I am just trying to find out as much information regarding post op. I have completed all my requirements to have the surgery and I am waiting for the surgeon to receive all the results back. I just attended a group meeting on Friday and need to have my 1 on 1 consultation with my doctor. Dr. Waldrep is a very nice man and has a great sense of humor. You couldn't ask for a doctor with a better sense of humor. He has done 530 surgeries and I am very confident in him. Thank you and hope to have good news in about 2-3 weeks.
07/05/03 - On 07/03/03 I got the great news. I was approved for surgery in just 1 day!!! I am so excited. i weigh 285 lbs.at doctors office, 275 on my scale at home.
10/04/03 - It's been quite a while since I last wrote. I had my surgery on 08/04/03. Everything went great and I am down 36 lbs. I still get tired and I get food stuck about once a week, but other than that things have been pretty good.
02/07/04 - I am now down 75 lbs but the weight is coming off slow, very slow. I no longer get food stuck. I am very happy for that. I now weigh 200, but still have 80 lbs to go!
02/29/04 - I have lost another 5 lbs, but am not thrilled of the fact that all my time and effort went down the drain. I had wrote several notes and documented stuff about my surgery but since my computer's hard drive was messed up, my hubby put in a new one and now all the information is gone. I will just have to continue from now on documenting information and I am going to try and remember some of the stuff as well. It's great to document before and after your surgery, because you can forget some things. Well I hope I have a better weight loss next month than I did this month.
03/26/04 - I have dropped another 10 lbs and now weigh 185. This month has been good for weight loss. I am happy. I will keep trying to lose more. I really want to get down to a 120 lbs.
05/20/04 - It's been a while since I wrote. I am on a huge plateau. I have only lost 2 lbs. Wow 2 lbs. I think my body has stopped losing weight. I have increased my exercise to. I hope this isn't the end of the road for me. I still have a lot to lose.
06/09/04 - I am now down to 180. I lost another 3 lbs. It's coming off slow, but at least it's still coming off. Still a long ways to go.
07/30/04 - I am now at 175. Wow. It is really going slow. I hope I reach my goal.
08/29/04 - Only lost about 3 lbs. Now down to 172. Still trying to lose. I won't give up though.
02/28/05 - Well, still losing but very very slowly. Now down to 162 lbs. I still have 42 lbs to go. Maybe I can get there before my 2nd anniversary. :)
05/27/05 - Down to 160 but I really have stopped losing weight. I don't think I am going to make my anniversary goal. But will continue to try.
04/15/07 – It’s been a few years since I wrote this. I really love this site. I wished I used it more often. I am now down to 145 lbs. 3 weeks ago from tomorrow, I went on the Atkins diet and after the first week and a half didn’t lose anything. The scale dropped and I lost 10 lbs. My goal is to lose 35 more lbs instead of 25 lbs but at this rate, maybe 25 would be more realistic.
08/05/07 - Day after my anniversary of 4 years and now weigh 138 lbs. Yeahh I lost some more. I am now doing the Michal Therman diet. I actually want to lose 30 more lbs I have decided. I am really anxious to lose this weight. I need a tummy tuck and liposuction really bad. I can't afford to have it though. :( That would take care of at least 12 lbs or maybe a little more.
05/23/09 - Wow it's really bean awhile since I wrote. O.k. so now I have to say looking at my weight compared to 08/07, not doing well. I will say I was really at 148 I believe because my scale was broken. So the true weight was 148, but still even at that today I weighed 161. That's terrible I feel awful. This is not good Sounds like I need to go back to the Atkins or some other diet. This makes me depressed writing this. I feel like a real blob today. Really really fat.
