susan, she is young hip Asian chick and was very cool. She popped in every hour or so to check on me. I feel great!

Midafternoon-
Mike and I were playing Play Nine, and of course I was winning. By this time in the day, I developed diaraherra. Which help releve my gas as well. So I was going quite often. After the game I told Mike" Turn the air down it is getting Cold" cause of course it was like an icebox in my room. Then I put on a robe, and I thought well I am kind of tired, I am going to take a nap. I told Mike, I feel like I am getting a fever. He said no your probobly just tired. So I laid down with a blanket. Meantime, the nurse came in and I told her how I was feeling and she said, you don't want to get a fever cause if you do, there is only one way to get it down. At first I had no idea what she was talking about. So I went back to sleep and later she woke me up to take my temp:
99.9- Not to bad, let's just watch it. After an hour or so, and another blanket added, cause I just could not get warm, she came in again to take my temp: 100.9. Oh no! She said now she would have to call the Doctor and let him know.
I am thinking Great, I what in the world? why do I have a fever?? I had no pain, I was doing great and then BAM, a fever. Well about 7:30pm she came back with the tylenol, and guess what folks?? I could not take it orally or through the IV, yes, yes I had to take it the other way, like a baby ! Mike was there and I was so cold, at that point I did not care. He was laughing at my face and the nurses comments. So she said: Try to keep it in there as long as you can. So I did, I just went back to sleep.

Nightshift- I woke up about 9 and they took my temp again, 102.4 and climbing! I told Mike, call your Mom, tell her to start praying. Mike prayed for me, then called his Mom. I did not want to worry anyone, but at this point I was scared. All I could sing in my head was, "Your my healer, your my provider, I will not fear, I will not fear." I don't even know what song that was or if I made it up but I was comforted. The nurse said: You need to get out of your sauna, which was my bed, since I was freezing, I had the heater on, blankets, socks and a robe. She said" I can not give you any tylenol until 11:30" I looked at the clock and it said 9:30, "so," She said" I am going to bring you some Ice packs and you need to cool yourself down" She also brought a popcicle which helped a bit. It seemed like the longest night ever ! I was freezing already and she put ice all over me. Meantime, a chest xray was ordered to make sure I did not have phneomonia.
12 o'clock came along, she gave me another doze or tylenol and toradol which helps with inflamartion. Back to bed , with icepacks and a fever. Around 4 in the morning, I started to sweat , bad ! Yeah !!! My fever was finally breaking ! Thank you Lord ! and just like that it was gone !

Day 2 in Hospital

Good Morning !!
Today is Tuesday and I am recovering well. Today I get to have icechips !! Yeah !! I got up this morning and walked around several times. I had visitors today. My parents came to see me and then I had a class at 11:00. Excersise class. Chair exersises to be exact. They showed us different ways to do chair execerises and get our body moving and how not to get blood clots. After the class I went back to my room and then had another visitor, Anastasia my boss. It was very nice of her to drive all the way down to see me. She brought my flowers and a get well card. The day ended with more visitors. Mike and Sil came down and talked and played cards. Day 2 at the hospital done ! Until tomorrow. I love my icechips ! Tomorrow is liquid day !

Operation day !

Well I have to be in San Diego by 8:30, my surgery time is 10:30. Mike wants to leave early so we could beat the traffic. We left at 5:15 and met Tim and Angie off the fwy so they could follow us. As we were leaving Escondido area, we got a call from the hospital. They said they were waiting for us cause I was scheduled for surgery at 7:30. HUH??? All my paper work says 10:30am, thank goodness we left early. We got there at around 7:25 and I had no time at all to think. The nurse automatically took me in and I soon as I knew it I had 5 people around me asking me 100 things and dressing me, putting in Iv's and so on. I had absolutely no time at all to get nervous. God's timing let me tell you. As soon as I was set up, they called Mike in to say goodbye and I was off just like that.

Recovery:
From what I remember, I was very groggy but I remember there was a nurse by my side every moment of my recovery. I was in and out of it, but I do remember that. Once I was able to sit up and blow into the lung machine, they took me up to a room on the 7th Floor . Once I was there, everyone came up. My mom and Dad, Michael, Henry and Liv, Becky and Sil and baby Dom, Angie and Tim. It was nice, however I can not remember much. What I remember is that I had a fat lip when I woke up from surgery. I don't know why or how, but I believe I bit myself. I seemed to be functioning well and everyone went home.

