I am not eating because it hurts to poop. I went to the doctor (really the PA). He said it was a hemeroid but after looking at it he said it was an external polyp. He lanced it anyway even though he said it wouldn't help. Ya like I want a needle and knife put there when it won't help! Helloooooo. So this was on Friday and he said that they were going to refer me to a surgeon. Well today I called my surgeon (who did my colonoscopy and hemeroid surgery) because I am not waiting in pain anymore. OMG. I am not sleeping or eating much. I can't think about anything but the pain. When I see someone all I want to say is that my butt hurts! This isn't a way to live. I hope I don't have cancer. Not sure I can cope with that. So Thursday at 8:45 I am seeing the surgeon. I hope he can do something that will get rid of the pain right away. I can't stand this much longer.

Don't read this if you don't like TMI. Cuz this is definately TMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am soooo damn frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My asshole hurts sooooooooooooooooo bad that I think I am going to DIE. I have a hemeroid! A terribly painful hemeroid!. This is my blog where I can write anything so I am writing about my awful awful pain.
I need to find a new Doctor. I think I may have it narrowed down. It is funny listening to everyones opinions because lots of peole love and hate the same docs. I also have my hip/leg problem that is better but not gone and I have to get a colonoscopy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am kind of down today. I hate being in this much pain. I am using ointment. I have tried pushing him back where he belongs. I am ready to cut him out. Not realy. I have already had one hemeroid surgery. UG.
Ok I was doing really well with my roids until this surgery. Fiber doesn' absorb as well and I drink all of that protien so I have been pushing a lot more. I need to go to a doctor. I don't always have such a hard time just when I am between doctors.
OK. I feel better.
Thanks!

Wow! I am down over 90lbs from when I first met with the surgeon for the first time. Today I put on a sweater that my Aunt Pat knitted for me when I was in college! How exciting. Eating is going ok. I could be doing better. I am doing best at not eating too much but I am not doing as well at eating the right things. I try but still get cravings.
PAIN! I have been in pain for so long and I am really affraid to look into it because I don't want a new hip. So I talk a lot about it because I hurt all the time. Well my friend Lori said the word gait (not sur how to spell it) to me one day. Meaning how I walk. That made me think about how I walk a lot sooooo. I mentioned my gait to Nikki one day and she said to walk with my hips. Like heel to toe. Like a runway model. Well you just wouldn't believe what a difference that made. I am not only practising my model walk I am also practising my Hula and belly dancing hip moves. I wasn't using my hip. The pain has gone away by about 50%. The level is the same when it is there but I can't get it to go away quite a bit. That is AMAZING!
Gotta get moving for the day. Talk to ya soon.

Congrats to Kyle and Melissa had Caleb Evan Hancock today at 7:14 AM. He weighs 7 lbs. 12 oz and is 20.5 inches.
Now back to me. My friend Nikki has helped me a lot when it comes to making protien drinks easier to make and eat. She also gives me good ideas about things to make and eat. Today I make an opened faced sandwich that I want to share. Get the Costco Bruchetta . It's 60 calories for 1/2 cup. Buy sandwhich thins and foster farms cooked chicken breast strips. All at Costco. I toasted the sandwhich thins and put 3 pieces of chicken across each slice and topped each slice with 1/4 cup of bruchetta. It was delicious. I can only eat one at time so it was 130 calories.

Happy New Year!!! I bought and put on a pair of size 14 jeans. They are not wearable yet but I could zip them up. I made it through Christmas. I exercised a lot and lost a little weight. I am drinking my protien at about 75%. I need to do a better job at taking vitamins. I need to get out more. I am doing more at home but I don't think my kids would agree.
I still have ADD and it's not going away. Behavioral changes are essential. Cravings are still here. I have modified them. Sweets have never been a biggy. Salty fatty things are my weekness and right now I still eat them but I eat less. Eventually my stomach will get bigger and I will be able to eat more and that is bad so I have to get them out of my system. I had my last drink Jan. 1. It was not working well for me. I was getting trashed. If this doesn't work for me I will probably do some type of rehab. It's not really that hard to not drink. The hard thing is that when I drink I can't control it.
Thngs are good. I feel good. I need a job.
Happy New Year!

I'm four months post op and I can move. I feel so much better. I can walk without getting out of breath. I can sit up in my bed without a struggle. I can not touch the ground yet but that is another problem.
I am in a regular extra large size in shirts and almost a 16 in pants. I am not exercising enough right now and I have all of the excuses in the world. I think the biggest thing I would say to someone who is thinking about this surgery is that it helps you get the weight off but it doesn't change who you are. You still have to do all of that on your own and you have to do it or you will put the weight back on. I still get totally overwhelmed by my house and it's still really hard for me to clean. I have more energy but I HATE cleaning. I always have. I am very ADD and I get overwhelmed easy.
I am doing some weight lifting at home daily and at the gym when I go. I have the same right side hip pain that I have had for 3 years. I am not sure if it will go away or not. I am stretching regularly.
I am doing pretty well with eating. I do my protien and eat small meals. My big problem is the booze. I have NO self control so I just really can't drink but still I do. I know this slows my weightloss down, it makes my kids mad and yet I still do it. I may have to go somewhere but UG I really don't want to.
So that is where I am. I feel better but I am still whiney! I will post pics soon.

Yesterday I bought my first xl shirt. No plus sizes for me! I am doing well for the most part. My tailbone still bothers me and my normal right side hip/groin pain that I have had for about 3 years is still there but I can do more before it hurts. I just hope I dont' need a new hip. I need a new doctor.
Eating: I am doing pretty well right now with my protien drinks. I bought some chai tea from Fred Meyer bulk spices and I mix my morning protien with that. For my afternoon protien I found sugar free pumpkin syrup and ginger bread syrup. They are both good but I prefer the gingerbread. Since I can't eat string cheese I have been eating nuts. I am not convinced that nuts are better than dairy. I did find small packs of spicey planters peanuts at Costco business. I can usually get 3 snacks out of a pack (2 for sure). I don't eat with the family much. I dont' eat what they eat is what I mean.
Exercise: I am going to the YMCA. Eli is with me during the week right now while his mom is doing a 10 week training program so I put in in child find. He goes to swimming lessons and tumbling class.
Tomorrow is my 3 monthaversary since surgery so I should post pics.
