Doc's Visit On Monday~~~ & Now Tues

HI there .. doc's visit went well . He even let me read my reports.. I have more respect for him each time I see him. On the hospital report it read .. released after she kept breakfast down .. Hey ..I had no Breakfast ???????? Dah! So he did not think that was very good of them to not know where I ate or not .... I guess they could not wait to get rid of me .... Ass&*%^&^%$^#



Waiting here for my new recliners to be delivered ..they said mid morning ... OK ..what ever!

I am writing this is parts throughout the day .. Denis is on the roof putting shingles on the new part .... I must say I had company out there on sunday ..it was quite nice and cool ..lot sof room . i really believe that soon that place will be my sanctuary.. I am starting to put niknaks there even though its just all wood ..it will still be nice .



First fill on friday ..I am a little nervous , since its my first time ... but i know it will be ok ..

I have to call the clinic back and ask if I can start my yoga yet .. or if its to soon .. Part of me wants not to exercise , but the other part of me cant wait to improve myself and feel better .

well did well at supper starting to know that Iam full quicker ..and also I feel that my face is changing a sight bit. But hey ~~I will take sight :o)
Its raining acts and dogs out there .. poor Denis got soaked. But he is a stubburn man so I cannot really feel sorry for him ... MEN!!!!

I cant even imagine how much that would cost ifI had to pay labor. But I have an idea that I would not have the 16 by 18 sun porch .

Keep looking you never know when I will post a new picture :o) love you all Annie xxxx

June 24~ 25~ 26~ 27

Well this has been quite the week .. 3 very influenial people die .. Jackson was really a shock!

Well in my own world . I dont get to see the doc till monday . I am all done my antibiotics for the E.Coli

I will never want to go through that again! Denis and Rick worked all day yesterday on the sunroom .. it sure looks great :o)

Getting my first fill on the 3th of july.. Iam excited cause really that is when my journey of weightloss begins. I have been told that it will take a few fills to really get to the spot , where I will have enough restriction , to substain real weight loss.

The weather has been very humid here . That is when I take cover in the A/C Me and My babies lol
I guess its the heat that is making me so lazy ! Wow I cannot seeem to do anything . All I want to do is sleep . The humidity just makes that worse .

housework and laundry just keeps piling up . I know it needs to be done but , somehow I talk myself out of things and lay down till the feeling of work goes away ...but I know this is wrong . Heather told me to buy some B12 i think I will try that . Nothing else seems to work.

well hoping to get energy to do more stuff and give some good news on my success as i know there will be . thanks for putting up with me with not making the blog ... I really do love you guys .. and look for the kick in the ass that i need to keep going!!! untill then love yah Annie xxx

June 23th & Yes Raining !

In contrast to last year ,this year is not going well with sunshine ...... Now its time for my confession.. KFC for supper ... It was greesy yummy and and made me full of guilt.. God I cant wait to start my fills so that it gets easier .

So enough of that .. Had a good sleep and felt not bad today . Tomorrow i will see the doc .. try and figure out what had caused the dizzy spells ...I really dont think it was the E.coli but you never know . I still say that my inner ear is not right ..

Soon i will be able to exercise ..I mean beside walking .. I want to get into the yoga first ..that will be good for me . I really think I will get lots out of it .

I have not heard from my friends latley ..where are you all?????? I miss your comments!

Anyway ..lots of sickness going around , I am just trying to stay healthy ... will have more to write when i get back from the doctors ... love to all annie xxx

Head Is Messed Up ~What Day Ia It?????

Well how do I start this Blog? On the last blog, I told you about the dizzy spells i was getting . They continued when I went to Debbie's For supper .
I did not want to let her down as i knew she had spent the day cooking for us.

Anyway I was quite dissy and they were concerned thinking that it may be my blood sugar level... Anyway the dissyness came in waves... but seemed to go.

On sunday it became worse to the point where I needed help getting to the washroom.

I then knew that this was not the pills doing this . It had to be something more serious.

