Hey again....so Its been a minute since my last post but I have taken my sleep apnea test and it was determined that I do not have sleep apnea which is a blessing because that stuff kills you...lets see I still have to gather all my info from previous doctors and prove just how long I've had high blood preassure, truth be told I've had it since I was 16 and thats just too much....its time out for that!!! Lets see I've sucessfully completed 2 months of my recommended 6 months of doctor supervised dieting and by the end of this month I will have been to 3 with my dietician so things are moving well and I'm trying to have everything I need done by the end of the 6months so as not to waste time when I finally submit my insurance info. All I can say is pray for me b/c this last month has been trying everytime I bring up the surgery I get 20 answers as to how its "the wrong thing to do", you're making a mistake, thats just laziness" and yada yada yada!!  Once again Im sticking to my guns I got this! Anway Im rambling on..again lol!
peace and blessings

Ok so I let another friend of mine in on my decision to pursue gastric bypass and immediately I get oh I know so and so and she cant eat 1 piece of meat, oh you gonna look like a melting bowl of ice cream, oh you dont really need to go that far..and blah blah blah...anyway I calmly replied and gave her the same reason I gave everyone else..and thats that I will not change my mind and I pray lord help me to stand still and see the blessings in store for me after surgery, and help me to continue on with the process.

p.s to anyone reading this who hasn't had the surgery but wants to keep the faith and believe without a doubt that it will happen 

peace and blessings

Soooooo I went to the dietician again and talked about my food habits, she also had me write down what I eat so as to create behavior modification, which is cool because I need to see what Im eating. She lol... I keep saying it like you know her.... her name is Carole and shes very nice kinda funny. I go again on the 24th of this month for my monthly follow up...Im trying to get a head start because according to my insurance I know that they require this the majority of the time..so if I calculated it right I could very well be bringing my 6months of physcian supervised visits to a close right around my bday so as to  continue the process of getting the surgery done...and right now I feel so scatter brain because I have the dietician visits, working out, blogging my eating, and a WLS seminar I will attend also this month on the 17th at Baylor hospital not to mention my job...man I was just thinking of asking my sis and mother to come with me...they dont oppose the idea of surgery but they aren't cheering strong in my corner but maybe the seminar will educate them on the facts instead of what they often times see on t.v even Carole (my dietician) told me that the patients they sometimes place on tv are superobese meaning even though
"we are all obese tv will over compensate by showing someone who is 600-800lbs having surgery and possibly some complications" which makes sense because thats good tv but the remainder of us (myself included) who are in the are of 200-500lbs may sometimes be seen as not needing the surgery. Speaking of that when id being obese become ok its murder on your body, and guarantee to die b4 ones time...lately I'll disclose to close friends that I want the surgery and they will tell me "oh you're not really that big what do you weigh loke 250? And it makes me want to laugh because I know the truth..but anyway I had to vent about that it makes me want to scream I AM OBESE AND UNHEALTHY!!! but I guess they will see the light after i lose the weight..Well thats my time and my rambling on
peace and blessings!
