What am I doing wrong?
Feb 12, 2012
OK . I decided to weigh myself every Sunday. So waking up this morning and after using the bathroom, I weighed myself and the scaled tipped at 341.9. When I first started it was 342 then within two weeks I dropped 2lbs. now I went up a pound....what am I doing wrong? I drink nothing but water. I eat smaller portion and mostly consist of fruits and veggies. If I do eat meat it is a small portion and it is baked. I am really struggling because not only am I on a low calorie diet, I am also on a very low sodium diet. So yes it is hard. I am not going to give up but I need answers. Oh did I mention that I walk ten minutes twice a day and increasing it every week by 5 minutes. The reason for this is i have two herniated disk, one slip disk and a pinch nerve on my back so its hard for any strenuous exercise. So bare within people please. thanks will talk to you soon.

So my journey begins......
Feb 05, 2012
January 24th I went to see Dr.collins once again. This time he recommended that I get the sleeve instead of the lapband. The next day I started calling and making my appointsment. On February 1st, I went to see my cardioligist. He wants me to get an echogradigram and I also have to lower my blood pressure it was pretty high. So, besides the medications I take now, I also now have to take water pills. After I left the cardioligist, I went and had my blood drawn. On the way home I had yet another appoinment for my sonogram, they check for fatty tissues around the liver and the gall bladder. I had to fast all day for these appoinments.
My next appointment is on valentines's day and thats for my echogradigram and to check my blood pressure. I am now on a low to no salt diet. So I hope my pressure is better on February 14. I also have another appoinment with Dr.Collins on March 6, and with my cardioligist on April 6.
I have yet to find someone to perform my endoscopic, when I do find one I will post that of course.
My feelings now are exciting, nerves and a little scared.

My journey
Jan 24, 2012
On May 12, 2009, my therapist suggested that I talk to my PCP about getting gastric bypass. My weight is one of the reason for my depression and it also has been a health problem for the past three years. Though I have had hypertension for over 20 years it has been control up until the weight gain. So today May 18, 2009 I went to see my PCP and she doesnt agree with the gastric bypass but would like for me to get the lap-band, so here I am, and yes I am very excited and looking forward to a new life......