I went to the hospital .They took all vitals + sugar readings b/p was high ... no temp.
So finally Doc cam in the room and asked lots of questions... he ordered bloodwork... while he left they did an ekg and the one of the nurses came in and asked if I would mind being in the waiting area ,till the blood work came back ,or if i wanted to go home and wait for a call for the results that would be find also .
I told her find that i would wait for the results and as I was walking down the hall , The Doc asked me what i was doing out of the room..and I told him he did not look to happy . But he said see the room over there ,well there are some comphy chairs you can wait there ..in the middle of all this ~~I take another dizzy spell and almost fell but the doctor caught me ..I then started to projectial vomiting and thought I was going to die!!!! then I realized I was also going in my pants at the same time with no control over either ..Can anyone please find me a hole to crawl into whaaaaaaa...

Ok so now he orders me in the other room hooks me up to moniter my heart. and orders and IV with saline and electrolits and also gravol ..then the came me a atvin under the tonque to settle my waves of dizzy when i move.

They checked my ears to see if there was an invection
and he did not see any ..however he told me that something like fluid could be behind the ear and it would not be detected.
Once the IV was in place he told me that he was going to keep me over night . At that point since i thought I was dying ..I did not care what they did.

The IV and the ativan helped and my vomiting became better and also the diareah . They brought me some jello ..yuk! and tea that taste like dish water yuk again! They also gave me apple juice ..which for me is vomit in a bottle .. was not a great night ..

did not sleep well as they took my pressure and sugars at odd times.. about 10 in the morn they released me.
I had to get the meds soon as possible ativan and also gravol....

Came home and I started to vomit and at the other end as well .. I was so dizzy that I could not walk. I felt so helpless with mom and Denis helping me ..Iam not used to that .

So today i feel better and called the place where i had my surgery to let them know what happened as I was scared some thing might happen with the band ..

At the hospital they told me that I may have come down norwalk virus.... anyway today
I get a call from the hospital telling me that one of the test shows Pure Ecoli in the urine and that Denis has to pick up antibiotics ASAP that it was like septis in the urin ......
So you know folks Iam not to well .. But getting on the mend I hope .. Iam on all the stuff they gave me plus..you know thw million that Iam alreay on ..whaaaaaaaa

Well the clinic says that the band is ok ..that is a plus!!!! So I will let everyone know what happens next .. I tryed to send everyone a message on my blacbberry that i was in the hospital ..but I dont know who received it as I was in lala land .. love to all.. please commet thanks ... Annie xxx ps. My Dear Debbie thanks for your visit and the flowers your sweat! xxx

Went to get my mp3 player today . Now I get to hear music when I walk and also when I start my exercises. Its a great gaget.. and Someone young filled it with really hip songs .. Never heard rap on it yet ..good god! I will gag! other then that it seems to be very good.

Debbie was supposed to come over today .. she fell down her stairs carrying clothes to be done. I think she will be really sore tomorrow :o( Hugs for you deb~~~

well more has been done on the sundeck looking up soon i will post pics ..

Now as for the food .. Gained 3 pound yes!!! 3 POUNDS!!! I want to vomit . And its another 2 weeks before i get a fill .. Anyone out there with arsnic whaaaaaaa

it would not be so bad if i could be more actic ..but another 2 weeks before I can exercise and do any kind of workout that burns extra real calories.

June 10~11~12

OK so I have been slaking off ... I am learning very fast that I have no restriction at the moment . Today like the last 3 , have been trying to hide from the food for another 2 weeks before my fill .

I have been a little worried about putting some weight back on. But I also know in my head that this is healing time . Its not about my wish to lose a ton of weight ... But old habits are very hard to break & Iam an old dog that struggles to learn new tricks !

Rain, Rain and more Rain I am sick of it already .. sun room is very wet and Annie is not a happy camper &(*&*&^*$%^#%@

Going to Debbie's for supper tomorrow. Looking forward to that . She knows my limits and has lots of choices for me :o) and she is a great cook !

received a care package From Miss E. thank you thank you loved all of it !!!! So sweet and a pleasant surprise!

Heather I'am also scared to get on scale .. so guess what ??? I wont ha ha it will only make me sad about myself .. So I want to stay positive , & keep a good attitude ...

