OK so I haven't been going to the gym as much as I should, got on birth control and have had some breakthrough bleeding so its had me worn down and the cravings for the whole monthly PMS have been there . I'm forcing myself to get up tomorrow and get my butt to the gym since the next weigh in is in about 16 days and I'm sure I have gained some of the 11lbs I have lost, back. It's SOOO hard keeping the weight off while waiting to be scheduled for the surgery, it's like an endless torture. I feel like a big ol' yo-yo.  I hope I can pull this all off in 16 days I know I can with the help of my amazing fiance since he will be right by my side at the gym. ugh this surgery can not come any quicker! Lord please give me the strength to pull through.  

Ok little update here, went to nutrional class today which was just the basics on the protien shakes, vitamins, and foods we can eat afterwards. Nutrionist said that they don't do the whole liquid diet thing before surgery unless you are having a hard time losing the weight needed or maintaining the weight before surgery so the liver won't be fatty. I go for my sleep study May 22nd, can't remember if I posted that before or not. Support group is May 15th. Get my psych results on the 16th. So pretty much everything is wrapping up. May's check up is the 30th, hopefully we can book the surgery date then since my doctor is already booking for july! crazy! so hoping its before our birthdays in august! Back to hardcore working out and eatting right dont want to mess anything up. Till next time!

Well went for a weigh in on 4/26/12 lost 11lbs! YAY go me Got my sleep study scheduled for 5/22/12 for my first overnight study. NP said that they are going to start forwarding all paperwork to the insurance dept. and surgery will be scheduled sometime in July! WOW, it's going by so fast!

Ok so it has been a little bit since I posted in here, been side tracked with things going on around me. UGH hate when that happens. Well lets see I have my first psych appt. April 18th which consists of 3 appts. I had my blood work done on 4/6/12. Now I just need to get my sleep apnea study done, which is starting to be a pain in the behind, since my doctors office isn't too speedy with things and didn't get the letter of necessity in within in the time frame that my insurance needed. I have been trying my hardest with the whole dieting thing, and I must say I have my good days and I have my bad days. Which lately has been bad days since alot has been going on. I promised myself this week, I NEED to start going to the gym hardcore and really focusing on my dieting and eating slower since my next check up with the bariatric clinic is the 27th of April. I don't want to go and not be down any weight seeing I have to lose 5% which is about 15lbs. I'm limited to a 1200 calorie diet, but from what the nutritionist says I can go up to 1500 if I really need to. This is so much harder than I thought it would be, but trying to stay focused and look at the goal ahead. God just give me the strength I need to get through this and everything else going on around me. Well till next time

Went to my first actual consultation with Dr. Simon today it went real well. He gave me the blood tests that I need to go to my GP for along with an EKG. Also I had to call and get set up with my psych evaluation, which paperwork will be mailed today. Met with the nutritionist, she gave me paperwork on what I need to do to help aide in my 5% weight loss, scheduled our nutrition meeting for May 15th so me and John can do it together. John goes next week for his consult with Dr. Simon so next week together we will be setting up our next months appt. which the office is letting us do so it's easier for us, which is pretty awesome. Our support meeting won't be till like a week before surgery. Everyone at the office seems real nice so here's to a speedy weight loss and to insurance approving me, well us. Till next time

Gastric doctor called today and I have my first consultation with him tomorrow at 10:45am. I'm overly excited yayyyyyyy!

So I got a call yesterday from the bariatric clinic and she asked when she should be expecting the referral from my doctor, I had explained to her I saw my doctor on Saturday, and my doctor was going to do a letter of recommendation for me. The lady from the clinic explained she didn't need that, in fact she needed an actual referral faxed to her from my doctor. So the sadness kinda sunk in and I got dressed and hurried over to my doctors office to explain what I needed. The receptionist put all the info into the computer and where it needed to be faxed to. So I called this morning to the clinic hoping something might be there but of course nothing was there The lady from the clinic was hoping by Friday it will be there, since they have put my application aside till then. I just feel so let down, like this is never going to happen for me, at least my fiance has one step in the door and already is considered a patient there. I guess this is how it always goes for me. I'll update as soon as I know more.

So the hubby called the weight loss clinic to see if they got his paperwork, they did & amazingly enough he has an appt. the end of this month with the surgeon, so jealous, but I'm proud of him, specially knowing he will be my rock to guide me when it's my turn, just waiting on my doctor to send the letter of recommendation to the clinic and the insurance to accept the refferal so I can get my first appt. with the surgeon. I guess it's just a waiting game. Wish my insurance was as easy as his lol. But anyways, super nice weather this week so planning on spending the week as much as possible outside with the lil man, our main goal is to keep him active and fit so he won't grow up with the weight problems like we did. Well till next time

Well I went to my doctors today for my referral for insurance, at first I was real nervous, wasn't sure what she would have to say really. Surprisingly it went real well ! My doctor was all for the surgery, she said she was going to write the letter of recommendation for the surgeons & insurance! I am so overly thrilled another hurdle just passed! But she does want me to go see a neurologist since I have history of seizures. I'm hoping this doesn't effect me any I'm sure I'm just over worrying myself, but that's just me. Hoping this week coming up I hear something back for my sleep apnea study, still waiting on the referral, I have no idea what's taking so long ughhh! Till next post

I'm overly excited right now! I called the bariatric clinic this morning, and they received my paper work. They also said my doctor was really good on getting the referral for the insurance so I can get my first appointment. So it made me feel 100% better than I was feeling, since I was so nervous on the fact my GP wanted to see me before she did the referral. Now if I can just get my doctor's office to go a little faster on processing the referral for my sleep study, hopefully by the end of the week it will be there so I can get that done as well.
