Well, today is OFFICIALLY day 2 of my liquid diet. I started on Monday but I didn't HAVE to start until Tuesday. I wanted to make sure I could do it lol. It really is not as bad as I thought. I crave a lot of stuff but I know that if I can make it through the next 11 days I will get my surgery :) And those 2 weeks after I'm sure I wont even care about food because I know there is NO WAY I could eat it. I think that is why I am struggling now. I know if I REALLY wanted 1 piece of something (KFC fried chicken is what I want for some dumb reason lol) I could eat it and not be that bad off but I REALLY just want to be able to tell my doctor that I 100% followed his orders! I know it sounds kind of dumb. Plus I had about 6 or 7 "Last meals" but never got the Mongolian food I wanted. I was really bummed about that and then I realized that I could still eat that after surgery because I only get veggies, pineapple, shrimp and chicken with a little kung pow sauce. Mmmm.... I want something so bad but I KNOW I CAN DO THIS LIQUID DIET!!! I just needed to vent a little I guess or get my fingers moving to take my mind off food a little bit.

That's another thing. It is ALL mind hunger! The carnation instant breakfast shakes that I'm aloud to have 4 times a day are actually filling! I only drank 3 yesterday and didn't realize it until I was in bed! I drink a ton of water and a little crystal light.

Well, wish me luck that the next 11 days FLIES BY!!!

This is the second chair I've broken in the last month or so. I don't understand, I've never broken a chair before and I don't sit nearly as much as I used to and I weigh 35 lbs less. Maybe it's because I get up and down more? I don't really care how I justify it, it wouldn't happen if I didn't weigh so much. I just want to sit down and not worry about breaking the chair...

Is it weird that I can't wait to start my liquid diet??? Seriously, I thought I would be devastated!!! But I REALLY just want to start my liquid diet because I know it will take more weight off and I don't have to wonder about making the right choices. Starting September 21st I will start my all liquid diet. I will be allowed 4 carnation instant breakfast shakes per day and any water/ crystal light/ clear liquids. I want this surgery! Don't get me wrong, I'm nervous, but I know that this is what's right FOR ME!!!

On January 1st 2010 I weighed 329lbs and as of today I weigh 293.4 lbs!!! I CRIED the day I could say "I don't weigh 300 pounds anymore!" I want to weigh 290 before I go to my next appointment on September 21st. I'm working hard everyday just like I will for the rest of my life!!! I love being in control of my weight and my life!!! Today I can say that I am having surgery next month!!! I'm sorry for the rambling, I am feeling a little emotional and anxious!!! I want to be healthy more than anything in the world!!! No food tastes as good as being healthy feels!!! I truly believe that!!!

OCTOBER 5th 2010!!!

...until I see the surgeon for my pre-op appointment. I'm getting really emotional because I know it's either I'm in or I'm out at this point. I've lost almost 32lbs since January and I wanted to be at 299 before I saw the sureon. This morning I was 297.6 lbs!!! So that was good. I hope he sees how hard I have worked and how far I have come and how dedicated I am to do whatever it takes!!! Surgery is the tool I need to help me accomplish my goals in life!!!

I set up my appointment today to see the surgeon!! It's not for 7 weeks but I can take that time to get more weight off so recovery will be easier. I'm SOOO HAPPY that I finally have and appointment with a surgeon! And it is the surgeon I wanted!!! 7 weeks and counting!

Well, this is my first blog and I am waiting to hear about my appointment with a surgeon. Let's rewind...
On November 6, 2009 I saw my PCP and requested to a candidate for bariatric surgery. I was later sent a questionnaire that I filled out.
In January I started the process. I attended an 8 week weight management class and it actually helped a lot.
All along the way I have been required to attend seminars and such and I also attend a support group every month.
I have seen dietitians, nutritionist, physical therapist and social workers along the way as well.
I just had my blood work done and my case was reviewed on Friday July2, 2010 and at this point I am waiting for my program director to call me and tell me if I have been cleared to get an appointment with a surgeon. Hopefully she will call tomorrow.
I also have an appointment to get an ultrasound done as a pre-op procedure. Waiting waiting waiting...
