WENT TODAY TO SEE DR. SHIN AND ALL WENT WELL. I WEIGHED 229. HE SAID I AM DOING GREAT. I AM DOWN 136 POUNDS NOW. MY NEXT APPOINTMENT IS IN THREE MONTHS AND HE WANTS ME TO LOSE 20 MORE POUNDS BY THEN. HIS FINAL GOAL FOR ME IS 170, MY GOAL IS 160. HE IS SUCH A WONDERFUL DR. SO ENCOURAGING, SUPPORTIVE AND ALWAYS TAKES TIME FOR YOU.  I HAVE NOT HAD ANY TRANSFER ADDICTIONS AND I AM STILL LEARNING TO COOK POUCH FRIENDLY FOODS. I NEED TO SPACE MY MEALS MORE EVENLY. I NEED TO EXERCISE MORE. I AM FAR FROM PERFECT BUT I AM GOING SLOW AND RE-LEARNING GOOD HABITS AND REPLACING THE BAD ONES. I AM TOO HARD ON MYSELF SOMETIMES. THE ONLY BAD HABIT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH IS SODIUM ( I LOVE SALT) HOWEVER INSTEAD OF CHIPS I WILL GET BELL PEPPERS AND SALT THEM. SO OVER ALL I DO THINK I AM DOING GOOD. 70 MORE POUNDS TO GO.... CAN'T WAIT. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ALREADY. I WILL TRY TO KEEP IN TOUCH MORE OFTEN. BYE FOR NOW.

Had three month check up last week. I have lost 80 pounds.....YEAH!!!  Sorry, it has been so long since last post. I did not have too much trouble recovering however, it's been hard getting my protein in. I haven't been hungry and kind of depressed. The only complication I had was super senses, I could not stand strong smells and most tastes for a month. I think I need my blood levels checked because I am so tired and have a lot of muscle and joint pain right now. Would I do it again? Yes, I sure would. I see a big difference in my body already. I will try to keep in touch sooner. Bye for now.

Sorry, its been a while. I did not pass the preop testing. The ekg came back abnormal and had to do a stress test. Cardiologist just cleared me for surgery last week. I go for preop tomorrow. New surgery date is Monday 3/15/10.  I am ready. House is clean, papers in order, pantry stocked with phase 1,2,3, & 4 foods, support system (family & friends) ready, and even bought a pregnancy pillow for comfort. Ha Ha. Any tips out there to make it an easier transition when I get home? Wish me luck tomorrow at preop....buy for now :)

I did three months of dieting and went through all the testing.  I am so glad it is all over. My preop testing is February 17, 2010.

My first consultation is September 29.  Can't wait!
