just to let everyone know, today is friday and I havent done any exercise since sunday, except for mowing my yard on yesterday. I am not happy about that, and will begin again this evening or tomorrow with exercising again. Enough with that, My sister and I are planning a surprise birthday party for my moms' 60th birthday. It is Oct. 10 which is a week before my surgery, so I know that I won't be able to enjoy any of the food because I wil be on my liquid diet at that time, but it is worth it to see the Big Suprise on her face. We have hired an event planner to make sure it is the most beautiful, sophisticated party she has ever attended. She has never had a big birthday party celebration and she does so much for my sister and I and my daughters.
I havent been told yes or no about the job interview that I went to about 3 weeks ago but I know God has it all under his control, I just need to keep my nose out of and let him work it out. I just would like to start way before my surgery so it wont interupt my time off from surgery.
I will keep ya informed.
until next time
My Surgery Date has been Rescheduled
Jul 30, 2008
5:07pm
Got a call from Sherry, RN from my surgeon's office, my surgery has been resched. from 10/14 to 10/21, which is exactly 1 week later. Due to surgeon's schedule. I don't mind, gives me a little more time to get myself prepared.
So I've got a new date, I have continued with my exercising and water. I tried a protein mix today. I bought 3 different sample packs by designer whey. The orange mango, double chocolate, and the pomegranate fruit. I had the orange mango at lunch it was good, I mixed it with water.
I have not weighted my self in a while, I'm curious to see if I have lost any thing. I will let ya know soon.
until next time

Well good news, folks. I have been exercising and eating better, and I went from 272 the first weeks in july to 265 now. I had told myself than that I wanted to get down to 260 before surgery and now I only have 5 more pounds to go, and my surgery is not till oct. So I have to set a new goal. Now I want to get down to 250 by surgery.
All is well with everything else
Until next time
I have a Surgery Date!!
Jul 22, 2008
9:00pm
Hello to everyone out there, I have a couple of things to talk about tonight.
I received my surgery date
. Well my surgery date is for Oct. 14th.which is the day after my 37th birthday.
I am very happy about that date, that gives me time to get myself prepared.I also have decided to switch from having the Lap Band surgery to the RNY. This was a hard decision to make, especially because I didnt want to have to take off very much time from work, but I decided that the RNY was the best choice for me and that was what my insurance had orginally approved me for anyway.
Also, I had my job interview today and it went very well, it looks very promising.
I went to the support group meeting at CMC-Mercy today, it was a little boring today, but the PA gave out alot of good info.
I am tired, I still have been getting up in the am and exercising, so I am going to try to get to bed by 10:00 or 10:30pm, which is unusual for me.
Until next time
CONTINUING TO EXERCISE/INFO SENT TO WRONG NURSE
Jul 21, 2008
9:52pm
Hello to everyone, Just to let ya know for a week now I have been exercising in the morning, and I am enjoying it. I get up early do my walking on the treadmill or outside and then get myself ready for work. I am not a morning exericiser but I thank God he is giving me the strength to do this. I work 7days a week and I am actually able to do it on the weekends as well. I pray that I have at least lost a pound or two
I will weigh in the am and let ya know. Well , here is the update on my surgery date, I was approved by my insurance on wed 7/9, I faxed the approval letter to dr.gersin's office on mon. 7/14 (after I had received it in the mail), and left messages with them all last week. Of course no one called me back. I did talk with the nurse tracey on today,she tells me that she has not received an email from the office insurance person lisa ,that I have been approved, she transferred me to lisa and lisa says oh! I sent it to the wrong nurse! and she will send it to the right nurse this time.Okay so I have been waiting over 1 week for nothing. And I work for the same company my doctors is owned by 
Oh well, life goes on, Maybe someone will call me tomorrow with a surgery date. I will call to make sure lisa sent my approval to the right nurse this time..... Its late, I can't stay on long, I just came from a bible study meeting at a friend of a friends house and I really enjoyed it. I have a big interview tomorrow for a live answer coordinator position, so i have to get myself prepared.until next time

Hello out there, had a good week, I have learned that I can actually get my butt up in the morning and exercise before I go to work. I have been hitting the treadmill every morning, taking my daughter to drivers ed and then going to work. I have been very busy. It has been a good thing, to keep my mind off Dr.Gersin's office not calling me yet for surgery date. I work for CHS and I put in for a transfer request yesterday and I was called today to come in for a interview on Tues!
I am very happy about that, more money yeah!!!!. I am trying to do better with my eating and chewing food better in preparation for the pre-surgery routine. I want to be below 260 before my surgery, that means I've got to lose 10lbs. I know I can do it. Special hello to my new friends of the site:softsensitivity, and alveta.until next time
Trying to Exercise
Jul 15, 2008
9:30pm
Hello Everyone out there, especially those who struggle sometimes with exercising on a regular basis. I was able to exercise on the treadmill last night for 30mins. I would have been off before then but, nicole (my 14yr.old) was on my elipictal machine and she challenged me that she could stay on longer than me. I try to exericise in the morning. But I cant seem to get my butt out of that bed
early enough to exericise before I go to work. I plan, key word, plan to get on it again tonight. Also hello to my new friends on this site;mstsbates, and geraldine b. I have enjoyed messages mstsbates, I am in the waiting game with ya girl. Uploaded some new pics today. Dont have a surgery date sched yet. hopefully they will call me tomorrow.gotta go, makayla (my 31/2year old)wants to get on the computer,
until next time

received approval letter in mail
Jul 12, 2008
7/12/08 10:52pm
hello to everyone out there, and special hello to my two new friends on this site ladydel and Deena P. Well, I received my approval letter in the mail from MedCost PPO today, I am very excited about this, however I find my self in somewhat of a position. When I went to see Dr.Gersin for my consult I told him that I wanted the Gastric Bypass, and then after research I decided to swich to Lap Band. When I went in to see the dietician I told her and she said she would make the change in my chart. Well, now I dont know if that was done because of what my approval letter says. I am still thankful for the approval letter and if need be I will have the Gastric Bypass, I wanted the lap band because of the quicker recovery time and less impact to my wonderful body organs. We will see what goes down. I feel that I need to weigh and take some pictures to upload, but I dont think I really want to see the scale numbers or the pictures, so I seem to keep putting it off. Maybe I will find enough strength to do it tomorrow. One day at a time.
A nice quote to share:Tough times never last, But Tough people Do!
Until next time
