So those 34 pounds I was required to loose before my second appointment well they are officially gone!! I am down to 450!! I can't believe I actually did it! It's been a rough 8 weeks. I fell down a few times but I always got back up again. I am now waiting on the nurse to call me to see if I can get my second appointment. I don't have high hopes yet I figure the doctor is going to try to throw me another curve ball. But fingers and toes crossed and down on my knees praying that he lets me start the rest of the process. I'm so ready to get my date and start the rest of my new life!! Thank you to everyone here that has said kind words to me!! I really appreciate everything! I also want to thank everyone who posts here. I enjoying reading everyone's stories and advice. It really helps a newbie out on what to expect!

I have a one year old too!! And she will be with her Nana for the week - luckily she lives close by and can come visit but that will be so hard!!!! She spends the night at her house all the time but not for a week!!!!!

I don't have that luxury. Mine will be home but I have someone that's going to come stay with me. So I will still hear her throwing her fits and she will probably try to climb on me so I'm going to have to watch out for that. I'm going to get respite for my fosters. Hopefully they can find somewhere for them to go. I'm not stopping my surgery. That will be the agency's fault. It's hard sending them off since I've had them so long but they will only be gone a week.

Yes! One week won't be bad! I will miss her like crazy but - it for the best!

Just remember you won't be able to pick ip anything over 10lbs for the first 30days or you may create a hernia be cautious!