Evening Approaches:
As the night came they wanted me to get out of bed and walk at least one time. I tried to get up a few times and felt nausea and decided to wait. Mean time I kept saying I am going to throw up, and there was Michael and the nurse holding me, Man did that hurt! My abdomen was in pain and here I am dry heaving trying to throw up. Finally Mike said I did a "gunshot wound" cough and there it was , unfortunately, I threw up blood, not new blood but old blood. I was crying and telling him and the nurse I was so sorry. They both were awesome and my nurse was the best. She was truly awesome. I could have nothing to eat or drink that whole day so I was soo thirsty. Finally asleep . Thank you Lord for keeping my safe !

Day before Surgery !

Wow! I can not believe it is here already ! I am so amazed. I have been praying peace into me the whole week. I am excited and ready for what is to come. I know with God's help I can do it. I am posting some pictures of me now (pre-op) so we can see my progress. I am so thankful for all my support from my family and friends. I am truly blessed to have them all in my lives. I am a little anxious, but nothing my God can not handle. "I will be still and know you are God"
Peace, in the midst of the storm.

A Mold !!

So today Becky called and said she wanted to do a mold of my body, I said sure ! So I went to Becky's and her and Mike wrapped me in duct tape. After that the girls wanted to write on my stomach and this is how our conversation went.

Symph: Tia can I write on your stomach

Me: Sure

symph:- Tia is the doctor going to push all the air out of your stomach?

Me: yes he is, but very slowly

It was funny. I now have a mold of what I look like to save and hold.

It's A Pre-op Day !!

So have my pre-op today at 12:00 , oh what fun! I am excited and nervous and anxious. So much happening this weekend. My parents coming in, BBQ, father's day and then Surgery ! and how do i feel?? Rushed !! I have so much to do, get my stuff in order and get my house in order, pay my bills, and so on.. Mike said since we be in San diego we should go eat Boxty, it is the best Ireland food I have ever had and its healthy, well some what, it is fish !! So maybe we do that, not sure. I am excited though, this is the begining of a whole new life for me.

The Date is Set !!

Hi, Oh my goodness ! This morning I was so anxious to know when I would have a date, so I called the doctor office they told me that I would know by the end of the day. This was at about 12 in the afternoon. At 1:30 I received a call from Scripps Surgery team, they said that they were going over with me and confirming my preop stuff, I said okay, well I don't have a date yet and she said well call the doctors office and find out, cause I don't handle that. So she continued and was telling me to be in on the friday before surgery since I am scheduled for a Monday and I said okay which date is this for? Friday the 10th? ( cause I was looking at the July Calendar) She said, "no friday the 19th" , I said, " But that is a Sunday." She said "no it is not, it is this Friday. " I said you mean June?? and she said yes. So there you have it, after trying to process all of that information, I am scheduled to have surgery on Monday June 22nd at 10:30 am. After my news I tried to reach anyone who would anwser the phone and I could not reach anyone, so I prayed ! I know that was God:)

I am a little stressed now cause I only have a few days to eat my favorites. I had sushi for dinner and Friday I am having Lucilles which I feel is a bad idea, cause I do not want to stop the surgery for 2 llbs I gained. So I am still on protein shakes and trying to stay away from food.
This is it , what I have been waiting for !!

Got a Call from Doctors !

So this morning we lost our electricity and "Surprise" I woke up late! So in the midst of running around and trying to get to work, I got a call from my Dr. office. I braced myself cause I thought I was going to throw up. She said all is approved and wanted to know what my availibilty is on a date. She said they are booking from July 13th and on and asked if I was okay for a Monday. I said sure! So she said she would call me by thursday with a date. Oh goodness I am so nervous ! Last night I was praying before I went to bed , that God only if it is your will , will this happen. and I had peace last night , then this morning, I got that call. I know He is with me and he is guiding every step of this process. I am going to start praying for my surgeon. His name is Dr. Rumsey, I praying that he have a good day and week and that God guide his hands through my procedure. Please pray with me, if you can :)
Thanks
Jess

Monday, Monday !

Today I went to Walmart and bought Mike his own shaker for the protein shake. I also bought another flavor, chocolate. Oh my goodness am I in heaven ! It is so good and great tasting. I need to look at the sugar and make sure it is okay for me to have , but it tastes great ! Today I weighed myself and I am down 2 llbs. So maybe they are working and maybe they aren't. We went for a walk up the hill today with Molly and Charlie, it was nice. I love June Gloom !

