So Im finally at a computer that I can download some pics and I just realize, after having gone through a gazillion n two pics....I have no full length pic..ugh. I only have pics of my face. I cant wait for the day that I'm not ashamed to take pics of all of me :)
So I've been on the phentermine for a wk now n have only lost maybe 2 or 3 lbs. My friend is also on it n has lost 8 :( See what I mean!? I cant even lose on a drug that makes me feel all speeded out with no appetite. I hardly eat anything n drink TONS of water. So frustrating....

Well, I went to my dietitian on Monday. It was pretty simple. I filled out papers, we talked a bit, she gave me a script for Phentermine, gave me a b12 injection and sent me on my marry way. I can go back every 2 wks for B12 or just check in every month. This Phentermine stuff is no joke. She gave me a full strength dose but I break in half because I feel like I'm on major speed when I take the whole thing. I've watched what I eat and have been doing a dance workout video with my boys. I've been on weight loss drugs before and I do fine...until I stop taking them. I continue to exercise and eat right but all I do is maintain my weight. So we will see what happens. I Am Lovin' the energy it gives me too. What single momma of 4 kiddos, ages 2-11, that works 12 1/2 hr nights, doesn't need a little extra energy!? haha So anyway, the 6-8mo diet documentation has begun!
So I was excited to start the diet stuff and get the whole process going, right!? Right. Then I got the call from the surgeons office....my insurance wont even give auth for the initial consultation :( Gosh darn AHCCCS, ugh. I started a new job just about 2 months ago so my insurance with them will be starting the end of August...Blue Cross Blue Shield. So now I have to wait and see if They will approve it. I guess once they do, it may be easier to get approved between the 2 of the insurances??? Idk, so frustrating. God, I pray this can happen for me. I want this SO bad. I want more than anything to be able to be healthy and have the energy I need to raise my babes...withOut medications like Phentermine! All I can do is pray. Gods got me

I went to a WLS seminar with Banner Health Systems on the 11th. That is where I plan to have the surgery. The seminar is mandatory to begin the process with them. It was held by the surgeon himself, and was very informative, talking about all the different types of WLS, general risks, what labs and test will be done....pretty much the basics. I completed my online New Patient paperwork, which will get me a call, hopefully soon, from the surgeons office to schedule an appt. So I get to hurry up and wait for That call lol. While I'm waiting tho, I start seeing my dietitian tomorrow to start the 3-6month "documented by physician" WL program ... Are we there yet! :)
