One Year
Aug 29, 2006
It is about this time last year that I went to my orientation class with Dr. Wallace and his staff. After that class it took me 6 mos to decided if WLS was right for me or not. I am happy with my decision. This morning I weighed in at 196, I have not weighed in at that weight in many many years. I haven't felt this good about myself in sooooooooo long. It feels good!!!
My Check UP
Aug 26, 2006
Had my check-up this week went GREAT!!! I lost 15# this month so they said I was on the upper end of the scale YAHOOOOOOOO!! I have increased my exercise to a daily routine. I have been getting at least 10 road miles on my bike a day. And have started weight training every other day!! So far I'm happy with everything that is going on with my body!!!

Thank you Apple Pie for doing the changes on my profile!!! I am doing good, not losing fast but steady. I need to increase my exercise and do it more regularly but I am just a work in process and will continue working on it!!!
Exercise... YeeHaaw
Aug 04, 2006
Can you say yeehaaw!!!! For the last 3 days I have ridden my bike 10 miles a day!!! I have found a safe place to ride so I don't have to worry about traffic and really enjoying it!!! I think I finally have gotten rid of my latest stall and started losing around a pound a day again. I still don't understand those pesty little buggers and I guess I wouldn't notice them so much if I didn't weigh myself so much butttttt that is easier said then done!!! Doing good with my liquids suck at my protein right now I'm just not eating to much of anything right now hopefully it is just a stage.
No Patience
Aug 02, 2006
Sorry it has been so long since I posted I don't know where the time flies too. It has been a very nice summer. I have been doing very good since surgery no problems to speak of, of course I'm not losing as fast as I would like, but as long as I'm losing I should be happy, as long as I have no problems. But you all know me NOOOOOOOOOOO patience!!!!! I can get all my liquids in with no problems. I try to get all protein in and on most days I do pretty good, I'm just at a stage where I just don't feel like eating.
Surgery Update
Jun 25, 2006
Sorry I have not written anything in here since my surgery!!! I just have gotten really upset with the OH message board that I wasn't going to post in here and just leave this alone but that wouldn't be fair. I just don't think I'll be spending to much time here way to negative for me. My surgery went great I went in at noon and was finally finished at around 5:00 pm had a very very large hiatial hernia they had to deal with, that is why it took a little longer. I was up and walking that night yet. Took pain meds only for sleeping not during the day. Went for leak test on the 16th in the morning and I was drinking and eating by lunch. I have yet to have any real problems besides not getting enough walking in I'm almost up to 1.5 miles but would like to get more. Other than that I get all my water and my protein in and have already lost 25# from my starting weight.
Reflexting
Jun 07, 2006
I have another pre-op appt. in the morning early so I took a night of vaction feels good not to have to go into work. As my surgery date comes closer and closer I find it hard to focus on anything but that. Getting a little nervous but very very anxious. I look back on my profile and all in all it hasn't been that long of a process. I guess people just have to realize that it takes time. And time moves at its own pace not ours. Don't know nothing really new just feeling very reflective. Thank-you to all who have sign my support page it is very much appreciated!!!

Jun 02, 2006

I have to get my house in order, get the things I'll need after surgery, get the things I need before surgery. Plus I work 3rd shift so I won't get to much sleep all in all well worth it!!!!!!!!!!
Approval and a Date
Jun 01, 2006
I have been approved by my insurance and I have a date of June 15!!! In my wildest dreams did I think they could get me in that fast!!! Can't wait can't wait can't wait.
Long ... Long ... Process
May 29, 2006
I'm still waiting to hear from my insurance. I can't hardly believe it's going into June and I still have no answers. Such a long long process. It makes me wonder how many people have fallen thru the cracks on their journey and didn't make it all the way to the other side.. It's to bad a person has to battle so, to have a chance at a life saving procedure.