Are you sure the shakes are working??

Hi,
Okay so today is a busy, busy day ! Mike had to fix the fence and we had birthday parties to go to and then hanging out with Andrea and Mike. Today was Michael's first day on Protein shake. I added 3 strawberries to his and ice. He liked it. It is actually better tasting then just plain vanilla. We had that for breakfast/lunch and we are going to try to have a light dinner. I am not sure if these shakes are working, we will see.

More Protein Shakes !

So here we are on Friday morning day three of protein shakes. Yesterday went better than the first day, but still very hard to not drive thru Mcdonalds for a breakfast sandwich and a large coffee with caramel. Instead I have replaced that and my lunch with a protein shake. I say it does fill me up, but it takes me a bit to get it down. It is not that it taste bad, it is trying to take it something sweet like that in the morning when your body is calling for Mcdonald's. Yikes !! Well I am going to stick this thru and allow myself to have a cheat day this weekend. Not sure which one yet, but will have one. Yesterday for dinner I made Salmon, shrimp, salad and rice . I had less than a 1/4 of rice and ate the shrimp and the fish and the salad. I can say this much, I was full and did not feel hungry until bed time last night which was 11:30 and I ate at 5. So that was a long time for me.

Mike and I went to the movies last night which was a bit of a challenge since our usual date consists of hotdogs, nachos and two large cokes. Even if we have already eaten dinner, we still eat hotdogs. Well last night we went to the stand and I order large water and he ordered large Coke. I looked at him like "what??" and he said to the girl, never mind we are having water.
We also had peanut M&M's which was a nice treat. I told him he could get the soda and he said no, he will have what I have. So we watched our movie " The Hangover" it was raw, but funny, very funny !
Here is to the weekend !

Protein Shakes !!

Okay so this morning I woke up starving ! Literally like I thought that I was going to throw up with how hungry I was. Little bit of a crazy morning. Woke up late and had to get the kids ready still and feed them. ( godchildren ). As we are running out the door on time, the sprinklers go on, grrr , now we have to go through the poop infested garage cause that is where Kayla stays all day since she is not staying inside when we are not home. Anyways, it is a fight with Kayla to stay in the garage and while trying to get the kids in the car with the sprinklers on . So we made it and on our way, I was so hungry. After dropping off Izzy, I decided to pick up something to eat, but then remember that I need to do protein. Being that we have a busy week, I could have easily put it off till the weekend, but instead I drove myself to walmart and picked up protein shake , a shaker, and string cheese. I picked up Vanilla since they did not have chocolate. It was okay and it filled me up, but it smelled pretty weird. I am going to do my best this week and stick to the shakes for two meals. Then next wednesday I will report if I have lost any weight. Mike and I also talked about us going back to the gym after work. We will meet there and work out then go home for dinner. Sounds like a plan for me. I think tomorrow I am going to add Strawberries to my shake and drink it like that. It might be a little better.
Another busy day today, Krysten is graduating ! Yeah !!

Recovery Tuesday !!

Whoa!! I was so lucky Mike was with me yesterday, I don't know how these Mom's do it in the morning with getting ready more than two kids. First off I woke up late. I got up at 7:15, woke up the kids, jumped in the shower while they dressed and washed up. After I got out I fed them and blow dryed my hair, and then combed hair and was out the door ! Wow it was a little crazy, but we did it. Dropped off Isaiah first then Izzy to kindercare. She was sad cause she wanted to stay with me all day. I told them today we are going to Chuckie Cheese for dinner, fast and easy and then we will go home and rest !! They are great children so it will be a easy day :)

Busy Bee Monday !

Well, I had my surgical consult today with all three Doctors. I had my Psychiatric Evaluation, Internal doctor, and met with the surgeon. What a day ! I am watching my godchildren this week, so this is how our day went:

Mike and I woke up at 6:45- Jumped in the shower first , then woke up the kids . Isaiah took the longest shower ever and Mike had to get him out. As I finished getting Izzy ready and Isaiah ready Mike went to get Donuts for breakfast since we were running out of time cause Isaiah had to be at school at 8:30. Izzy did not have school today so she was going to be hanging with Nino and Nina all day at the doctors.

After dropping off Iya, we headed for San Diego , my first Appt was at 11:00 and that was my psych evaluation. She asked me a bunch of questions about me and my family. Izzy and Mike had to wait outside cause the Dr. worked from her home and there was no waiting area. I was done by 11:15. As I walked out Izzy said " All done with the head Doctor" , I turned to Mike and he was laughing. I guess Izzy asked what I was there for and he told her I had three appointments, one for my head, one for my arm and one for my leg. So counted each appointment we went to.

