Blogging a  bit early but thought I better do it while I had time.... I am so excited....My one year annv is around the corner!!! June 4th will be one year since my surgery....
And I feel FANTASTIC!! Still got a ways to go but I am down almost 200lbs now and have finally hit the 200's!!!! 
Just made the decision to switch from using Columbia University to going back to Dr.Scott....St.Louis will be a lot closer to me and with a upcoming surgery I feel better about using Dr.Scott again....Go to see im June 12th and hope to get an ideal of when I might get to do my hernia repair and tummy tuck.....

Today I had another Carboxy Hemoglobin done to show I had quit smoking...My level was only 2pts above normal so I am in hopes things will be fine....Had a urin test repeated because I had a kidney infecton the prior week....Test was clear.....yeeee hawwww....things are starting to look pretty good.....
Today is Thursday.....3 more days to go till Monday......I am  so darn excited I don't know what to do with myself lol lol.......Will be spending the next few days getting things ready for the hospital for when I get home...
I guess my next blog will be about the surgery it's self and my hospital stay....
I also weighed yesterday and I have lost aprox 57.5lbs now!!!!!  Just a few more and I will have lost 60lbs pre-op....Maybe I will get those few pounds in by Monday before surgery!

Haven't poste in a bit...Thought I better get caught up...

Went to see Dr Scott for my montly appt May 10th....I had lost enough to get to set a date for my pre-op class.....So they made me an appt for the class and to go to the hospital and get all the paper work and all done I needed for surgery.....My date for my WLS is Juen 4th!!!! I am soooo excited!!!! 
I start my pre-op diet May 21st.....And today is May 18th and I smoked my last cig a little bit ago and plan on quitting for my surgery! Sure hope I have given myself enough time and won't have any problems!!!!
Also want to add that I went to see my PCP..Dr. Valerie Smith between these two appts becasue my back was bothering me....I finally weighed on her scales!!!! I was so tickled!!!!! Her scales have not been able to weigh me for about a year now!!! 
Whooooo Hoooooo things are looking sooooo good right about now......I am looking so forward to watching the pounds fall off one by one!!!!!

Trucken toward my 50 lb goal....

Apr 25, 2007

Whooopeeee.....I weighed tonight and I am now 13lbs from my 50lb goal Dr.Scott set for me to be able to have my surgery!!!! If I loose approx 8 of it by the time I go back in two weeks he will let me go ahead with things and have the time I am waiting for my surgery date to loose the last bit of it!!!!! I am so excited!!!!!! 
April 26 marks my 2 months on the liquid diet...I wish I could have been stonger in the begining..If so I could have probably lost my whole 50 and then a few by now.....But I am still proud of myself....I have never done this good on my own before!!!!


More appts set for the 10th

Apr 14, 2007

Dr. Scotts office called friday and told me they had set me up with a few more appts for May 10th while I am up that way.....Looks like I am going to have a full day...I am going for a PFT and a stress test first at the hospital, then I go to RUSK to learn my exercises for my hernia and my buldging disc then I will be off to see Dr.Scott after that.....Thank God I am almost finished with all my appts....By then I should have my appt done and over with, with the dietician too .....Sooooooooooo unless they drop something else on me I will be all done with all my stuff they require before surgery!!!!!! YES YES YES YES!!!!!!! Still working on the 23lbs to add to my other 23lbs so Dr.Scott will be pleased enough with me that he will set my date!!!!  Lord willing and the creeks don't rise I will get to have my surgery by the end of May or mid June!!!!!!

2nd visit with Dr.Scott....April 4th....

Apr 06, 2007

Well my second appt with Dr. Scott went really well. I am down to just needing to see Dr.Halstenson, getting my paper work filled out by a NUT & exercise person and all that will be done and out of the way....My official weight loss since I last seen him was 23lbs!!! He was really pleased with that! But I have to looe 23 more so that when I go back for my 3rd appt I can get my pre-op appt set and my surgery date set!!!! I am getting even more excited now....If all goes well I might get to have my surgery by the end of May or the first of June......Very soon I will be a looser yippppeeeeee!!!!!!


ONE MONTH ON LIQUID DIET!!!!

Mar 27, 2007

Monday, March 26th was my one month mark being on my liquid protein diet.....I have lost aprox...25lbs!!!!!! If it weren't so hard to do the protien drinks alone and not eat at least one small meal a day I might have lost even more...but I just seem to not be able to do it with the drink alone....but.... WOW.....I have never lost 25lbs in one month before on my own....
