June 3rd now almost Oct3rd

Sep 26, 2014

i only have 32lbs to goal😄.  I went from a size 20 pants to size 8 and also can fit in juniors 9 jeans.  I went from a size 3x to a med shirt.  Still having a hard time finding a winter coat to fit. I have a 5'7" arm span so coats are hard. But shopping Sunday to find something warm.  I am cold all the time now.

my post op labs were great. Only thing is I am losing lots of hair and it is freaking me out. I didn't want to be thin to be bald.  The only other thing I am going through is I lost my job.  I stopped exercising for about 10 days and just got back to it today. I feel much better when I exercise.

8 weeks post op

Jul 26, 2014

I weighed in at 206.2 this morning.  Excited that the scale finally moved again.  I am fitting in to size 12, and 13 Juniors low rise jeans...

I am finally able to go in store and fit in normal size clothing.  So close to be under 200... Had pork for the first time today, must of ate too fast stuck in my throat.  But good now waiting to do more yard work. 

All I have to do is Thank the good Lord for my health and my husband and family support .

So 15 Days Post Op

Jun 18, 2014

I have lost 25lbs so far and I already will be going back to work July 1st.  I hope to be down more by then.  I don't have clothes to wear so I plan to by some stretch Capri's and some long shirts that fit better in the shoulders.   My tummy is swollen yet.  I can eat about 3oz of Chicken or tuna.  The surgeon wants me to eat till I feel full.  But that is sometimes hard.  I know when I am full, just not when I am hungry unless I get light headed.  I work out 1 hour a day and feel good. I am just tired and I know when I get back to work I will be really tired. Well going back to work July 1st gives me a short week and will get me used to being back in the groove.  I am living now Like I am at work and keeping to the eating schedule that I am used to when I work.  So I am back to night time workouts.  Upper back aches, need to see chiroprator, but have to wait for Dr.'s OK.

5 weeks Pre op

Apr 23, 2014

Been doing good till lately.  Been craving sweets. Made some soup and got reflux. I tell myself a few more weeks and I will not be eating sweets and stuff that is bad for me. I have lost 35lbs already and am trying to hold there or lose a little more before surgery.  

I Work out 3 days a week, some cardio the rest strength training. At least 90 min each day I work out. I have been busy with work, school and planning my sons grad party. 

Excited and scared all at the same time.  I have my Pre op on May 13 th. Hope all goes well. Looking forward to having 6 weeks off of work.  I need a rest. Even though I will be working hard at recovering at home. 

Giving all all my clothes away to my sisters the last week in May the week before my surgery. Keeping only my small clothes and dresses to wear and work out clothes.

Journey

Mar 01, 2014

12/23/2013- I went to see my family Dr. for the 1st weight reduction visit.  Was told all the usual and was told to exercise.  

12/28/2013- Joined the GYM 

1/6/2014- met with Dr. Wallace for the 1st time.  Had the initial visit and stuff that goes with it. 

1/21/2014- Met with my Family doctor.  Lost 9 lbs gave me more instructions and I am going to the gym 3 day a week to work out.  I am only up to 15 min cardio and 20 min strength training. 

1/27/2014 - met with the dietitian and went over my eating habits of what I needed to change and what I have changed already.

2/ 17/2014- met with the Physiologist- WOW an hour apt.  Things went well and he told me I was well informed.  

2/19/2014- Met with my Family Dr. for my 3rd Month visit ( that's all my insurance requires.) Lost 7lbs. - working out 30 min Cardio and 45 min Strenght training 3 day a week and still on 1500 calories.  

2/19/2013- call Dr Wallace office and let them know I was done with my appointment and they could send in to INS. 

2/21/2014- Dr. Wallace office called me to let me know they were sending all my stuff into Insurance. 

3/1/2014- Still waiting.  I guess I will be waiting for a while to hear if I am approved.  I know they have to submit to my Insurance first which will deny then, they will submit to my husbands insurance that hopefully will cover it. I pray to God that they will. In the mean time I am still seeing My family Dr. and still working out and eating only 1500 cal or less.  

3/5/2014- I am home sick from work.  Using my essential oils to help me get better fast.  I didn't work out today my regular day.  But I will on Fri.  One thing happen today when I was home.  I got the call that my surgery was approved.  Surgery date set for 6\3\2014.  They wanted May 5th, but my son graduates Memorial Day weekend and I want to make sure I am feeling great to see him graduate.