Next stop Mcdonalds: Since we had some down time we took Izzy to good ol Micky D's and we ate and went back to my appointment at 12:45. Izzy was writing in a journal the whole time and making up stories. She was very entertained. Internist did an EKG and made sure my heart was okay, asked me a million questions and then cleared me for surgery !! Yes two down, one more to go !! I was done early and we still had two hours to go, so we went to the Mall !
We went to Old Navy and got Izzy some sandals and then we went to Borders and Izzy read some books, by this time it was already 2:30.

Last Appointment: Dr. Rumsey is the name of my surgeon. He is a nice man , but he looked very tired or very stoned . He went over the procedure with me and did an examination. He said I was a great canadate for the surgery and he wants me to switch to protein shakes in the morning and lunch. I had a list of questions for him and he answered all of them, which included how soon can I get pregnant? He told me 6 months it is safe, but I was told 12 months is safe, I want to wait at least the 12 so my body adjust. Izzy did soo well in that appointment that she got two suckers. Mike and Izzy were so tired, as soon as we got in the car, they were out. So I had a lot of time to think about today. I was just praying and asking God to continue to guide me through this cause I was so nervous still. I know that this is a life changing experience, but I want to make sure that I am making a right decision with God in it. I know He has opened every door for me so far, from the classes to my job, to everything and I don't want to forget that.

Next stop Picking up Isaiah: We had to pick up Isaiah from his grandma house then we went to eat Taco Bell. We got home at 7:30 and I took Izzy a bath and changed her and headed to practice for Worship Out which went to 11:00.
Boy am I wiped out today !! What a fun filled crazy day ! I am so thankful that my husband was there to support me today. Tomorrow is a new day !

Help I fell off the Wagon and had Pepsi !!

Yes I did :( I could not help it, it is sooo good. Here is what happened: We were at Henry and Liv's and I was fine during dinner, I did not have any rice, just a little mac salad and chicken and cabbage with Ice water. But then after I was so thirsty I had a glass with Pepsi. It was so good. So Tomorrow I am back on the wagon and will make sure I keep my crystal light fully stocked in my purse so I won't be tempted.

Lightening !

Someone got hit by Lightening in Fontana !! That crazy huh ! Yesterday was another day at Henry's, this time I had KFC which was not the best, but I ate really early at 5:30 and did not eat the rest of the night. Although I wanted to :) Chicken was tempting, but I am seriously watching it all now. After Monday, I will need to be on a strict diet, No CARBS, protein shake twice a day and one meal. That not to hard, but I love food, but I love my life more . I want to be around to see my nieces grow up and drive their mom and dad crazy with the boyfriends:) I want to be here to see Henry and Liv have their first baby and then have another painting party to paint the baby's room ! ( Claiming it now ) I want to be here to see Caleb turn into "Benny the Jet" as he calls himself already. So, am I ready??.......um Yes???

Bring Peace to my heart Lord :) I know you are with me.. oh and please give me selfcontrol .
AMEN

Passed up the Pizza !!

Okay anyone who knows me, knows that Pizza is my down fall ! Well I am happy to say that I passed up the Pizza today ! Let me explain : My brother and Sister in law bought a home and are moving in. We ( Mike and I) went over to help clean and paint. Pizza is the easiest and simpliest thing to get when you are moving. So, on my way to their house I was worried cause I was so hungry and I knew I would eat alot of pizza, so instead I stopped at Juan Pollo and got Chicken tacos and a small beans and ate that instead ! And I did not even go near the Pizza !! I was sooo proud of myself ! One step at a time !

Change is Coming !!

Yesterday I went to the Grocery store to do my grocery shopping for the next few weeks. In that list I did not include things I could not have, and I included things I could have like Splenda, decafinated tea, sugar free jam, and of course Fruit. I am excited about what is to come. These are little steps that I am trying to take. Things I have already given up pretty much are Soda, even though I thought I could not live with out it, I have given it up. I have replaced it with Crystal light. I am doing my best to not have any sweets, and trust me that is the hardest for me. All in due time I guess. One step at a time . Mike is going allow for the ride, if my eating habits are changing then so are his. He said after surgery he will eat what I eat, in bigger portions of course. I am thankful he is supportive cause I need that.
