Angry "bird"!

I had my VSG on Nov. 23rd and now 4 days later, I realize that the program I am in is 100% worthless! I had my surgery in Tulsa Oklahoma..not Mexico..or a foreign country. I was promised the moon and back during the pre-surgery phases....but the truth is, I got NOTHING! The doctor at the bariatric clinic never showed up as he promised...he didn't even send anyone from his staff! I was there 3 full days! Come on...what is the deal with that?   He was "revising" the eating plan...and promised to

Surgery was cancelled for tomorrow and rescheduled....

Oh mercy...I can not begin to tell you the shock I was in when the surgeon called me this morning (minutes before my pre-op) and said he had to cancel my surgery! I thought..."WHAT? I have done 3 weeks of liquids for NOTHING!!!" I even asked if he was kidding. He said no...he had a death in his family and had to go out of state the day after my initial scheduled surgery and his two other partners are at a conference out of state...so there would be no one to take proper care of me. I appreciate

298.2..That is what the scale says! YEA ME!!!

I am out of the 300's....no more 350+ either! I feel TWO-riffic!!!   I have been battling a sinus cold...and my feet hurt soooo bad from the plantar Faciitis that I can barely move...but I keep walking the 1 1/2 miles per day and all the other stuff that I do on a daily bases. Timing was great on the sinus cold though...I would rather have it now..than to have it while I am recovering from surgery.   Let's see what else am I doing...   I have been on the liquid pre-op diet for 13 days n

H E L P!!! Why am I not losing weight?

I am pre-op on the liquid diet...walking 1 1/2-2 miles a day! Why is the scale going the other way! I have gained 1 pound! That makes no sense to me!   I am averaging...   800-1000 calories per day 90-115 proteins per day 70-80 carbs per day 20-25 fats per day 80-100 oz of water/liquids per day   (No sugar, no soda, no real food..nothing but protein shakes with 1% milk, gogurts, sugar-free pudding and soup broth) PLUS...I exercise!   What am I doing wrong? The scale has varied...

The scale HATES me!

Grrrrrrrrrrr.... not a good morning! I was so excited to see anything under 300lbs today! But...NOOOO! I get up early and step on the scale (after 5 days of liquids) and see that I gained 1/2 pound! WHAT?! and HOW?! I am exercising...sticking to s strict liquid diet..so what the heck?   I know it is just a 1/2 pound...but let me tell ya..to me it was like 10 lbs! I want to see that scale sing any number under 300! "299.11"...I don't care...I just want it!   Oh well...had to get that off my

VENTING!

I heard a story yesterday about a woman (family friend) who had a RNY done and went home two days later and died! Tragic, right? When I asked what went wrong, they said the doctors say it is because she drank a diet coke when she got home! Diet Coke?!? Are you serious? Who on earth would do that? We are warned over and over about what NOT to do! There IS a reason they tell us this stuff!!   These people give the rest of us (WLS participatants) a bad rep!   I have heard all kinds of terribl

Waiting for the insurance approval.... hummmmm!

My bariatric program has been shaky to say the least when it come to organization...but the doctor and other people involved have been GREAT! We are now down to the final approval from UHC. I am turning in the 5 yrs of weight history today...and then we sit and wait! (And, PRAY)   I am confident everything will go well...I have maintained all the rules and regulations...and have jumped through all the "golden" hoops! So ...no worries right?!? Humm....I wish!   I am so ready to move into the

Pretty faces..

Blogging? Humm..not sure I get the whole thing but here I go!   STATS: Married 5'8 Beginning weight: 351.8 (July 2011) Current weight: 307.8 (Oct. 5, 2011)   I am a southern lady living in central Oklahoma..married to a amazing man..raising our 8 children. That is the basics! I am having the VGS on Nov. 2, 2011 and truly feel this is the best decision for me! I just turned 44 yrs old...and have thought about gastric bypass for over 10 yrs now. Timing is everything..and this time is MY
