Uhoh, 2 entries in 2 days. Scarey huh?
Relax, I'm actually feeling quite normal (even though its taken 6 darvacet and 2 800 mg ibuprophen, but hey, I'm not depressed today cause I can handle the pain, is a good thing it is). I know I'm having more bad days then good now but I'm trying to find ways to help that when I can think properly. I do try to pull myself through this even though it may seem lately that I'm simply a total wimpering idiot. But hey, I am at times. I'm stressed out. I'm hurting like hell most of the time physically. I'm quite frustrated. Shit happens. I'll get over it and eventually be quite embarassed at my low times even though I know deep down it happens.
So I bet my regulars are thinking something along the lines of "Ok Katt, whats up your sleeve that your in a good mood after sooo much bad mood times?". Well let me tell ya the answer to that.
Its my arms.
But then again, I'm wearing sleeveless shirt right now so I'm thinking that maybe that means I don't have anything up my sleeves. *Smirks* Gotta likes me when I'm in a good mood huh :).
So to be semi serious, I must admit its quite frustrating to be having such up and down days but hey, I'll take the good days any time!
I'm in a yappy mood, so fair warning this more then likely is going to be long.
But with good reason IMO.
I had the thought today that maybe I should explain some things and also let ya'll know what I hope to do to help make this journal more interesting and informative (no I'm not gonna be a book worm and go all technicallish on ya, I don't have the patience to research anything so boring, I save my researcherizing for my pagany stuffs.)
So anywhoo, time to be mostly serious.
I must yet again remind ya'll that anything I say in here comes strictly from my purrspective. I am in no way, shape or form a doctory type nor do I intend to be. I simply write my experiences and what I've learned and what I think. Consult professional types for the technical stuffs. Consult me for my opinions, thoughts and feelings etc only. Well, the occasional giggle or few can be gotten too (least I hopes so). This journal is simply about sharing what I'm going through to help others that are either going to go through, thinking about having the gastric bypass or those people that are helping the intended surgeried people. I'm being totally open, honest and upfront in everything I write. Every doctor that does this procedure, or those similar (part of why I'm writting today), has their own set standards etc. DO NOT expect to go through the exact same steps as I am if your having the bypass.
I'm not sure exactly why I felt I had to put that in today but I go with my gut feeling (pun actually only slightly inteneded there) and its almost always correct.
So anywhoo on to the other reason I am writting today.
I got a phone call last night and was told my step sibling's mother had gotten the green light for her surgery procedure. She is having the Lapband done. Quite different procedure then what I am going to have but the results are the same. I've actually thought about having the lapband done because its similier and less risky. Who knows, I may just change my mind and go with that instead of the "actual" bypass.
Ya know, as I write that, it dawns on me that I don't think I've actually ever explained the surgical procedure. Hmm, I'm thinking I need to do that DAAAHHHH on me lmao.
Anywhoo, I'm going to talk to my step family's mom (we were actually good friends at one point, much to EVERYONE's surprise lol but we've not talked in a long time). I'm going to ask her if she would like to do input or let me put some of her experiences with having the lapband surgery in here. I thought it would actually be a good way to show different ways of loosing the weight with the different surgeries.
I'm not sure exactly how I'll go about doing that, but I'll figure that out after I've talked to her.
Pretty good idea, huh :). See, I'm not just a smartass, I'm a smarty pants! But then again I could just be a smartass in smartypants cause that's where ass's go ya know.
I think that since this entry is another long one, I'll save the other couple things for the next few days.
Note to self: Write about actual surgeries, the water thing and and and and well phooey, I forgot what the other things were. Blah! I hate brain farts. They may take the pressure off but main its a pain when it blows needed thoughts out my ears too. Yeesh.
More to be written later.
