Goal Rewards

Feb 06, 2010

I have been thinking about what i wanted as a reward when i reach my goal. And i know alot of us girls want to look fabulous in a wedding dress or at least get the long awaited purposal..well i want that but I think those should happen when it is meant to. I dont want to feel like "oh ya want to marry me now that im not fat" lol  So... my friends know im kinda wild..and i love motorcycles..and especially a sexxy man on one..(sorry my mind was wandering away)

BUT...ALAS THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DECIDED WILL BE MY GOAL REWARD TO MYSELF

COME MONDAY....

Feb 04, 2010

YUP IT'LL BE ALRIGHT!!! LOL
I went to see my surgeon for a final pre-op visit today. I had to take my mom with me and he just
wanted to see if i had any questions..said my labs and EKG all look good from Tuesday. he listened to my heart and palpated my abdomen...put his arm around me and told my mom he is gonna take good care of me!

Short and sweet...
So guess what i will be doing on Super Bowl Sunday....yeah you know! The most glorious part...the prep for surgery
I don't care how nasty the junk is i have to drink...it is all worth it!!!

SMALL MILESTONE....

Feb 01, 2010

Tomorrow is the big day for my Pre-Testing!!! Ha ha...I talked to the hospital today and i have to be
registered @ 4. Finally feels like my surgery is going to happen!
I quit caffeine last week so i have been kinda evil..i know you would never believe that right???
Sad to say but it is true!! Hope the headaches stop soon but i know i have to get use to it sometime so it might as well be now.
This time next Monday i will be in my hospital room or walking down a hallway...LOL
Thanks for tolerating me!

Jan 25, 2010

So today was the dreaded 4 hrs of brain washing crap....I mean the educational requirements for my surgery!! LOL
I know for sure one thing i got out of this--i have to remember to deduct that $165 from my account!!! What a waste of money...but i guess thats cheaper than paying for the surgery right??!!!

So now lets wait to see how long it takes the doctor's office to call me for that WONDERFUL visit where i get my date!! I give them until thursday then im harrassing them!!

I HAVE CHANGED....???

Jan 22, 2010

Tonight i was talkn with a friend that made the comment that i seem "different".  Now this is a supportive person of my surgery and knows every step i take toward making this dream reality. I kept asking how it is that im acting or what on earth seems to have changed...finally they asked me if i have a new love in my life??!!
I said yes...IT IS ME! IM IN LOVE WITH MYSELF!! It has been a very long time since i put myself first and after much heartache and disappointment i have decided that if i dont start to love myself and treat myself the way i deserve..then im probably going to be one old, sad, miserable lady!! All alone for eternity cuz no one wants to be around me. I tend to look to those close to me (especially my man) for that love and comfort but it just isnt there. So i know it starts here.......  IM GONNA LOVE ME.. DONT'T CARE IF ANYONE ELSE EVER DOES!!

 if by any chance you dont know how freakn excited I am that Monday is Jan 25th..let me tell you--- I AM GOING TO HAVE MY 4 HOUR APPOINTMENT--FIRST I MEET THE BARIATRIC COORDINATOR AT THE LIFESTYLE CENTER FOR AN HOUR. THEN I MEET WITH THE DIETICIAN FOR THE NUT EVAL, THEN I MEET THE PSYCHOLOGIST (THIS ONE IM WORRIED ABOUT..HA!FCKN HA!), THEN LAST I MEET WITH A FITNESS GOO-ROO.
ONCE MY PAPERWORK IS SENT BACK TO DR RUTLEDGE ALL IM WAITING FOR IS A SURGERY DATE!!!!!
So what am i doing this weekend?? Filling out the 100 pages of crap...as if we havent seen enough of this already..oh and dont forget the $162 i have to pay to spend the day with strangers picking my brain to see how bad i really want this...LOL 
HOW MUCH LONGER COULD THEY TORTURE ME....I JUST WANT TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE....PLEEEZZZZZZZ!

Hurry up & Wait.....

Jan 11, 2010

jan 14th
I forgot to update ya..the Lifestyle center did call to change my appt..its a whole one day sooner! YIPPPEEEE So im now scheduled to go on the 25th. l

jan 11th
..that's what i think the name of this game is!!  I should be excited to be one step closer to my surgery but I'm really disappointed. I never heard back about my day of evaluations so I called the doctor's office today. They have just been so overwhelmed that they hadn't got to me yet. But my referral was faxed today and then i called the Lifestyle Center to schedule my appt. Since their dietitian is off w/ her mother...the first available is Jan 26th. I wanted to do this either this week or next in hopes i cud still have surgery by the end of this month.
Thanks for raining on my parade!!! So now it looks like it will be Feb. But my boss is going on vacation the week of Feb 15th and i cannot be gone. I will have to have surgery by the first of feb in order to return before he goes on vacation. I have felt pure desperation to get this done before he is gone so i don't have to wait until he returns to take off work. I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT ANOTHER FREAKING MONTH!!!!
So i vented...no i do not feel better but least i can bit$h sumwhere!!  I do know all these things are beyond my control and obviously we do not live in a perfect world. (or i wouldnt need surgery right??)

OHHH HAPPY DAY!!!!!

Jan 04, 2010

OK....so i suffered thru the two month wait and today I FINALLY WENT FOR MY CONSULT WITH DR RUTLEDGE!!! It was really much more simple than i had imagined. He said they will be sending over a referral to the Lifestyle Center for my Nutrition/psych evaluations and once i have done that then i go back to see him. Hopefully by the time i am finished w/ the evals then they will have heard back from my insurance. He told me not to gain any weight..but if i wanted to i cud lose 5lbs LOL  He said it looks like i should have surgery within a month. hip hip hooray!!! I'm so damn excited!!!!  so now i wait for my next step....to see if I'm a mental case and have the sense to know what to eat...lol i hope i can get the evaluations done next week!!! just have to wait for them to call me tho...i shall keep you posted!!!