Anyway keep up with my blog you guys and I love comments .. take care .. you know I do .... Annie xxxx

To Much To Eat

OK , so I am not perfect! Over did it today . Seems that I was able to slip more food right through that little sucker before the brain told it I over ate .. mind you I payed for it after . So now I cannot eat anymore except the 15 calorie chicken soup broth that I usually have late at night .

Found my fill person . Her name is Laurie lives not to far from here :o) Another nice day , but its going to rain they say starting tomorrow night for 4 days .. My Lord how depressing... Nancy I hope your rash is better ... been thinking of you all day .

Cant wait till I get my fill Laurie says that it cannot be done before 6 to 8 weeks .. makes better sense then 4 weeks that I have been reading about . I know that my insides will not be healed yet .

All in all I have been doing wonderful! and I am very proud of myself :o) I am not drinking water with my meals and I wait for at least 30 Min's before I do as per Doc's orders .. that is a big thing for me as i constantly drink with meals .

Sundeck is really coming along ...Denis and Rick steady at it ..looks Great ! I am hoping that it will be all done for Canada Day ~~~

Well Miss E. bought the child's liquid Tylenol comes out like syrup gross!!!! I really hope the adult is much better then that . Heather We all make mistakes , And the lessons that we learn from them are very important.. Tomorrow will be better for us both! :o) Happy Anniversary Dawna & Brad love you guys xxx and love to all ~~~ keep in touch & love the comments ...until tomorrow Annie xxx

June 7 & 8 th

Today was another sunny day and my spirits were high! I think its getting better on the eating part, as now my options are more plentiful :o)

Still enjoying soup ,and its very easy on the tummy. I have had other things like cottage cheese , however it made me crave more then I am able to eat. So I have decided not to buy any more.

Mom asked me today when I was going to be able to eat normal.. I don't think she really gets that fact that my normal will never be the same again. Poor Mom always wants to stuff me with food.
I don't blame her at all . I have been a very willing piggy at her table and loved it.. That is what makes her most happy in life .. feeding people... she is such a sweetie :o)

Looking around to decide who will be my fill nurse... there is one around here and also in Halifax . I will have to weigh my options. ( fills are saline solution that goes in the band to make it tighter)

Anyone out there in band_ land that has suggestion please let me know .... how is it going Heather? Hope all is well little shoulder pain today ,but in general I'am in good shape .. my largest scar looks terrible! i will be seeing Doc on Friday.. to bad he cannot do the fills.

Well tomorrow another sunny day and more work down on the Sundeck .. I will be adding photo's soon ..Take care all~~ cause I care love to all ~~~Annie xxx

Still a little struggle on what to eat .. and tummy is always sore when I do .. but only after about 10 Min's ... so hard to know what the limit is.. did some searching only to find out that indeed i was over doing it ..now I am really pissed at myself :o(

Sick of soup... Sick Of Denis .. did I tell you I hate men!!!!!! ( are you with me Debbie ha ha) He really burned my ass today can you tell???????

Washed my floors did some laundry ~~~ watched movies .... Tired now and waiting for the liquid Tylenol to come in the mail. Its so hard to take pills when you have to take small bites of it .... Let me tell you the taste is unbelievable yuk yuk double yuk!

I need to buy some broccoli .. last week I bought some for 88 cents a head .. this week is
2.69 &*^*^&^%%$ I refuse to be taken .. so I will do without ..highway robbery!!!

TERRIBLE DAY :O)

Well my first day of not being able to cope . I really think yesterday I did to much.
Really sore in the belly area. And a little red on the biggest incision. I will keep my eye on that in case of infection.

It was a very nice sunny day ,and Denis and Rick were outside working on the sun room. It will be a very special place for me, as I have never had one before.

Found out today that I can get a fill in 4 weeks . But to be honest with myself ,I don't believe I will be ready . That is way to soon to have the band tightened .

Went over to Mom's this evening to get a can of soup.. She does not buy my brand ..anyway .. one mouthful and I knew it had half a gallon of salt. Good Lord!!! that should be band!
So off I will be going to the store to stock up.

My gas pains are slowly moving . Thank God . I think that was the worse part of this operation. So much Gas! Well this blog will be very boring tonight as I need to lay down and rest ....
Tomorrow will be a better day filled with better thoughts and less complaints ...
until then keep me in your thoughts ~~~as I will with you ..love Annie xxx

Boost Of Energy!

