One Month Post-op

I am down 40 lbs (that's with 16 lbs lost pre-op). I feel like a whole new person already. I have more energy, I feel like I've lost 100 lbs already lol! My surgery went VERY well and I would do it again in a heart beat. I had no real pain just discomfort the first week after that I didn't even need pain meds.   I'm loving the new me, and excited to see the rest of me. I didn't have any weight goals from the beginning just what ever I lose is what I lose. I only weigh myself every 2 week

Pre-op week one

I've just completed week one of my 14 day pre-op diet.   I did really well I WAS never hungry, which I was suprised about. I thought I was going to want to eat any and everything and couldn't do it but it was a breeze.   My trip to Chicago this weekend was great I shopped all day on my son of course.   I'm going to take sometime this week to reflect on alot of things mainly saying goodbye to my outside appearance and starting to welcome my new self. I'm going to post my comparision pre-o

My surguery is scheduled for 4-19-10 and I can't wait:thumbup:. The only thing I'm dealing with now is...

Let's see......

I went to see my surgeon Monday 3/1. He was great, he answered all my questions. I'm just playing the waiting game now waiting on insurance approval. I started exercising on my lunch break basically using the treadmill or walking for 15 mins. I have started doing the whole last meal thing for lunch I say this is the last time I will have onion rings or any other fried food. Oh well I'm trying to post some pics but its not working any ideas will help.

My Journey

I am writing this with a heavy heart and just need to get somethings off my mind. I meet with my surgeon on Monday 3/1/10, the day after my 29th birthday. I am in no way concerned about the surgery, at this point it's a must in order to be around for my son. What's been on my mind the most is seeing myself THIN, I have been overweight my entire life. No I have not been the 337 lbs I am now but even at 12 I was 180 lbs. Nobody I know really understands being overweight, for them weight is somethi
