WOW Moments and Goal Reached

Aug 14, 2008

This has been a great couple of weeks... First I went to S&K Mens warehouse and bought two suits for what it would have cost me to buy one suit 7 months ago.  And now the WOW moments that had me near tears.  Anybody that knows me , knows I love to travel. Well I flew to Philly last week.  This was the first time I've flown since starting this journey.  I sat in the seat for a moment because I was afraid I was going to have to ask for an extension belt, but as I extended the belt it went all the way across me with room to spare....OMG IT FIT......   So I decided to push my luck and "TRY ON THE BATHROOM",  You can't imaging how good I felt when I walk into the bathroom and didn't have to suck it in, or get someone to help push me in...LOL  Now if we can make the door a little taller.  By the way Im still stalling but my clothes sizes are still falling.

Half Way

Apr 26, 2008

Well nothing much to talk about, same ole same ole.  I did reach my half way point, 100 down 99 to go.  I was getting concerned because my weight loss had stopped/stalled, but it seem to be moving again.

I just figured out how to turn this feature on.

Ten weeks out.  Ive had a couple of wow moments, first off 400 no more.  I'm down 88 lbs.  My A1C went from 8.5 to 6.2.  My blood pressure is normal.  I went to the movies and was able to sit in the chair without lifting the arm rest.  I had two suits "my size" and the "littler suit" lol, and now both of them are too big. More to come.

Home From The Hospital

Jan 11, 2008

Well Im home after spending two days in the hospital.  The surgery went well.  The pain wasn't too bad(GREAT DRUGS).  I think the worst pain was when I first woke up after the surgery and when I tried to clear my throat.   I was in recovery from 12:00pm until about 5:30pm.  I was up and walking two hours after they got me in my room.  I just know I'm going to get tried of soup and jello.

Got A Date

Dec 17, 2007

I went in yesterday to talk with Dr. Farrell,  He gave me the green light, so we set a date January 9, 2008.  I wish it could have been sooner but in due time.  I guess now I need to take this time to get my affairs in order.

First Step To A New Me

Sep 24, 2007

Not really the first step, because at this point I've done just about all that I can do(still need to loose some more weight.).  I went in today to talk with the doctor and nurse.  I was told that everything looks good, and they were going to send my paperwork to my insurance company.  I hope to hear something soon.
