I have reached my first personal goal weight of 250#, it has been 3 1/2 months since surgery. I am very happy with the way things are going. I had to stop coming on OH everyday and seeing other people losing weight faster than me, I know its not a compition or a race but it made me feel like I was doing something wrong. So Here I am reporting in!! Down from a size 24/22 to a loose 14!!

Oh life is normal again!!! I can eat normal food, very small amounts but at least it is food! I have energy, I dont look for the closest parking space when I go somewhere, I am happier, things are so much better! I am so glad I am past that first month because it took such an emotional toll on me I didnt think I was going to make it. At times I felt like I needed to be committed because I was so unhappy. I am so much better, all of those feelings went away after about 2 and a half weeks when I started to eat baby food. I skipped ahead a little bit from what I was told to do but I couldnt stand it any longer. I did just fine. I am not recommending that people go against their doctors orders but I had to because I was loosing my mind. Anyway, I feel good, I just want the scale to start moving again!!

Well its been one week since surgery I have lost 7ls since last Moday morning. I am starting to feel better, I have been taking my anti-nausea pills every morning and night and that helps a whole lot because I was getting so much air bubbles and stuff b4. Pain is pretty much non exsistant except I do get a little sore towards the end of the day. Waiting to find out when my follow up appt is going to be since they have to over book me or have a cancellation. I am really wanting to start pureed foods but according to my doctors plan I cant until week three!!

Well I went and saw my surgeon yesterday for a follow up to get a chest xray and more labs done and he says my chest xray was great and I am good for monday, he said he would call if my blood work came back bad but since I was on the antibiotics he said it should be fine. I am not going to be excited until they are actually wheeling me in to the operating room this time! Its funny I was so stressed out last week waiting to have the surgery and then it was cancelled, now this week I am calm as can be even tho its set for monday. I dont get it but I am not gunna worry about it. I guess I am just more ready now than I was last week! Cant wait for Monday, they better not cance it again or I will be mad!!
FINGERS CROSSED!

I showed up for surgery at 5:30am today, no sleep because I was to nervous, starving because I couldnt eat anything, and then they tell me I cant have surgery because my white count is high and I might be fighting off an infection or broncitis so I have to reschedule. So I have to go see my surgeon on Friday to get a chest xray and to have my blood done again and if all is good I will have surgery on monday. How in the hell am I going to make it through another week like this past one. This was one of the hardest weeks of my life and now I have to do it all over again and take antibiotics and have even more anxiety that I wont be well enough for Mondays surgery. I cant believe this is happening to me!

Ok well this isnt to terrible, the protein powder is thicker than I was expecting so that will take a little getting used to. I am wondering if the unflavored is just as thick because I was hoping to be able to mix it with my crystal light after surgery for that first week!???!!

I got approved with my first appeal letter and now have a surgery date set for August 9th, im so excited I cant wait but at the same time I feel overwhelmed with all that I have to do to get ready for it and only two weeks to do it all!

Well I am going to the appointments that I am supposed to and waiting to find out if I can have the VSG. I am really hoping for this procedure because I dont want to have the RNY! I have to get down to 296 before I can have surgery so I am working on that currently.
