10 Days Out

Ok. so the last few days have been a roller coaster and kind of filled with surprises. My best friend did stay until Monday morning. She really was heaven sent. Her presence and help meant the world to me. My other friend Jen took me to the doctor Monday for my 1 week check up. Okay... how about this I lost what? 1 DAMN POUND! LOL I was like that can't be right all I've been doing is sipping on some doggone liquids. The nurse says that's normal and dont' worry it will begin falling off. I'm like when?

Wouldn't it be my damn luck if I'm the very 1st ever RNY patient to only lose 10 pounds in a year! Ooooh, I will be pissed the hell off. This blubber better start melting after all this pain I've been through. Which brings me to the next surprise. Tuesday, the day after my visit to the doc, the main incision balled up a fist and knocked the hell out of me! Then it took a bat and beat my butt! Finally, it threw a match and lit me on fire! I mean I was hurting so bad I was crying with sound! And I was alone! So the sound effects weren't for the benefit of gaining more pity or putting a little extra into the performance! I was boo hooing all by my lonesome! Child, I had to call my girl T back and get my butt to the ER. They gave me an IV, pain meds, and did a CT scan. They said all looked fine. Whatever they gave me helped a lot! It wasn't a wasted trip though. I was happy that I got the CT just to confirm that all was well on the inside. Well, not ALL!It's been 10 days since I had a BM! Shoot, when I do that will probably be about 10 pounds rights there! LOL Gross I know. I've taken 3 laxatives and still nothing. Thank goodness I'm not hurting or feeling sick in that regards. I told my friends in the know that the fat girl is not going down without a fight! She is in shock and wondering what the heck I've done with our body. So she's like, oh so you wanna get rid of me hunh? I'm gonna show you! I'll hold on to every pound I can AND lock up your bowels! That will teach you not to play with me! LOL But you know what... Fat Girl gotta go! She's holdinon but she's too fat to fight for long! The skinny girl is going to win in the end! LOL I crack me up!

I wanted to go back to work and class at the beginning of this week, but that was just not an option. I'm feeling a lot better today and have every plan on going in Monday. I can't lie, the pain, constipation, and virtually no weight loss yet have been real shockers and downers. Still, the hardest part is lying to my mom. We talk everyday and she is none the wiser. I've been lying about what I did at work and how classes are going. I've told her more lies this past week then I have cumulative over my entire life! I keep saying its for her own good. My dad is just getting settled in the rehab center for his knee and mom is about to go back to work (she's a teacher). The last thing she needs to do is worry about me and try to fly here to check on me. Her hands are full. Besides, she would have been a mess if she saw me in the amount of pain I went through Tuesday! All I can say is that I love her and I know I've made the right decision in not telling her, but it doesn't make it any easier to not be honest with her.

Well, that's all for now...
