I have been 199 to 200 for the last week. Please help me get thru this

I went to the doctor and I lost 15lbs forever, wow that sounds great. I am getting use to the diet and the adjustment. I am ready to eat a little soild food I am sick of puree's. I have a little pain in my side but I think it is gas. Other than that I am doing ok.  Thanks everyone for the support

The surgery scheduler called me at 8:00am this morning with a date. Everything is going so fast. I have appts next week and alot of other things to think about and plan. The only thing I am upset about is that my husband and I planned a wonderful Valentines Day week end and we have to cancel it because I am geting prepared for the surgery. I guess it is good to have good things be a problem. I could not be happier.  

I have not heard the word from my surgeons office but I called my insurance and the benefits representive told me that I was approved for my RNY. I am so happy and I thank my savior for all that he is done and I will not let him down. Thanks be to God and all of the things he has done. I can not wait to set my date.. I want it to be March 16th but I will wait and see. I am a teacher so I need to think of my kids  and that is the week before spring break. I am walking on air right now. I need some support however because no one but my husband seemed happy for me.... go figure.

I was watching Keisha Cole and listening to her new album and one of the songs inspired me to think towards life after my surgery. Here are the lyrics:

Make me over (repeat)
Make me over make me nice
And when you done oh i wanna look fly
Make me expensive make me high price
And when you done oh i wanna be right
Total make me over
Make me over i wanna be made over (repeat)
I wanna see some places i aint never seen before i wanna see some faces i aint never seen before
Im bright as the stars so make me brightier
Im already the xxxx baby so make me better
Doll me up hey
Make me real pretty
Doll me up
Make me look good
Make me over i wanna be made over
I wanna look nice now
I wanna look real pretty
I wanna look jazzy
Make me all better

I have about one week or so until my last scheduled doctors appt. for supervised weight loss. I am getting alittle anxious about insurance approval but I did all of my required appts and I hope and pray that I will get approved. I also started attending a great support group and have been praying every night about this decision. I hope God thinks it is a good idea. My husband is supportive but my mom goes back and forth with her support. My friends are back and fourth. I know that this surgery has it's risk but  I can not risk my family medical history manifesting it's self either. 2009 is going to be a year of change. I am changing school systems, changing my mind, body and spirit, I am finishing my second masters degree and moreover becoming who I am. I am excited. I hope my love ones come along for the ride.

I am just starting to track my progress to my surgery date. As of today, I have picked my surgeon( Dr. Averbach) , I had my nutritionist appt, psych evaluation, secured my contraceptive and been to 5 dietary appts with my doctor. I only have one appt left January 6, 2008. I am preparing my self and my lifestyle for change. Body, Mind and Sprit. I think 2009 is going to be the year of the "Change". In more ways than one. I am so excited.
