I haven't updated in a while....
on March 26, 2007 11:16 am
Well as I explore more and more profiles I have come to the conclusion that alot of people start out updating on a daily basis or at least on a constant basis and alot of people have their surgery and then just leave the rest of us hanging by not updating with their progress.  I'm not exactly sure why that is maybe now that they are all done with surger they may be too busy with their new lives but come on now it only takes a few minutes to at least post the new weight and a couple of pictures.   

Profiles really help me and I run to them for reassurance that my journey is going to go well too and pics pics pics people they are posters for WLS and what the beginning, middle way and end rusults are or could be.   

I started out afraid of even having surgery but now I look at it in a different light. So with that being said I decided to make an on-going list of short term in-progress goals .... things that I expect from myself now or sometime in the near future and things in the long run.

Here is the first few that I can pull right off of the top of my head:

Short term goals: 

 1.  To be under 400 lbs....  I'm 27 lbs away from it and cant seem to lose not one pound of it..... I'm stuck here and its been almost 6 months now....

2.  To have more will power.....  (Yes Lord)

Long Term goals:

1.  To be able to roller blade fast
2.  To roller skate again
2.  To ride a bike again
3.  To run....  (without feeling like my lungs are going to drop out)and thats something that I didnt do well even when I was much lighter than I am now..
4.  To play softball (I used to love that playing that sport)
4.  To Salsa Dance all night and twirl like all those stick figures on the dance floor (ha ha)  my Fi'ance has been taking me to lessons for some time now...


Well Until later ..... oh yeah, almost forgot....  after sitting on my paperwork for the surgeon for almost two weeks, I was finally able to bring myself to fax the paperwork to the Bariatric Surgeons office and i have a couple of weeks b4 I get my appointment with them....  so yay for me....  two weeks shame on me!

Words of wisdom for the day:

Sometimes we, are the one's that hold ourselves back, and we are truly our own worst enemy...........

Day 2 of protein and one meal...
on March 13, 2007 11:29 am
Well it's going pretty good with my protien shakes and one meal consisting of 4 oz. of meat and 1 cup of veggies.... I thought that I would be on the floor dying of hunger but its amazing that the shakes keep me full for a while.... I didnt do well with getting all of the shakes in yesterday that I should have because I was so busy I didnt have time to prepare them so yesterday I had one shake at 8 am and didnt think about putting anything else into my stomach until 3:30 or so .. I just mixed some of the powder with water and went home and cooked baked fish and some steamed broccolli... and boy was I ready for that..... Then my boyfirend and I went to the gym.... and oh boy its been a few months since i was there... but i did good  WE STAYED FOR 3 HOURS of course I complained to my boyfriend for that but it wasnt all that bad.... but shh dont tell him   lol 

any way I'm trying to do better with my shakes today.   I have 27 lbs that I'm trying to get rid of so I'm off to my pool tonight so my boyfriend can teach me to swim....

Well....
on March 12, 2007 9:39 am

Ok I've decided not to take the position that I was offered... and I will proceed with my WLS Journey.. I plan to fax my papers off for my cousult no later than Wednesday... I have a very full week and a Dr. appointment on Thursday for another BP check ... he's trying to up or change my meds because my bp is high again...  Started on my pre-op diet today as recommended by the Surgeon and the nurses at the Bariatric Center for Excellence... so we will see how that goes ... I'm doing 3 shakes and one meal that consists of 4 oz of meat and one cup of veggies..... i was told that if that wasn't enough I can eat two fruits during the day but that's pretty much it...   So finally maye I can rid myself of this 27lbs thats just wont seem to go away... and after months and months of not going to the gym ... tonight i will step foot back in there... I told my Fiance' that I was going and he said ok we will go together so hey I've got a date at the gym... wow .... not only do I love him he is truly my best friend too.... ok till next time!

AND ONCE AGAIN HISTORY REPEATS IT'S SELF :(
on March 9, 2007 11:19 am

Well good news and bad news all bundled up in one... I had a phone interview today for a job that I've been trying to get for a couple of years now.... and I passed everything with flying colors and the hiring manager told me that she would be calling me back at the end of the day with an offer .....omg I've gotten this close and now this ...... I was told that i wouldn't be able to get medical on the new job for 6 months....   what should I do.... descisions, descisions.. what would you do ????  I need some guidance on this one  I'm really at a loss for words right now.....  (sighing)

Initial seminar/ class out of the way
on March 7, 2007 11:57 am
Ok Last nights class covered everything that I have educated myself about the different types of surgeries and they didn't provide anymore info than I already know so after the surgeons presentation was complete and the nurse statred with her Q&A time I used that time to fill out my paperwork to be submitted for my consult... and wouldnt you know it ... I left the paperwork at home oh well ... I did find out which types of protien I should pick up and  right after I went the mall near my house and went right into GNC.... i bought the biggest container of Whey Protien that I could find ... so I will use that one and then try another brand because the one that i got only gives you 24g of protien per serving and when i was scanning over my packet the paper said that it should be 30 to 40 grams per serving .... but I'm not throwing away money so i'm using it maybe i can do something else to get more protien and not so many carbs....  well til next time .... 

I am still trying to work on my 27lb loss goal and its been the hardest thing to do so I will start on monday with my protien and veggies and see how it goes  I really want to make my 27lb loss to get me to 399 ... finally the 3's ... may not seem like much but it will be a milestone for me!
