It has been a while since my last update. I have lost a total of 67 lbs in 4 months. I am in size13/14 jeans large tops. (down from size 20 and 2x tops) everything is going well. I am happy with my progress. Everybody keeps telling me how small I look and how  good I look. It feels really good.I always had high self esteem but it is even higher now. I am so glad I had the surgery it has definitely been life changing.

Well I know it has been a while since my last update. Thing have been so crazy lately. I have lost 43lbs in 8 weeks since my surgery. Before surgery I was 288 lb I am now 245 lbs.I have started to exercise more. I lift weights, walk 2.5 miles 3-4 days a week. Eatting is going well. I hope that I can lose another 10 lbs at least in the next couple weeks. I am trying to set realistic goals. So I dont get disappointed if it doesnt happen the way I want. I am trying to take baby steps. This is certainly a journey filled with many ups and downs hopefully there will be plently of ups.

Well, I did it my surgery was on Monday.  I got home on Wednesday afternoon. surgery was uneventful still sore for obvious reasons. I had no idea that I would be so full of gas. That was the worse part for me. I havent really needed to take my pain meds. I just wish I had something to take for the gas. I have been walking alot, to help relieve the gas pain it has been helping but I want it all out now. All I remember about surgery is getting the iv feeling woosey then waking up in recovery. WOW those were some powerful drugs.

Sisters Hospital called the other day to schedule my pre-op testing which will be on June 23rd. I got all the surgery instructions in the mail on Friday. Medical clearance appointment on June 25th. I have so much to do before surgery I know its going to come so fast. I'm just trying to get things ready. My husband told the job he needed some time off work to be there for me. I think he's getting scared now. He keeps asking am I sure I want to do this.I am absolutely sure about this. He has been wonderful taking off to go to consultation with me He's coming with me to the exercise and nutrition class. He missed the support group meeting last time because he had the kids but he's suppose to come with me next week. My mom will keep the kids so we can go together. I must say I am truely blessed to have such a wonderful supportive family.

Finally  I have my date for surgery June 30th@ 8:30 am. I was so excited when she gave me my date. only 4 weeks til I join the losing side. I cant wait.

I'm still waiting for my surgery date. Its so nerve wrecking. One of the girls I work with had her consultation the same day as me on April 24 and she already has her date. They said they would contact by may 29 which is   this Thursday, I heard they only call on Friday but either way I should get my date this week. I am so anxious.
