My Journeys Coming 2 A peak!
on April 4, 2010 2:08 pm

Okay.. So, I haven't written in a while...
Since the last time Ive posted anything, Ive done my Cardio eval over, Blood work over, and scheduled my last weigh-in which is April 6th!
I'm sooo super excited and cant wait for this process to be over!
 
I started last year in June with another Hospital; Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx(They are the most hood-unprofessional, non coordinated place Ive been) then I switched in November to Tristate Bariactrics- Although most of my Journey had to start over I couldn't be HAPPIER here.
Ive lost all my 5% in weight and now I'm "teeter-tootering" between 353/351 which both are Right on target so, Its cool
I have also started drinking excessive amounts of water.. This has aided me tremendously in losing weight. I don't care too much for rice and other starches so, cutting those out were easy.. I bought all types of protein drinks but haven't really gotten into them.
Man.. I don't know what else to say but wish me luck.. I still have to go to Montefiore to get the last piece of this puzzle done- My complete endoscopy report (they only gave me one part knowing I would need both and I've been calling for weeks to get someone on the phone but to no avail, I have to go to the Bronx to get some answers.)
