My Date has been set!
Jun 04, 2007
I went to my case manager appointment today! I can't believe it, I got a surgery date. I'm having surgery on June 27th. I can't believe it. That's only a little more than 3 weeks away. I am so excited that I don't even know what to say. I knew I would get my appointment today but I never thought I would be going this month.
I have my case manager appointment
May 31, 2007
Well... I went to the support group last night and I got weighed in at 213 (four pounds less than where I had to be). I have my case manager consult on Monday at 2:00PM. I am so excited! I'm going to try to keep losing weight. I've been feeling so much better. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm at my goal weight!!!!!
May 27, 2007
I'm at my goal weight. I didn't weigh myself all week and when I hopped on the scale yesterday, I realize that I lost all of the 24 pounds that I was required to lose. I'm going to go weigh in this week so I can finally get to surgery! I am so very excited!!!
4.5 more to go...

Surgeon Consult
May 15, 2007
I am so freakin' stoked! I went today for my surgeon consult and I've only got to lose 5 more pounds. I hadn't realized that I already lost 19 pounds (since January 19th). It shouldn't be too much longer now that I have to wait.
Dr. Fisher was totally awesome. He made me feel very comfortable and he was very excited about my weight loss.
I just can't believe this is finally coming together. I'm going to go to the support group on May 30th to weigh in and check in with Beverly ? and then the next thing I have to do is get my case management appointment...
I can't believe I've come this far. I weighed 242 on January 19, 2007 which is the heaviest I've ever been and it's only taken me 4 months to lose 19 pounds. I must say I'm quite proud of myself. I never thought I'd do that good on the 1200 calorie diet. It's been rough but here I am, one step closer to making a permanent change in my life. Now all that's really left to do is take care of all my labs, my EKG and a tighten up a few lose ends. I am so excited about this, I'm sure all of you have some idea.

do you feel like no one understands what we're going through?

Do you ever feel like the people in your life just don't get what's going on? I'm trying to have this surgery to improve the quality of my life. I never feel good, I'm always feeling sick, I take 15 prescriptions a day and I'm tired of it. The people I work with are always making comments that they could never give up food or they rub it in my face when they go out to eat high-fat meals (like I'm the one missing out).
It's hard not to get frustrated with people like that.
Friends are also hard for me to come by. Most of the friends that I had before I got married are no longer part of my life. They think that because I'm married that I can't hang out. Whatever? I guess that's there hangup, not mine! The remaining friends that I have are indifferent about me having the surgery and don't lend a lot of support.
I'm lucky that my husband is pretty good to listening to me whine about this f-d up situation. But he's not heavy and doesn't understand exactly what it's like for me. He knows I'm unhappy with this, but doesn't know how to console me.
My sister is pretty busy right now having just given birth to my third nephew. She also went through the surgery. My father had the surgery too (but he's busy trying to sell his house). Anyway, does anyone else get frustrated like this?

Mall Walkers @ Sun Valley Mall
Apr 30, 2007
Hey... If anyone is looking for a good place to walk, Sun Valley Mall in Concord opens up pretty early for people who want to come walk. Three full laps (top & bottom floor) makes up one mile. I try to go every morning with my mom at about 7AM. It leaves adequate time for a full mile and for me to get to work in Martinez. It's just a suggestion for those that don't like to walk in the heat or the cold. They have music going and I've done a lot of dreaming about all the clothes I can buy after I have surgery. :) If you don't live near Concord, then maybe your local mall has the same thing going on. Call your local mall info line for further details.
