finally feeling better... on January 30, 2007 12:14 am
finally getting over being sick, and then a terrible allergic reaction. i am so glad to be feeling better and able to get out and move again. today i took the dogs for a good brisk walk in the freezing cold, but it did feel good to get moving. i ordered my gazzelle, and it should be here in about a week. i can't wait to start on that. i also finally bought the "sink reflections" book so that i can start to get my house organized. i think i am going to like the "flybaby" plan once i get started. i seem to be losing very slowly. i have my 3 month appointment on thursday (a little late), so we will see what the doc says.

i'm not posting as often... on January 9, 2007 11:56 am
tuesday, january 9th, afternoon
well today is going to be a good day. i finally found a protein drink that i can at least get down my throat. it isn't as bad as all of the others that i have tried, so i am going to try to have one a day. i really do pretty well getting my protein from food, but i would like to up my protein to maybe speed up my weight loss. i feel like i am a slow loser.
sunday was wonderful. i took my little sister (44 years old, but younger than me, so she is still my baby sister!) to the eagles game. it was a playoff game, so it was crazy and my eagles won, so it was a great time!! two more wins and we go to the superbowl!!! go eagles!
i am now down a total of 50 pounds... 12 before surgery and 38 since. i struggle with head hunger, but i am trying to get a grip on that. my energy is not really good, i want to sleep a lot, and i do take all of my suppliments. i need to move more on a daily basis, i was at the gym today, and now i am going to get off of my butt and clean out the refridgerator. have a good one everyone.
E~A~G~L~E~S ... EAGLES!!!

it was a wonderful holiday... on December 27, 2006 8:03 pm
wednesday, december 27, 2006
my family and i had the most wonderful hanukah and christmas this year and we all had such a wonderful time spending time together.
one gift i especially love is my "poof fairy". she is just the cutest thing... with wings and a magic wand. on the end of her wand is a small sign that says "poof, you're skinny".
it was from my little sister, o'k, so she's 44. she has always been the "skinny" sister (she prefers "thin", but heck at 5'6" tall and right around 100 pounds, i still say she's "skinny").
i hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and keep losing!

My Story
saturday, september 30, 2006
i am 48 years old and have always had a weight problem. i am married with two grown children. my daughter is 21, teaches pre-school and is engaged to be married (yes, we like him very much!), my son is 20 and is still in college, majoring in english and business. i have been at a decent weight 4 times in my life... unfortunately, i would never keep it off any longer than 6-8 months.
on thursday, september 28th, i had my consult with my surgeon. i had already attended the mandatory education seminar, and one of the two mandatory support group sessions. i was able to schedule all of my necessary appointments for next week. i.e.: cardiology, pulmonary, and psych. i also had an endoscopy and colonoscopy already scheduled for next thursday. i have also called my pcp and requested my chart notes with weight and weight loss attempts included for the past two years. i also put a call in to the program that i did with a nutritionist and nurse at our gym. i should be able to have all of my paperwork into the surgeon's office on friday morning, and they said that they would send it in right away. my surgeon is scheduling now for the end of october, however, he will be on vacation the week of the 23rd. they do have an opening available for the 18th, so if my insurance approval is fast, i could be on my way to a healthier life in about 3 1/2 weeks. woohooo!!!
i can't weight to get off of my c-pap machine, and my hbp meds, and high cholesterol meds. i have a lot of back and joint trouble and have had 3 spine surgeries. i am hoping that together with my latest surgery (i have an artificial disc in my lower back) and the loss of weight i will feel much better and be able to become more active.
here you will find an overview of my journey. for detailed journal entries, please visit my profile blog.  i am scheduled for RNY on october 18, 2006!!! yeah!!!
