April 21, 09 - 3 days short of 2 months
Apr 21, 2009
Just a small post since I hit my 1st goal this morning. When I got on the scale, to my surprise I had entered Onederland!!!! 199.2 Hip Hip Hooray! I was so excited! I weighed myself 15x just to make sure it wasn't a mistake! I wake up every morning so happy and grateful that I was fortunate enough to have VSG. I feel like everyday I take a little more of my life back, what a amazing situation. Three months ago I was miserable because of the abuse and neglect I had put upon my body, and I really thought there was no way out. Thank G-d some one told me about Dr Li, who gave me the tool to change my life, so I gladly took the tool and I am RUNNING with it!!! So for anyone who is reading this, and feels there is no hope, There is!! You don't have to live in misery, reach out to a friend, family, or anyone on the OH site.

MONTH APPT (5 WEEKS OUT)
Apr 02, 2009
Today I went for my month appt, which is really 5 weeks, and I am doing great. I've lost 40.5 lbs and I moved up to obese instead of extremely obese. my BMI is 38, and when I lose another 44lbs I will move right in to the overweight group!! HOORAY!! I am still having a hard time with foods that aren't really soft. I do real well with soups, California roll, pasta, egg salad and tuna. I guess I am going to be one of those people who can't deal with red meat and chicken for a while. I finally am enjoying my water again, I just started to be able to drink plain water last week, a lot of people have that problem. Well, I am off to a good start, and I am so thankful everyday that I decided to take the leap and become a bariatric patient. I have met the nicest, sweetest and most caring people, while I have been on the WLS journey. If anyone asks, I would do it over, and over, and over again.

I am so ready.......
Feb 22, 2009
Well, I got my date for VSG, February 24, 2009. I can't believe it! I am excited and nervous at the same time. I don't know why, but I think as time goes on, I will be getting more nervous and less excited, just a hunch! I am sooo ready to be able to live a life without fear. Getting a seat on a plane, going on a amusement ride, Any water activity, a outfit for a formal affair etc. I think you get the point. It's really annoying when you go to the Dr's office, and he/she tells you what the problem is, but it always comes back to losing weight, the same answer for a hang nail or pneumonia! Go figure! I know that everyone reading this can relate, and I know you get just as annoyed as I do! It is almost like being over weight is the answer for EVERYTHING! I just know having WLS is the solution for me, I am ready, and the date is close. I can't wait to regain good health for my body, and peace in my soul. :)
