Its Monday morning and Kerri has reminded me that we have only 37 days till our pre-op. Today I have added a pictrue to my page of me 10 years ago.  this picture is my inspriration of where I want to be.  I think I weighed somewhere between 175 and 180 in this pic.  I know its possible to get to this weight and I will be there.

This waiting has been really hard on me.  I bought the book "weightloss surgery for dummies" this weekend.  I have researched this so much over the last year that its not telling me anything I don't know. 

Love to everyone reading this.

Well, the first holiday is over one more to get through before pre-op.  Time is going by so slow.  But my friend Kerri here on OH keeps me busy.  I'm so happy to have such a good friend.  We are so alike!

I'm trying to lose 20 pounds before pre-op.  I dought its possible but I can try.  

The Halloween candy floating around my house is floating its way into my mouth far to many times.    I'm trying my best not to eat to much or gain weight before surgery.  

I have a month and a half before pre-op.  I hate waiting.

So this morning I spent my time on the phone with the insurance co. because its re-enrollment time with my husbands job insurance.  The insurance companies do an excellent job at confusing me with co-pays and deductibles and out of network doctors and so on and so on.  So i am trying to figure out how much out of pocket I am going to spend.  So even with insurance I am probably going to be out about over 2500 dollars.  So my question is " Whats the point of having insurance "  So I guess I will be completely broke all of next year.

How depressing!

51 days till pre-op

Ughhhhh.......So i'm sitting at my desk eating a Kit Kat and a co-worker comes to my desk to ask a question and he looks down at the Kit Kat and gives me that discouraging look.......You know that look!  That look that says "You poor Fat girl...you know you shouldn't be eating that".  I wanted to ring his neck!!!!!!!!

I just think that when I lose the weight they will really scrutunize every thing I eat.

I don't know how to battle this and it scares me.  It scares me that when I do have surgery, if people don't see the weight come off fast they will talk about me.  Why am I so worried about what other people think.

I just want to be normal. 

This morning I stepped on the scale and gained 10 lbs.  I have really gotten carried away lateley.  I need to get a handle of myself.  Today I plan to go back to my HMR shakes to shed the weight.  I hate that stuff.

I don't want to be higher than my highest weight when I have the surgery.  I wanna be a little bit healthier because I don't want any complications.

58 days till preop appt.

I am addicted to this website.  I have so many new friends and now have waiting buddys .   I love this place!

This morning I got my call from Nancy the nurse for Dr. De La Torre.  She called saying December 12th is my day for the infosession and surgery will probably be in January.  I will be meeting with the doctor that day and doing all of my blood work.  I'm so excited .  Its starting to feel very real!!!

But now I wait......two months! So i'm trying to see the bright side of this....I will be able to eat and enjoy the holidays before the start of the hard work of losing weight.

Life is good and I am blessed!

I forgot to add that last friday, October 5th, I called the insurance co and they said my surgery was approved.

I AM ON MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!

I got the nicest call from my insurance co today.  A nurse representing the co called to see if I had any questions about the surgery and to let me know that they will offer support and dieticians are on hand for me 24 hours. How sweet is that !!!!!!

I am enjoying reading everyones profiles.  I hope to be on the losing side soon.

I am currently waiting for the nurse from Depaul Weight loss center to call me back with the date of my info surgery session.  I am being impatient.
I hate waiting .
