Almost done with classes

Oct 21, 2010

So we just finished week 9 of 12.  I can't believe how fast this is going.  I do have to make up one class this Friday, but still, these past few weeks have just been flying.  So we were told that we needed to start thinking of where we wanted to get our surgery.  At first, I had decided on San Diego, but now that I think about it, I would rather have it done locally because of the post op appointments and so on.  I called the other day and they said the wait time was roughly 2 to 3 months, could be shorter depending on how many refferals they got.  I can wait, it will give me some time to get my affairs in order.  We'll see.

First set of labs ordered and done

Sep 15, 2010

So at class last night they told us that our first set of labs had been ordered.  I went in this morning and got them done.  So far the results are coming in one by one and they seem to be normal.  The only two that were somewhat off were the AST and the ALT.  I'm thinking that it must the Vicodin I've been taking to control my back pain.  We'll see what the doctor says.
The thing that I am having trouble in is my food logs.  I'm good during the week, but come the weekend, I don't log my food in and then I try to remember what I ate and that gets hard.  I'm new to the food logs so it's going to get some getting used to.  And the exercise, I have to get more motivated to do more exercise or my surgery will not get done.  Learned some new ways of exercising that were really low impact and easy to do.  I will have to do my exercise at night since mornings are never good for me.  I guess I will hae to try and change that, but we'll see how that goes.

Time's flyin'

Sep 09, 2010

So we have finished week 3 of the program going on to #4 this Tuesday.  I knew time was going to fly by.  Next thing you know it will be the end of #12 class.  My husband still has issued about me getting the surgery.  Sometimes I wonder myself if I should do it.  Either way, I am goingto finish the program and see what comes out of it.  We are using food logs and that made me realize I'm eating the wrong stuff.  Duh! I mean it's obvious eating the wrong foods got me to where I'm at today, but I can see which foods and how much and what I should eat instead.  Seems pretty basic, but it's not at the same time.  When you're used to eating a certain way and trying to change habits are hard.  Slowly but surely it will happen.  And if I want to get this surgery, it has to happen.

Got my track!

Aug 04, 2010

So I went to my one on one session today and I got my track today.  That is the classes that I will be attending for 12 weeks before I get my surgery.  My husband is starting to have doubts now.  He's concerned because a fanily friend got the surgery and now she's all depressed and not the same person.  He's afraid that's going to happen to me, but I don't know who did her surefery or what happened to her.  I do know that my cousin got it done and he couldn't be happier.  So I will continue on to my classes which start on August 24th.  If all goes according to plan, I should get my surgery 18 weeks after.

So I have finally made up my mind..

Jul 12, 2010

I think it's about time I made up my mind on this.  I've been going back and forth about wls for a while now.  I should be getting my refferal from my doctor today so I can start going to the meetings at Kaiser Downey.  I went to the orientation last year but I chickened out.  Not this time. I'm ready. I ready to be pain free and look good again.  I'm too young to have all these health problems.  And I have two small boys that need their mom to be there.  I'll keep posting and keep this blog going to see how far I have come.
