It's saturday night, and I had a fun filed day, shopping with my mom.  We went to Lane Bryant and bought some panties, and I got a Pajama Shirt so I don't have to try and wear pants after surgery.  We went to the illegal purse store and bought some knock of purses. Haha.  She bought two "Coach" bags and i bought a "Chanel" bag.  I love purses!!  Then we stopped by Old Navy and I got a few pair of flip flops, my favotire shoe of choice.  Our next stop was Baby's R US for my cousin Caleb.  His first birthday is tomorrow.  He has Down Syndrome, and has not developed as quickly as most babies his age, but we bought him alot of colorful,and fun toys to stimulate his little mind.  We finally came home and took a little nap, go firgure why I can't sleep.  Then my mom, my little brother and myself went swimming for a little while, and came back in to watch some TV.  Unfortunately for me, it's now 2:00am, and I am still watching TV.  I'm not sure why I can't go to sleep.  I love sleep, and usually after lying down, I'm out in 10 minutes.  I think I'm just really excited/nervous for my surgery.  I picked up my pain/nausea medicine for the big day.  Hopefully I can get some sleep soon.  I'm moving back to my parents tomrrow, then later that evening is Caleb's birthday party.

Hopefully the scale will go down tomorrow :)

Well, the scale did go down.  Not as much as I would have hoped, but it did.  It went from 351.8 to 351.2

I guess I need to kick it up on my exercise.
Any other suggestoins?
I was hoping to loose 6 more pounds by Sunday...But that seems very far fetched.


I bought a new camera last night.  It was really exspensive, but I thought I was worth it.

I'm moving back home today.  I've been living on my own for 8 months now, and with the surgery coming up, I don' think I can continue. I'm going to live back at home for about 6 months or until I get the swing of things, and then give this grown up thing another try.

So think morning I got on the scale and it said exactly the same thing as yesterday.  It was kind of disappointing, but at the sam time I know I didn't cheat and I did exercise. Maybe it will just take a day to catch up with me :]

WOO HOO

I started my official pre-op diet Friday, July 11th.  I have been doing Atkins.  That really works for me.  Carbs are my enemy.  I have lost 7.9lbs so far.  I'm so excited.  Imagine my weight loss when I can barely eat anything!! 
Not having sodas or hamburgers, or midnight ice cream has been hard, but I know soon enough those will all be things of the past and not even cross my mind.  I can't wait until food and my weight because of food doesnt control my life.  I want to control my life! 
I weigh my self every morning, which I know people say you shouldn't do that...but when you're on a diet and you know you are doing the right thing, by not cheating...getting on the scale is exciting.

I went to my Pre-Op appointment today, and they called my name and took me in to the room.... Pam, the lady who scheduled my surgery the day before came in, which made a light bulb go off in my head, because she's not a nurse.  She said that my surgery date will have to be moved back.  I was about to cry, because I thought she was going to tell me something horrible.  My surgery date is changed for July 25th.  Just 10 days after.  Pam told me that both surgeons need to be present for my surgery ( i still don't know the reasoning behind this) but Dr. Smith will be on vacation, and the only days they do surgery together is Friday. I'm kinda bummed, but I'm still happy I'm having surgery.

I called the surgery scheduler today, Pam, and she just basically asked me when I wanted to have surgery!  I told her I wanted surgery as soon as possible.  She said I have to be on atkins for two weeks, then I can have surgery.  I go tomorrow for my pre-op appointment, then July 15th, I will be on the operating table!!
Atkins sucks!  I have a head ache and I've been sleepy all day.  I know it will all be worth it in the end!!

After 6 months of documented weight loss (or lack there of), numerous doctors appointments and dreadful waiting, I received "the call".  I've been approved for Lap Band Surgery.  I will be getting a call this week to determine a surgery date.  As we speak I am eating a pint of Ice cream, all by myself and going to smoke a few cigarettes, before I say goodbye to it all tomorrow.
