Still alive and kicking. Since I couldnt have the surgery, Im plugging along and Im at 41 pounds lost..hope you all are well..

Lost my insurance so I called and cancelled everything this morning. So theres no need for me to post on here because this is just for surgical patients only. Take care.

Yesterday I found out in the mail that I lost my mainecare because I went back to work. And the irony is, I got my paperwork from EMMC to go see Dr Toder in Feb.

I am upset, big time. Going to the Mainecare office to see what I can do on monday.

Well, I had my dietician one on one and my psych eval on thursday.

I have lost 11 lbs in 5 weeks since my last visit, which brings my total to 25lbs lost. Amanda was very happy with my progress. I am down from 312 lbs to 286.6.

My psych eval went well. He said I was normal..Who would have thought? LOL

So I got 2 thumbs up for the surgery..YAY! She said I was an excellent candidate.

Now, Amanda recommended to me that I have Dayim as my surgeon. I guess she only takes the healthiest ones and I qualify. At least thats what I understood. And I have not had any abdominal surgeries, except for 2 csections, but I guess those do not count. Any imput on Dayim would be appreciated.

Looks like I may have a surgeons visit in Jan and I could be looking at March/April for my gastric. 

24 lbs down! Going to Bangor this week for my dietician appt and my psychology appt. Maybe get a bit of shopping done, too.

Since October to now, this is what my blood tests show as of yesterday..Im psyched!


Total chol-176    was 196
Trig   97             was 82
LDL  114            was 133
HDL  43             was 47

Glucose   104    was 110

As of this morning..Im down to 289.8..thats a 23 lb weight loss!!!!!!

A few days ago, I hit the 20lbs lost mark..I was scared tgiving would have messed me up but Im ok! I cant wait for the 17th to go to the dieticians and the psychologist..one more step closer!

Well, the meeting with the nutritionist and PT went very well. Lots of info. Been asking friends about the unjury powder and they all said they didnt like it...hmmm...Also, at the weigh in, I broke 300lbs! 299!!!! Thats 13 Ive lost :)

Im down 12 lbs AND I increased my time at the gym by 15 minutes. I did a total of 35 minutes today :)
