Bad Weekend
on July 25, 2010 5:53 pm
 Ok, so I had a pretty bad weekend. My daughter had to go to Des Moines for testing, and I wasn't able to plan my meals as I should have. I pretty much ate what I wanted, when I wanted. Gained some weight back , but tomorrow is a brand new day/week. Time to start fresh again, and get back on track. I know I can do this. I HAVE to. Come on November!!!! Let's rock this!!!!

Lost 7 More Pounds
on July 21, 2010 7:15 am
 Went back to my pcp for July to weigh in on my supervised diet. I lost 7 more pounds!!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!! GO ME!!!! lol. Can't wait until November.  It probably helps that I write down everything I eat.  I have a pretty purple journal. :)
Today we have to leave to take our daughter to Des Moines for medical testing. They are worried about her growth hormone. *sigh* Poor baby.  I am also hoping that I get a call from Community Action soon, since I applied for a medical assisting position that they have open.  I really want to get an interview and get this job.

Not Such a Good Day...
on July 6, 2010 9:04 pm
 Ok, so today didn't seem to be a very good day.  I got a hold of the surgeon's office, and they received the letter from Dr. Lassise, my psychiatrist that I saw.  However, my doctor that I did the supervised diet with must have lost my records or something, because they only got two things faxed to them.  I saw him from August to February or March, so I was very disappointed.  I am doing a supervised diet with my PCP while waiting for this process, but now I won't be done with that until November, because I am just starting month 3.   I was hoping to have surgery sooner rather than later.  Then, when I got to work today I had a call from an office that I applied at stating that they offered the job to a different candidate.  Sucks.  I was looking forward to getting different working hours.  So now, not only is my surgery postponed for another 3-4 months, but I still hardly get to see my kids because of my work schedule.  I have just been down and out all day because of this.  Hopefully these next few months will just fly by so I can submit my packet and get approved.  This dumb diet is the only thing holding up getting my packet sent in.  UGH!!!!

On a good note, I have been doing very well on the diet, I am just worried about when the six months is done.  I don't want to gain it all back.  I have lost about 13 pounds so far since the end of May. Not too shabby, I guess.  Since starting in August that would bring my grand total to 50pounds, but really it is more like 72 pounds because of the 20 I regained and re-lost.  This never works for me and I just hope I can get through the rest of this successfully.  Anyway, heading to bed now, so I will post later about my progress, since I won't be able to post about my upcoming surgery for a really really really long time to come.  That can be my next count down timer...time until my 2nd 6 month diet is done.  LOL.

Still Waiting...
on July 4, 2010 9:57 am
 Well, as of last week I am still waiting for my letter from the psychiatrist to show up at my surgeon's office.  I am also still waiting for my 6 months of supervised diet records to also be faxed over. I am going to call again Tuesday (seeing as how they aren't open Monday) to see if they have received anything from either office yet. If not, I will see what I can do to get the things I need, because I need to get this process going!!! Ugh!!!  I have been doing lots of research about the RNY procedure, and I have even been checking out different prices on proteins that I need to sample to see if I can find one I can suck down.  I understand that they are pretty nasty and the one I like pre-surgery may not be the one I like post-surgery.  Hopefully I can get things moving soon.  On a good note, I have lost 12 pounds on the phentermine. It's not much for almost two months out, but at least it is something!!!  Anyway, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!  Will post Tuesday when I find out more information about what the freakin' hold up is.
