Update

Sep 14, 2008

Well, as you can see, I've been very busy and haven't updated in a while:)  I've now lost 43.6.  It's been slow but that's ok with me because it all adds up in the end.  I'm losing around 1 pound per week but thats eating anything I want.  I'm sure if I strapped down to high protein and low carb, I would really start dropping it off which is what I may do so I can get a good bit lost by Christmas;)    Well I'm happy with my progress and can't wait for my goal

Well it's been a little over 4 months now....I'm losing slow but I'm losing:)  I've lost 33.2 pounds which is half way for me.  I can't believe that when I lose 32 pounds I'll be 99.8 pounds:)  My ultimate goal is 95 but when I get to 99.9 I can atleast say I weigh in the 90's again:)

Well wish me luck and continued success:)

Just an update on my progress

May 26, 2008

Well I had my 2nd fill on 5/14, and it was a big one.  My dr put in 3cc's and I already had in 4 cc's.  I'm guessing I have an agressive Dr.  But hey, it's working for me.  I am now up to 26.4 pounds...Wow, I can't believe I've almost lost 30 pounds.  It's been kinda slow but every pound adds up.  My dr is very impressed with my loss because I'm considered light weight.  I mean, on my surgery day, I only weighed 165 but it's my  height that got me approved:)  My dr even told me on my last visit that I wouldn't even qualify for surgery anymore.  That is AWESOME!!!..  

Well, I'm just going to keep on doing what I'm doing but add in more exercise and hopefully I'll get this weight off and tone up some:)  

Can't wait to see myself 6 months post op.  Right now I'm 11 weeks post op (well tomorrow will be 11 weeks exactly)

2 months after surgery!!

May 12, 2008

Well it's been 2 months already and I can't believe it.  I've lost 22 pounds which I'm happy with.  I am in desperate need of a fill though.  I go on Wednesday (thank goodness).  I haven't lost anything in a couple weeks and I know that I can eat more than I should be able to.  Hopefully my 2nd fill will do the trick for a while:)

Almost 2 weeks post surgery

Mar 21, 2008

I am almost 2 weeks post surgery and everything is going well.  I am getting over all the soreness pretty quickly.  I am currently on the mushies stage which is hard but not nearly as hard as the liquid stage.  Glad to be past that.  On Tuesday I start on soft foods so no more pureeing my food (thank goodness).  LOL!!!! 

The hardest thing to me has been watching everyone else eat the foods I like and I can't have it.  I actually got a little emotional about it one night but sucked it up because this was my choice and one day I'll be able to eat those things I really enjoy just in moderation.  I know that the band is the right thing to do and I do NOT regret it one bit.  Based off my scales I have lost 12 pounds which I'm happy with.

Well that's all for now:)


Having surgery:)

Mar 07, 2008

I have a surgery date now...It's March 11th.  I'm so excited and nervous.  I have to be there at 530am Tuesday morning.  Me and my husband are going to get a room in downtown ATL Monday night.  Not that we will have a lot of fun or being able to go anywhere, I have to drink that horrible stuff to "clean" your system out::(  YUK

Almost finished with appts

Jan 24, 2008

I'm almost finished with my appt.  I had my appt with Dr Santavicca today and it went well.  I found out my insurance required me to have a nutritional evaluation so I will have that tomorrow and that should be the last thing that is required to sumbit everything to my insurance company.  I had my blood work drawn on Tuesday and found out yesterday that my cholesterol was higher than it was last time.  My total Cholesterol was 263 (normal 199 or below) and my tryglicerides were 285 (normal 149 or below).  They put me on Zocor.  But hopefully it will help in getting me an approval.   Keep your fingers crossed:) 

Next Week

Jan 19, 2008

Next week I go to my PCP to get the letter I need from them.  I also go to my psych eval next week.  Once I complete both of those and they send everything to Emory, they will send everything to my insurance.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they approve me.  I'm so nervous about that part.  I want this so bad and I need them to make it easy on me:)
