I am 49 years old, and have struggled for years trying to get my weight back down.

I have not always been over weight as a child I was skinny, as puberty hit I found that I actually had to diet as the weight seemed to come on very easy.  I joined the Army shortly after graduating High School and was in the best shape I have ever been. 
While in the Army I met my Husband, once out of the Army we married and have been married ever since.  He has been very supportive of me and does not mind my weight.  He just wants me to be healthy.  Heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure run in my family.  I don't have any of these but my doctor assures me that I will if I don't get my weight down.

I have been approved and was supposed to have the gastric sleeve on 5/11, but the results from my EKG came back bad so I had to get Cardiac clearance which I have now.  My heart is fine.  My surgery is now set for Wednesday 5/23/2012.
I am so excited and nervous all at the same time!!

1 Month Post - OP Doctor appointment
on June 25, 2012 9:57 am
I go today for my 1 month Post -Op appointment with the Nutritionist and the doctor.

I sure hope I get good news.  I have been on a liquid diet for almost 5 weeks now it will be 5 weeks this Wednesday.  It is getting harder to put the soup up to my mouth and all the protein shakes.

I haven't been loosing on the scale so much but clothes are fitting looser and everyone keeps telling me how skinny I am getting.  At this point it is still a numbers game and I want to see the numbers on the scale come down.  We shall see what the scale at the doctors office say as a pposed to my scales at home and go from there.

Wish me luck!!  I will post later how it goes at the doctors!

Well, have had an up and down time recently.

I have not lost anything in over a week.  I am still on liquid diet.  I just want to eat some real food.

My doctor wants me on liquid diet for as long as I can handle it , he said that my stomacj was thicker than normal and that concerned them so he wants me on liquid longer to give my stomach enough time to heal.  I have only been getting in about 500 to 1000 cals a day and most of my protein (they want me to get 80 - 100 grams) and also pushing the water, getting at least 6 glasses sometimes 8.  Clothes are getting losser but scale is not going down.

I go to the doctor on Monday and hopefully he will let me move to pureed diet, can't believe that I am looking forward to pureed foods!!  Haven't been able to eat fruit and all my favorite are on sale so I bought Bing Cherries yesterday and dpitted them and froze them to eat later when I can have them.  Also am going to freeze blueberries, strawberries and blackberries.

Hope everyone is doing well with their weight loss.

2 days till surgery!
on May 21, 2012 6:24 am
I am so excited, but also nervous with the prospect of this new adventure.

I am so ready for this new life style and so much has happened leading up to this, I am afraid to get to excited since I was suppose to have the surgery on Friday May 11 and ended up having it postponed at the last minute do to results from my EKG.

After more test my heart is fine and I have my clearance and I pray to GOD that there will be no more disappointments and all goes as planned.

Have to go back to eating my yogurt and drinking my water.
