Was supposed to schedule today at the pre-op consult, but that got canceled due to the ice storm in Austin. 2 week delay might push me out of Feb.. :-(

Everything else is done...

I am calling Dr. Ortiz today to schedule for Feb. 21. I have been looking into this since October 2005. My insurance won't cover it, so we are headed to Mexico. I am very excited. My husband is VERY supportive. We are actually going to make a vacation out of it and meet his parents in San Diego and visit Sea World, they will watch our daughter for the 3 days I will be in Mexico.

I am planning on returning to work the following Monday. I'll let you all know tonight if I get the date I am shooting for. :clap2: :)

I see it Kedasmom!

Mom2Sassy: How exciting.. I wish my mom would just go to Mexico.. her insurance won't pay and I've been sending her all the links... If I could afford it I would just fly her down there and pay for it myself...

Just came in from my bus run. Someday soon It will be alot easier checking those seats, fitting down that isle:cheer2:. My pre-tests are Jan.29th. I have to miss the morning run. I'm so excited, even these tests are looking good to me. I had to see a physiologist for my phobia of needles. He says I'm ready. I've had a few needles,one in the elbow, an IV, and blood drawing (can't exactly practice this). But I want it so bad that if I'm not ready they'll (Doctors) have to deal with it, or me.

TracyinKS - thanks for adding me to the list

Tracy you will be fine! Just be honest in giving your answers. At my consult the psychologist wanted to know why i thought I was over wieght, how I thought the band would help me, and we talked about was with how to deal with my emotions after surgery since I will not be able to eat my emotions away anymore. It was pretty painless and kind of nice to get out any fears that I had. My whole session was talking though I did not have to take an assement. Don't think of it as so much of a test but more of an assessment of who you are.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
