Two Weeks Out
on October 15, 2007 6:22 am
I have not been very good about posting on here, but here we go.

I am now two weeks out and am feeling pretty good.  I thought that I would be back to my normal self by now, but maybe my expectations are a little high. Still pretty sore on the left side of my body I am on my second week of eating the mushy food and it is going ok.  I am down 20 pounds since 9/28.  I am walking every day and this week I move up to 3 miles. also, today I am going to start lifting weights again. I am used to going to the gym at work on a daily basis.  I am such a routine person, and so far my routine is screwed up.  Maybe, I can return to work next week or so.  I want to be eating regular foods.  My job is not that flexible so I have to be on when I return.  Unitl nex time.

Woo Hoo I have a surgery date.  Sept 28th.  I am excited and scared all rolled into one.  On Sept 20th I will start the liquid phase of the rest of my life.  I thank God.  I almost can't wait to start my journey.

Just returned from by second visit @ Dr. Barkers office.  Everything going well.  Just 4 more visits to go, beofre it can be submitted to the insurance co.  The waiting game is tough.  but, I will have to say that I a a lot more educated about this that 60 days ago.  So the payoff has been good.

North Texas Group

Wow!  What an awesome group of people.  The meeting was held at Rachel's home(kudos to you).  Each and everyone that I met is special.  They were so accomodating to my questions and curosity.  Since I have not had surgery yet and am not even scheduled, I feel like a sponge just trying to suck in all I can. Everyone I met has their own story of wieght loss, eating habits, etc.One of the ladies (Danni) has actually lost a whole person.  So has Tammi.  To see some of these people and try and imagine how much that have lost is mind boggling.  I can not even imagine what iit is like for them to feel and be so much healthier.  That is my untimate goal.  I was so motivated last night until I could not sleep.  this not sleeping thing has become a habit and now I am functioning daily on 4 hours sleep. This is not good.  I am sure it will turn around soon, I have faith.
I actually go up and went and worked out at 4:45 this am.  May God give me the strength to go each and every day.Well I need to go.  Dr. Apt today for weigh in and follow-up.
