Guess what!! I think it may be happenin, I went to an appointment with my pain management doc and they wieghed me....257!!! Yes I am very exited about 6 lbs. I am hopein that means that it is gonna start comin off. I keep sayin tho that I will not give up!!!

Well, stopped at dr. office this morning and their scale says I am down 4 1/2 lbs. That is such crap, it has been 1 month and two days of eating like a bird. 875 - 1150 calories. Walking like a mad women, to the point of my legs almost giving out on me. I am not going to give up but it sure is p&**&^$ me off!!  5-9-08

    So, here I am checking out the sites at work (shhh, dont tell)  Still doing my diet, doing ok if I do say so myself. But I am now reminded why diets never work: because you get discouraged that the scale does not move!!  I have been on this diet and excersize routine for almost a month and one scale says I am down four lbs. and the other says six. I sure hope it is the six!!! Let me tell you, my legs are killing me. It has either gotten a little easier or I am just getting used to the pain as I do more excersize??? I am not sure, but I do know that I am not giving up. I have a little bowl of veggies staring at me for snack time.  Getting between 990- 1100 calories a day. And burning with excersize right around 1200 cals. So why o why am I not losing faster????!!!!!!???

  Ok, had my appointment with the psych and the nutritionist. The Psych was pretty neat and talked about mental issues having wls, the test was completly rediculous and boring but I guess I passed! Now on to the most rediculous part.
  The nutritionist visit, to me, was not worth my while! Instead of going over what to expect to be eating or not eating, she pretty much just asked almost the same questions as the Psych. She had no lists, no information for me whatsoever! I sure hope any other visits I have with her are more informational!! I also hope they call me to make my appointment soon!!  
  WOW!! I called to speak with insurance coordinator ( Vanessa) when I started this blog, and she called me back just before I finished it! Nice! I am thinking two weeks tops and I should have a date!!

4-27-08 Here I am in Denver again for my appointments with the Psych and Nut and the battery of blood tests, abdominal x-rays, breathing whatevers and nicotene test. I think thats about everything but I havent gone over my orders and such tonight. I will go over that before I go to bed. Anyway, the hospitality house here is great just like a little apartment. Very cute. The roads were dry and it was very nice coming over the mountain which made for a good drive, if only there werent soo many dumb drivers out there it would have been a great drive.

4-26-08 Just wondering, Does anyone really read these blogs??

Ok, so I have still been very good with my diet and exercise. As you know four days ago I wieghed myself after two weeks of rough dieting and exercising and I had gained a pound! Well I have not weighed myself since then but I will when I go to my phsyc and Nut appointment on Monday. I sure hope the scale has moved cuz that is usually when a diet is broken if the scale has not moved. I need the scale to have moved so I can validate the pain in my legs that I have been causing myself. As long as I am able to have WLS and be able to use this tool it will all be worth it.

  I have been soo good at watching what I have been eating and exercising, I had decided to weigh myself every ten days at my regular docs office so I went to weigh today and guess what??? I HAVE GAINED A POUND!!! Explain to me that one. I am sick to my stomach thinking about all of my hard work in the last 12 days. I cant believe this. My buddy at work told me not to worry, because you will get different readings on different scales. Well I dont buy that because I was weighed on that same scale three weeks ago and I have GAINED A POUND!  HOW AM I EVER GONNA LOSE THE 13 POUNDS??!!??!!??!!

My feet and my legs are killing me but I am up to half an hour walks with my dog every evening! I am trying to ignore some of the pain and taking alot of pain reliever for one reason; I have to have this surgery and the thirteen pounds they say I have to lose has got me in a frenzy because I do not lose wieght easy at all. Last time I lost wieght I actually had to stop eating all together, nothing but liquid for six months. Lost sixty pounds but it only took two months for it to come back. I am doin alot of prayin!!  

 Well I called the last cardio man on my list and the scheduler says "Well I guess we can get you in but it wont be until such and such" I Just said 'Well I guess you can put me in that slot and I guess I will call you if I find someone else.' So I think it is best if I make my appointment with the cardiologist in my own surgeons med center because I have the feeling that with the attitude I received from this person that they will give me nothing but trouble!!!
