Well I guess all I had to do was call. I called and told them I finally got to my goal weight!  So they set my surgery for 10/3/07!!!  Can you believe it! less than 3 weeks away!!

Getting ready by working out and dieting of course.  Can't wait for this life style change. I'm scared, but I feel good at the same time. 

Love,
Katie

The thing is my sister was here from out of town and I totally sabotaged my diet, more than a few times.  I now have to start all over because I was doing soo great!  I am in need of losing 11 lbs now, and last week it was only 8, so you can see how bad I did.  

I am back on track, going to gym, drinking protein drinks and watching late night eating, and of course, drinking lots of water. Hopefully it doesn't take me that long to lose these 11 lbs! i'm sooo upset but can't give up!

Since my last post a number of things have happened:

1) found out I have gal stones.
2) went ER because of pain from GalStones.
3) joined a gym
4) Lost 13 lbs. 
5) Started eating right and moving more.

My Dr. said it is absolutely necessary to get my galbladder removed and he would like to do the procedure at the same time we do the WLS.  Well in order to get the WLS i need to weigh at least 371. Which means I need 15 lbs to go!  I am working out and eating right, which means eating practically nothing at all! but I am happy because my diet is working and I have already lost 13lbs. 

I am hoping by late August or Early September I will be able to get the surgery!

My surgeon has contacted me and said that he is good to proceed with the surgery as long as I get a Thyroid Test done and get down to my goal weight of 371.  Well on Monday, 3/26/07, I went to weight watchers and got on the scale.  I nearly fainted when I saw the number 399!  I have gained so much weight! I have to lose 30 lbs in order to get the surgery! I am so upset w/myself.  I let myself eat high fat things all the time and never exercised.  My baby is now 10 months old and I have nothing to show for that time.  I am going to work very hard to get down to 371 very soon so that i may have the surgery at least by summer, but i won't get my hopes high.  My husband and I just celebrated our 4th year anniversary and we went on a cruise with our friends! I was very disappointed afterwards at seeing the pictures, because I am definetly fatter than ever!  I know I should not get down on myself, but I really did bad this time. Things are going to change w/ weight watchers.  They have a new program and now you can have more points if you weigh more like me, which will help me stick to do the diet and lose weight successfully.  I will keep you posted with the news of my upcoming surgery.
