A wow moment today at the surgeons office. 

I got so much praise for losing 53 lbs in 2 months.  I was told to keep doing the diet up until the day of surgery.  I was amazed when the nurse said that I should make an appointment with my regular doctor so that I can get off of my blood pressure meds.  wow, my blood pressure was low... and I'm still taking the same amout that was prescribed originally.  So that's a good thing I was never too happy about having to take medication for life anyway. So that pretty much explains why I've been getting so dizzy and feeling like I'm about to FALL THE HELL out literally.  I thought my blood pressure was high but no it's the complete opposite.  The nurse told me to hurry up and go to the doctor because I may pass out if I keep taking the meds. 

That's it for now ......

Surgery is approved now I have to call the surgeons office to let them know the date that I want to have surgery.   


Til later

So I did it...... down 30 the first month and 20 more this month..... Satisfied is all I can say.  I just hope to be as successful with the band.



Talk to you all later!

I guess I need to put up some recent pictures

Wow I can not believe it! I started off at 451 as of 4/25/08 and now I'm 403, with an appointment with the surgeon on 6/26/08 to be checked out and also to get my new surgery date for the lap band.  

I really kicked ass and will continue to stay on the pre-op diet up until the day of surgery if it is safe to do so. 

I can now wear all the clothes in my closet and have given away the 30's that I bought for comfort that now would literally just hang too big on me and my 28's have a ton of room in them to so I will part with those too and will continue to give away my jeans as I continue to lose.

I would have never imagined that I could lose so much weight so fast with a diet alone!

I'll keep you posted
