Thanks I will do that tonight I have a pic from last month so I will compare!

Wow...well here I am banded for a week and 2 days. I am back at work today for the first time and OMG my port is killing me. I have gotten up and walked every 15 minutes becauase that is all that helps. I have a desk jpb so it is not that bad, but I feel like I am always walking around. My manager is ok with it and she knows I get my work done, but it scares me as to what others will think. I am not hungry, but also terrified to put anything thicker than cream soup in my mouth. I am down 10 lbs from my surgury date and I love it!!! One week 10 lbs I'll take it! hope everyone is doing well!

well I am done with week one and moving on to week 2 I lost 4 pounds last week! :thumbup: And the best part I was on Vacation while I was doing it! :biggrin: It is really not as hard as I thought it was....I even have the kids reading labels for nutrition facts before they eat something... :smile: the 23rd is right around the corner and I can not wait!!!

I just recieved my aproval letter and I am so excited! I can not wait to make the call to my surgeon's office today to make my appointment! I am already down 7 lbs from the last time I wrote! this has been a long wait and now my journey is begining!

I am going crazy waiting to hear form my insurance company. I think they are trying to get me to give up and not have this done. We have been denied now more times than I can count. The funny part is that they have everything they are looking for. :thumbup: I have gone thru the sleep study and wow that was the weirdest thing I have ever done! All my pre testing is done and I am jsut waiting fo rthe insurance. I must admit i am a little nervous. I mean I know this is what I want to do! I know I can be successful at it. I am trying to ease myself in tothe pre surgury diet now before I have to do it. I LOVE UNJURY Protein!!! I tis so good. I mix it with the 1/2 skim and 1/2 skim milk cubes that I have frozen. It is totally like a milkshake!!!! My son even tested it one day and thought mom should you have this? :tongue_smilie: I am a workout girl, so I am worried as to how long before I will be able to get back into that after surgury? I will keep you posted thru my progress and let you know how I do. Right now I am at 227 and hope to go to 135 by the end of this...that was my before babies weight...