Today I got some much needed housework done :o) On the down side of that , Iam paying for it with a sore tummy. But It was a blessing to get stuff done and now I can relax a bit.

Thinking of you E. and your sore mouth... (((((hugs))))) I think I would (no I know I would) take surgery over the dentist anyday!!! yuks!!!

Denis is outside building my Sunroom. He is doing a great job :o) He showed me a small amount of lumber and some plywood .. He said that is what 1,000 looks like ~~~Holy smokes Batman! that is just the floor yikes! I think I will charge an entrance fee hahaha

I am not sure if its my tummy that is aching or what I ate . Now that I have been Banded , i find it really hard to tell one think from the other . Except for the Gas and the big bloated belly . Be careful when it lets go , I maybe flying over your area soon!!

I am craving cottage cheese ~~can you believe that ? The lack of eating has made me want and crave things that normally I could care less about . I really would like to start eating healthy now . Greens and protein and try and stay away from sugar & gluten. :o)

Soon as I recover enough to exercise , I have some great yoga and dance DVD's And then I will work up to light weights.. but that will take time for the insides to heal.

Well Heather hope today is better then yesterday for you sending you lots of ((((hugs)))) and support xxx Tke care all and keep on keeping on!! love to all Annie xxx

Surgery Went Well ~~ 5 Days Post- Op

May 28th Debbie and I arrived at the clinic at about 6: 15 only to find no one there . In all fairness, I was told to be there at 6:30 not 6:15 ... So standing out in the rain in my pj's and slippers made for a pathtic site :o)

The Clinic was much smaller then I had imagined. And on first site I was a little concerned to say the least. And also wondered ,what the hell I was doing there :o( But The RN who came for me changed everything I felt in a heartbeat.

She took me upstairs, got me ready. Took b/pressure and also took my b/sugar readings. She spoke to me about the whole operation and she was so kind and gentle. Then the man that puts you to sleep( I wont even try to spell that haha) He sat down and asked a bunch of questions .. knew what he was talking about and also very kind :o)

I told him that I was not afraid of the sugery , but that I was afraid of the needle they put in the hand before the sugery. He did not laugh at me, and told me not to worry as he would freeze my hand first .. I was so happy .. Then when it came time for him to freeze my hand it hurt like hell for the freezing neeedle... whats that all about ??????? whaaaaaaaaaaa

They then put plastic boots on my legs and they began to massage my legs ..really felt wonderful!!! they said it was to make sure I did not develope blood clots oooooooooooh wow that feels soooooooooo good .... ~~` then I awoke!

First thing I remembered was my nurse telling me look whos here to see you . Its heather !... I remember telling her how happy I was to see her . And I remember hugging her.. But now I find out that after the surgery I became some sort of slut and removed my clothes to show her my scars haha I am telling you serious that I have no idea what I did
To make matters worse ..I cannot remember leaving the clinic or Debbie taking me back to the hotel..she says we got into a van .. it could have been a plane ! I was none the wiser... lol

Good thing my friend was with me as I dont remember getting into a bed ... Scary Crap that is!!!
The waterside Inn was beautiful! 2 bedroom suite with everything we needed ... Debbie was a wonderful caregiver ..Thanks Debbie ((((( Hugs)))))

We were there until Sunday . Got to see her family and a couple of friends of my family ... Had a wonder flight Home and landed on a beautiful sunny day .

So now my Journey really begins! lots of gas pain and shoulder pain ... seems nothing takes that away . Even walking does not seem to help. :o(

Found out that Canada does not sell Extra Strenght Liquid Adult Tylenol .... So after Speaking with Elizabeth (thanks E.) I ordered some on this great site ... So now at least it will be better taking pain meds ....

I am getting sick of liquids as in soups ..but today I tryed pured rice and cabbge 2 teaspoons ...so far so good and Iam full :o) mabe it will make me go to the washroom.

well glad to be home glad that God has seen fit to see me through this :o) And Iam grateful!!!! Thanks for looking in on me .. until tomorrow .. love Annie xxx
