So it's been 5 months and a couple days since my RNY and AMAZING wouldnt be a good enough word to describe this experience. I can honestly say that this is the BEST thing that I have ever done for myself. I am happier, more active, have a better outlook on life and my quality of life has improved ten-fold!! Not to mention I LOOK GREAT!!! #I'mJust Saying!
I'm still learning how to handle all the attention that I get from men now and it's so weird. I wore the below ensemble yesterday and I got at least 16 compliments from men and women alike. I'm so proud of my progress. To date I have lost a little over 50% of my excess weight. 49 lbs to go..... Wish me well!!!! 

 

Weighed in this morning at 208! I am so close to Onederland I can almost taste it!! LOL. 78lbs to goal and I am just in an amazing mood today!

One month ago on February 21, 2011 I had RNY. I can say that this has been a difficult journey and I know it isn't gong to get easy any time soon but I can honestly say that this has been one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences that I have had in my life. I still struglle with certain foods. I still struglle to get down my fluids and get in all my protein. I also still struggle with chewing those yucky vitamins but I would do the whole process again in a heart beat. As of my last weigh in on Monday I am down 20 pounds! That's great for only one month! I have 86lbs to go to meet my goal and I have no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice in having this surgery. I look better and health wise I feel great! To all of you contemplating this surgery, go with how you feel, but this is an AWESOME opportunity and I am so grateful that I was able to have it done!

So yesterday I went for my last pre op appointment with my surgeon and everything went well. I have to sdmit I was super nervous that my bloodwork was gonna come back horrible and I was gonna have to be rescheduled ( I have been struggling with severe anemia and low vitamin d for the past several months) But my labs were perfect! Yayyyyy!!! Soooo.. I'm super excited. I'm on Day 8 of my Liver Shrinking Diet an surprisingly I feel great! I have even enjoyed sitting in the cafe at work with friends while they ate scrumptuous smelling food and I sipped my broth or crystal light. (Who would've thought???? Lol) Winding down, working out, preparing for my hosptial stay and gonna have a great weekend. I can feel it! I'll be on the loser's bench with you guys really soon! MOVE OVER!!!!

It seems like only yesterday I was fighting for an approval from my insurance company and NOW my surgery is in THREE WEEKS!!! I'm uber excited anf can't wait until it's my time to take a seat on the loser's bench... (MOVE OVER GUYS) So in about 11 days I will begin my Pre Op Diet... Hopefully it isnt that bad... I know I can do it!  SO excited!!!

That's all for now... Lol

Okay so I’m so upset and frustrated right now… After a long grueling road of appointments and consultations in preparation for my surgery which is supposed to be next month I have been DENIED! Why might you ask? Because my insurance company sucks. According to them they never received my psychological evaluation or my sleep study assessment…. Are you kidding me???? Every bit of documentation was sent. I feel like they’re playing with my life. And according to my doctor’s office they always have this problem with my insurance carrier. They explained that it always takes a fight. I wouldn’t mind having to fight if they weren’t so incredibly stupid… They are so unorganized and it’s so hard to speak with a credible person. I am just sooooooo frustrated. Hopefully this is all over soon and I get an approval very soon… I’ll continue to pray.

 

Wish me well all…
