Have you ever wanted something so bad and it seemed like you'd never have it?  Do you know what it's like to feel bad all the time and wonder if you'll ever feel better? If you're on this website, you probably do.  It's a common struggle among the obese. I want to be very open and share every aspect of my struggle in hopes that someone can be helped.

Surgery Date???
on September 29, 2010 12:07 pm
I was told that I could have my surgery a month out from my first appointment. It's not quite happening that way...so I'm still waiting. Thanks for all of the congrats and well wishes...but I'm still waiting. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

My weight didn't move this week...

I'm really frustrated about it, too. I was hoping today would be my last weigh-in.  The doctor won't be back in the office until Thursday and I have to go in for another weigh-in on Wednesday. Oh well...I guess it's better safe than sorry. I'm stuck at 21lbs lost in three weeks. I'm retaining water because of my womanly and I just don't need this right now. JEEESH!!!

Talk about frustrated. But all things happen for a reason. I'll be ok. Everything will be ok. I will get this weight off at some point!

This is really happening!

I'm getting closer! I lost 8 more lbs this week. That's 21 total lbs in two weeks! My dietician wants me to shoot for 50, but I've pretty much hit my surgeon's goal. I'm still pushin', though. I have one more weigh in and I'll be set. I'm so grateful to God for strength and more energy!

I'm getting more and more excited each day, but it's really strange. The people I expected to be there for me don't seem really happy. I need to post about this.

I love this site. It's really like my therapy.

I am determined!

I'm praising God for a new outlook. I'm not looking back anymore. I'm pressing forward.

As I stated in a previous post, I have been trying to have weight loss surgery for many years. My company will not pay.  I spent a lot of time being bitter about this, but I let it go and just determined that I would have to do the work on my own without any help. 

A lady from my church is having the VGS (Vertical Gastric Sleeve) surgery on 9/28, She said God put it on her heart to pay for my surgery, too. Yes, you read it right.  God is still working miracles.  How does this happen?

She told me I could take as long as I needed to pay her back. I am still speechless. I check in with her every couple of days to let her know what my progress is with my appointments. I'm so excited at the prospect of having a new life.

My nutritionist put me on a 1200 calorie/day diet and I'm doing well. I've lost 13lbs since last Thursday. My husband and I laughed after I left my appointment because the nutritionist had me weigh twice because he couldn't believe I'd lost so much so quickly. God is good to me. I am so very blessed. Everything in my life is not perfect, but I am remaining positive and looking to the hills where my help comes from.

I've had my metabolic panel and blood count done. My cardiologist has given me clearance. I'm on my pre-op diet, I have my psych eval scheduled for next week, I did my exercise physiology consult yesterday, and I just have to meet officially with the nutritionist to get my pre-op/post op eating plan.

I pray that things go smoothly. I'm sure they will. I'm trusting God for the best.
