Well, today is my 6months months mark. I feel so good and loving what I look like. My kids love that I can play with them. I'm down to 163.4 and almost to my weight goal. I did do what I wanted to do and they was weigh less then my husband. I'm 5lbs less and still going. He keeps picking me up and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I will say that I can eat just about anything, but Ice cream. I'm ok with that since that was what I needed. Now, if i can just get a salad down I will be happy. I was told that might take up to a year to do. If you are thinking about having this surgery or any weight loss surgery do so. The hard work will pay off and I'm proof to that. Worth every step of the way!!!

I had my surgery on Nov. the 11th at 9:30am. When I woke up I was in so much pain, but now I'm 5 days out and doing well. I wish I could eat something besides jello or broth, but soon I can add to this diet. I keep telling myself that in 3 weeks I can eat food, food and I know it will be in small portions, but it will be better then the liquid diet. My husband and kids are eating all the good food in front of me and I wish I could just through it all out. Thanksgiving is going to suck since I cannot eat any of the good food. Even Christmas is going to suck without enjoying a good cookie. I keep telling myself if I can get through the holidays then I will be a strong new women. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

I had my 1st meeting with the new Dr. I cannot wait to get everything going. We are waiting on the insurance to approve the surgery then 10 days of a clear liquid diet. I hope everything moves through fast so I can have my surgery before my husband leaves. The deployment date is now Sept. the 13th and I hope they stop pushing it forward.

Well, I found out some bad news in June. My surgeon was no longer going to be apart of the weight loss program I was in. That means I was going to not have the surgery when I wanted to. Not bad, but my husband was going to deploy in June and asked to deploy later due to my surgery. Now he will be deploying Sept the 16th and still no surgery date set. I have my 1st consultation with a new surgeon 2 and a half hours away on July 21st. I have done all the requirements for my insurance company, so I hope he will allow it all and get a surgery date. I'm getting nervous since I was told that it will take two weeks to approve the surgery and then I will have to head back up to Topeka to have my last consultation before my surgery. I'm thinking about starting my protein diet now so that once the insurance approves the surgery I can have it within a week. I will have to see if the Dr. will allow that. If I can't have surgery till the end of August or Sept. I will not be able to have it till my husband comes home. I really don't want to wait since I'm so close, but looks like that might happen. I have a child not walking who is 26lbs ( very lazy child) and have no one to help me take care of both my kids while I recover. That is why I cannot do it while he is gone. My mother said she could take off one week, but that is all she can do.
I'm hoping this will work, but so scared that my 3yr wait will have to wait another year and start all over on what I have done. I guess it's time to start praying. So if you pray to god, please add me to your prayers.
