Thanks, I hope the wait isn't going to be long. I am seriously waiting on the edge of my seat! I am so ready for this. How often during the day did you have to drink the protien drinks? Was it strickly protien drinks and nothing else for two weeks? I'm going to get me some and start the ASAP. I got on the scale today and the scal read 236! I really want to try to get out of the 200 range before my engagement party in September! How was your first day back?

Thanks, this is excatly what I intend on doing!

The nurse from the WLC returned my call on yesterday to discuss my labs and she said that my results were fine. My iron was on point so now I guess the ball falls is in my insurance company's court. I sure hope this doesn't turn into a long drawn out process. My nerves are getting the best of me. I pray that I don't change my mind again:(

Tomorrow is my first day back to work. I wanted to be less than 200 lbs but I am only at 220 lbs. I haven't had any fills yet and from the way these pills are getting stuck I may just opt out. At this point, if I was able to eat any less, my body would shribble up?. I'm not hungry, but my food intake is ridiculously small! If I get a fill, I probably won't be able to eat anything! Anyway, I?m feeling a little nauseous and I don't know what to do about it. I'm going to just go down to in basement and walk on the treadmill and hopefully these pills will find its way. Take care Guys.

Upper GI was done yesterday. I just want to put that out of my head for right now.... That was something strange to go through. Anyway, I guess it's the waiting game from here on out. I hope my insurance company signs off on this. I am so ready to get back to living/enjoying life. Take care guys!

Well Guys, Looks like I made it through the CLEAR liquid phase with flying colors. I only got hungry a few times but I was very focused. I have about 30 minutes left so I'm probably going to have one last sugar free popsicle and maybe some boullion(?) soup. Tomorrow is the day! I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am! I am so glad that my appointment is early! Well, wish me luck and I will try to get back in contact with you guys before the weekend is over. Take care!

What is permalink?

Wow Gwendolyn! You took an entire month off from work? Did you need a month for recovery? I hope I will be out for only a week. I would love to be out longer, but with the wedding and everything, i'm going to need to account for honeymoon, parties, and other stuff associated with getting married. I was just looking at my labs on line. This stuff is like a foriegn language to me. lol! I'm going to call them tomorrow and ask if everything was ok with my blood work. I know my iron will probably be an issue(always has) but my doctor told me that it was normal for the first time in years! So I hope when they(weight loss center) checked it, they got the same. Thanks for checking on me. I hope your fill go as planned. All eyes are definitely going to be on you when you return to work girl! Take care and keep in touch!

Yea, I had the surgery on the 25th. Girl, It's been a painful journey! lol! I had the one incision through the belly button. My stomach is still very swollen! Read my post from from Saturday. Thanks for the picture compliment.... when you get a chance, read my response. Take care!

You look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G in your photos! Keep up the good work!

You look so much taller in the picture! Well, I guess your feet are not big after all! LOL! I hope you get your surgery soon. I played the wait game for several months. When it was time for me to go in for my initial meet with my doctor, I changed my mind. When I changed my mind, it's like it took them 3 months to get me back in there! Once I got back in to see the doctors, they told me that I didn't weigh enough! I was soooo upset! I paid a $60 co-pay just for them to tell me to go gain more weight! Because I didn't weigh enough when I saw the doctor, it's like it took them 4 more months just to get me to this point. Tomorow is the day and I am as ready as I'll ever be! It's been a long journey and just to think that this is just the beginning.... I'm so freaked out!
