Well, its been awhile since I last left a post, so here goes. I went to my second appointment with the nutritionist, down another 2 pounds, and this even after I was on a steriod pack for an allergic reaction. I get frustrated and impatient waiting to find out if I am going to get approved by my insurance. I want the new me so bad I can taste it, I know it is all going to be a long road but atleast I know after the surgery I will actually be on a positive path to getting to where I want to be as far as my weight goals.  So I am wondering if anyone can shed some light for me. I have medicare for my insurance and I was wondering how long it normally takes for medicare to approve surgery.??? The wait to have the surgery is probably the worst, I don't mind going to the nutritionist and getting updates and setting goals, I am having no problem meeting what goals I have set for myself, just the waiting game gets to me some days. This is one of those days...

As the weeks go by I find I am eating healthier, and not dening my sweet tooth from time to time either. I make myself low fat deserts that taste great and allow me to induldge in my sweet tooth from time to time. i am still progressively losing weight as wanted by my nutritionist and the doctor, now to add a little excersize into the picture, just taking things one day at a time for a better me!!!

I went to my family doctor today, on the 18th of Feb. I saw Dr. Lalor and weighed 287.6 lbs, in todays visit with my family doctor I was down to 280.5, this was a very good feeling. Knowing I am able to lose it without the surgery, makes me have high hopes for after having the surgery.

Well, I am just getting started with this journey. I had my first appt. with the nutritionist and Dr. Lalor on the 18th of Feburary. According to their messurements, I weigh 287 and I am 5'4, and I will find out how I am doing nutritional wise on the 14th of March. There is a lot to be done before I move any closer to having the surgery done. My family is fearing the worst outcome if I have the surgery, but I need to do something, I want to see my grand daughter grow up and be there for her and my daughter. I have not always been this way, I was once the skinny girl or some would say,I was an athlete in high school and my early teenage years, even in my 20's I was at my ideal weight. But, the years have not been kind to my body, and my health has been hit or miss since I was 25, taking all different types of meds, just made me gain and gain weight uncontrolably. It's a stuggle everyday, and no one seems to understand the frustration I go through or the difficulties I face. It's hard but I am doing this for me and not anyone else, I want a better life for myself. I don't think this is too much to ask!
