I am so nervious.. ok excited was a better word. Cant sleep am so happy. i still cant believe that is happing.  It took so long to get here. I cant believe that I am here. Man almost a year. 
Ok my husband says that I am taking the easy way out. He just doesnt want to listen. So I am now doing this alone. Ok not alone with my mom but she is not my hubby. You know. But I know what I am going to have to go throught and it would just be nice to have his support weither he agreed or not. 
But I am looking forward to this.

Today I have an appointment to see my weight loss specialist. It has been one week since I started this journey. I go to the specialtist today and get my appointment to see the surgon and get my blood test results. I am excited to see what I have lost. I was walking 3 miles a day (about an hour) and wasnt losing anything. So I desided it was time for some intervention. I went last friday and was told that I was going to have to change my life. I was put on a low calorie, no carb diet. You have no idea how hard that was. I have 4 kids and a husband that is a meat and potatoe kinda guy. But I have been giving him small protions also... shhh he hasnt noticed yet. It has been difficult but I have made it.
update later.

My life has been so hectic that I havent been able to write anything.
Lots have changed since I last wrote. I put back on the weight off course, isnt that how it always goes. I am at 322. I had been talking to a few people in the waiting room at the weight loss center and someone mentioned that there was a doctor that did it closer to where I lived. I got that information. I called his office the minute that I got home and was schedualed for the seminar 2 weeks later.
When I went to the seminar I took my mom and now she wants to have the surgery also. When I went to the seminar I asked the receptionist if I should call and they said that they would be in contact with me. But I had talked to the Doctor after the semiar and he said to call in the morning which is what I did. I got an appointment the very next day..YAHOOOOO. so I was so excited that I couldnt sleep that night. this is what I had been waiting for. I meet all the office staff and asked as any questions that I had. I was then give the opertunitty to talk with the PA and she started asking me questions to see if I was just going at this to be skinny or if this is what I wanted "a weight loss tool". She actually said that I was very educated and that I knew alot about the surgery for just been to the seminar. I told her that I had been doing resurch on WLS since I started  thinking about it. Was given 2 more things to do and then its a waiting game. the billing nurse that since I have a couple things that are wrong with me I should have no problem with the approval.
so know its just a waiting game.
