on October 4, 2012 11:12 am
Feeling alot better, moving well and enjoying my walks. Hate the sagging skin and spoke with Dr about referral which he says he will sign 1 year after surgery date. Need to lose as much as I can by then. Wish me luck.155 lost since orientation, 129 since my DS in Feb.

25 days til surgery
on January 14, 2012 5:37 pm
I am sitting here watching the clock as it slowly takes me through another day. All I can do now is wait for time to pass and for Kaiser to send the requested results. One thing I know is I need to make sure this waiting game does not lead me to bad eating habits. I started pumping in the vitamins and reading the info sent from surgeons staff. I feel ready and can hardly wait.

My Story

I need to lose weight before I can be considered  for surgery.I have been told to lose 80 pounds,40 before I make another appt with the surgeon.While I realize it is all up to me,I could surely use some help.Advice,motivation and support would be greatly appreciated.I have joined a gym and started treadmill workouts along with my mealplan.My main motivation is my 8 year old grandaughter who is a big part of my life and is very active.I want this badly so I can enjoy and extend my life.
