4-8-08 Is my day!

Tomorrow is my day...I can't wait. I've gone thru the I can do this without surgery talk with myself and know that without the surgery I would just lose weight, like in the past and regain it again. I'm so happy to know that I will always have this little tool with me to help me keep my weight in line. It has been a rough 6 months but I have finally arrived. And arrived 40 pounds lighter,I might add!. I'm am so happy that I have followed everything I've been told to do. Now for an uneventful sur

Weigh-in #5

Today was weigh-in #5. Lost another 3 pounds. Much slower weight loss since I'm not walking on a daily basis. I can't wait for the weather to clear up just a bit. The Dr's office will mail my packet after my next weigh-in on March 3rd. I really thought that 6 months would take sooo long, but the time has flown by quickly. Total pre-op loss is now 22 pounds. Yeah!!! Doing the happy dance!!!!!!! :rolleyes2::Dancing_biggrin: These smilies actually look like they are exercising!

4 months supervised diet done, 2 to go...

I weighed in this morning...down 2.5 pounds for the month. I guess that's not bad considering the holidays were happening. I'm a bit disappointed, but at least I didn't gain. YEAH! So now I'm done 19 pounds. Oh well, I still have 2 months to lose another pound. I was told I needed to lose 20 pounds during this 6 month period. Any pound gone is one less I have to carry around with me.:whoo:

Update

I haven't updated this for awhile. I've lost another 8 pounds! Total 16.5 pounds lost! YEAH!!!! :whoo:I thought I'd never get thru 6 monthly visits with the doctor. Three visits down and three to go. The fourth one is 01/03/2008. The Dr's office has all my paperwork in their hands. . My supervised diet is half done! I don't feel that I have been as successful this month as I was the last two. Oh well, it is what it is. I'm trying very hard to stay within 1200 calories, but some days it is harder

Update!

Had my appointment with the pulmonologist and the cardiologist yesterday! Yeah, they are done.:clap2: The pulmonologist said he will send a letter to the Dr. giving his approval! Yeah! :clap2:The cardiologist said I have to come back one month before surgery for a prescription of beta blockers. He wants me to take them for a month before and after surgery. Yeah! Now I just have to work on the six month supervised diet. Next appointment is 11-01-07. :whoo:Trying to keep on track..Walking almost

Getting things done!

Well, I've gone to a nutrition class and got lots of the same old information on diets that I've tried plenty of times before. I'm doing these diets again because if I don't I won't be able to get approved. Had my psych evaluation last night. I think it went well. I've been walking almost daily with my neighbor. We take a diffent route so that the scenery is different. Will probably join a gym by the end of the month, yeah, I get to spend more money that I don't have...:car:..just to improve m

Initial Consult

Well today I had my first visit with Dr. Joyce. I will go to a class on 10-02-07. I will make appointments for my visits with the pulmonologist, cardiologist and the psychologist. I will wait for insurance approval and hope that all goes well. I know it may be at least six months before I can become a "bander" I can't wait!!!!! My new life as a healthy person is only just beginning! Sounds like a song!:whoo:

I'm on my way!

I'm on my way to a new life! :clap2: I took my first step on 8/22/07 and went to a seminar. My first Dr's visit is on 9/28/07. I can't wait to complete my journey. I'm excited to find this web site and to learn more about what I will be doing in the future. I will learn about the trials and tribulations that you are going thru and I will learn from them. I've struggled forever with a weight problem. The fat kid no one wanted on the team in a gym class. The fat teen who didn't date. The mother wh
