Haven't been on this site for awhile.  Just wanted to post for anyone out there who still remembers me that I am 1 year out from my VSG surg.  Haven't lost all the weight I wanted to lose but I am below the Drs. expected weight.  I would personallly like to lose another 10 to 15 lbs.  and it is getting harder to do so.  I won't give up because I have come to far and even if I am not able to lose anymore I feel great.  Better than I have in a really long time.  It isn't an easey process that we are going through but soooo worth it.  For all you newbies hang in there.  This is the best site for moral support and general information from real people who are going through or have gone through this process.  Rock On!  Michele

Will not be joining  you all in group chat tommorrow night.  Will finally be having my VSG surgery.  Have a really good feeling about this.  Thanks for all the information and moral support you all have given me to this point.  Hope you all will still message me while I'm recouping.  Can't wait to be where you guys are on the losers bench.  When I figure out how to post pictures I will.

Thanks Again All, 

Michele

Just 3 more days on this liquid diet and then my surgery .  Went in for last pre op visit with Dr.  Didn't get any of the stuff I need for surgery, patches etc.  Will call tomorrow because surg is Monday to get the things I need.  Excited to start losing my extra pounds.  Can't wait to be on the losers bench.  Still trying to get pics of me on here but having problems.  Love looking at pics of all of you.  My OH Buddies.

As of yesterday I am 7 days done with my liquid diet.  I only have 7 more to go then on the 8th day my surgery.  I know it's common to have doubts and I am.  I am starting to mourn the loss of my food.  I love the taste of my food.  I'm not really a binge eater or stress eater I am just an eater because it tastes good.  I have felt better since eating better but I fear not ever having a taste of potato salad or bite of hot dog.  I want to enjoy the same as everyone else on a holiday and not be odd man out.  I have lost a total of 20 lbs. since January.  Only 6 lbs from 1 week on liquid diet.  I have had a positive addittude and I know I can overcome this feeling but I do worry about how slow my weight loss is.  I fear my body will fail me in losing the weight that I need to.  Just needed to vent a little and maybe a little support.

I made an appt. to see my surgeon as I had a few questions I needed to ask him.  My appt. was today.  Felt so good when I left.  Said to him I hadn't really done my homework when I saw him last time so that was why I was back today.  He answered all my questions and to my satisfaction uses the size bougie I wanted.  He paid me the best compliment.  He said I really had done my homework and was asking all really good questions.  Made feel proud of myself that I took matters into my own hands.

Thanks for listening,

Michele

I know my surgery isn't until June 6th but  my liquid diet starts May 23rd.  I went and bought some protein shakes and ordered others (that I have tasted).  Bought lots of fat free broth, sf popsicles, jello and even cream of wheat (which I might need to have if the hungrys get to intense).  Walked in my back yard this morning.  I have a big pool and lots of greenry there.  It is my favorite place to walk.  Park is nice but don't have to deal with snakes and bugs.  I won't be able to do my regular excersize classes until after my surgery so I will enjoy the peace of my pool.  I love the water.
Getting my final payments made so I don't have to worry about anything else.

Just wanted to share.

Went to my General Practioner today.  Had to talk to her about liquid diet that I will be starting May 23rd.  Being diabetic she wanted to talk to me about what to do if sugar goes to low. She cut my diabetes med in half and suggested that I not do my normal cardio workout because it might mess with my sugar.  She said I could do water aerobics.  I will try that.  I love to swim but our pool isn't heated so I will hold off on that.

Thanks to everyone I have talked to lately.  You all have been giving me great advice and support.

I'm getting so confused on getting info on to the computer.  Can anyone tell me how I can get to a screen to change the Drs' name and to write my story?  I would also like to put something on my avatar put can't figure out how.  Still trying to figure out how to use my computer.  Getting ready for my surgery and would like to be able to do these things.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

I haven't blogged for awhile been in a slump.  Getting really discouraged because i can"t take the required weight  off the Dr. is requiring.  I'm going to see a different Dr. to see if he is a little more relaxed in the weight loss.  Been on the bari nutritionist diet.  Been on my diabetic nutritionist diet.  Can only lose about 5 lbs.  I do have a problem with my thyroid so i think that may be part of it so I'm hoping the other Dr. can help me.  Do cardio exercise 3 days a week.  I am starting to get tingling in my legs which is from the diabetis.  I need the surgery to get in better health but it feels like it will never come.  I feel good because I'm eating better and exercising but still feel a little hopeless. 

Had a bad week and a worse weekend.  My beloved yellow lab took sick and had to have put down on Saturday.  My niece was having her 15th birthday party that afternoon so I had to keep going.  Have been eating everything in sight.  Im trying to loose weight for my surgery and this really hit me hard so now I will have to loose the lbs I put back on and then still try loosing the rest of the weight I have to loose 

Just needed to vent a little and not be such a bummer.
