11/2/06 OMG OMG OMG!!!

Went shopping last night at the mall and went through and picked out mostly 16's a couple 18's and a 14 just for kicks! Welllllllllllllll they were all too big!! I am officially officially into a size 14 misses!! I can't believe it! I was in such awe! I put on a pair of Levi's size 14 misses….they fit my butt, my legs and look damn good! Size Large Sweaters however I did have to get a few xl's but who cares!!! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was prancing around and dancing in the dressing room showing my hubby! So all the clothes went back to the racks and off to the misses department! I had a great time and bought some warm sweaters. Even though my intent was to get some capris and a few summer tops for our trip - but I don’t' care I'll spend the time in my swimsuit!! LOL

 

I am working on being good where I am, I know I am not done losing, my body is just adjusting and I need to be more diliagent with my tool! Life is wonderful!

I can't believe that 7 months have passed since my surgery which is a rebirth! This is an amazing journey! While there are bumps in the road and head issues that pop up, I'm learning there is nothing I can't handle. I am also trying to learn that I need to lean on my support system when I feel like pulling back and hiding.

As of my 6 month appt, my iron is low as well as my hemoglobin so I am back on the daily iron. Other than that I have no problems. I am learning that there is so much to this journey and the majority of it is wonderful. I am so blessed to have been given my health back and my life. I am not longer making excuses to stay in the house and avoid life!

As of today I am at 196 and still pinching myself. I do have the fear that I will step on the scale and it will all be a joke and I really weigh 314 again. This I'm working on! I am trying to "live" in my body. My goal was 199 docs goal is 187, however I think I'd like to see 170, but I'll take what I get and be happy with it!!

Thanks to everyone here, I couldn't ask for more wonderful, loving and supportive people!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Its official I am addicted to my scale...I'm just glad its moving!!! 197 today wooooooooohooooooooooo!!

Okay so can it be true?? Am I truly in ONERLAND?? I think I finally love my scale! This morning it said 198.5...I stepped on it 3 times..198.5 all 3 times! woooooooooooooooooohooooooooo

Goal two met! Everything from here is a bonus! 11.5 pounds to Doc Jones goal! I am still not sure this is true...I am afraid that tomorrow its going to say 204 again. What a mind game this is!!

Six Months Post-Op

It’s unbelievable to me that six months have passed since my surgery. I have undergone such tremendous change! The summer is over and the weather is getting cool, winter is knocking on the door.

My weight loss is slowing as is the loss of my hair. I am so happy with the results so far! I have lost over 100lbs and I am close to Onderland!!

My self confidence has grown leaps and bounds! I have even signed up for a Belly Dancing class that starts on Monday!! I'm excited! Exercise disguised as fun??? I'm there!!

I have some issues with body image but they are getting better and I am learning to accept the changes. It its funny to me because this started completely as a health issue and now I'm becoming very vain…LOL I want to look great! I feel good and I am happy so I am looking for self acceptance!

Life is great!! My husband is so proud of me and is always complimentary and encouraging. My boys think its great! Mom is now getting out and doing things with them! I am no longer hiding in the house making excuses not to do things.

I know the weight loss isn't over and if I didn't lose another pound I would be happy, or so I tell myself…lol In all honesty I have my life back as God has given me this gift and many other! I couldn't have gotten this far with out all my friends, my angels, OH and PNC group!

I am so glad this wild ride is still going!! I know I have to continue to be aware of my eating habits, make sure I'm getting in my liquids, proteins and my vitamin and life will continue to be AWESOME!

What a great weekend...cocktail party friday night, domestic goddess duties on saturday and spent sat even with my 14 yr old.

Sunday was my first trip to the MN State Fair. It was a great time! It was easy to get my liquids in and great exercise! Not so well with the protien, but thats okay it wasn't bad either. Went home HUNGRY..grabed a piece of baked chicken and ate too fast and what did i get...STUCK! My very first time! It was not fun! I was just thinking the night before that my stoma must be big because i never get anything stuck...well not true!! It was not a pleasant experience and if I never have it again I'll be thrilled!! I felt like I was going to throw up...not that lucky...tried a warm drink..nope made the pain worse...my wonderful husband went to the store to get me a coke...came home with a two liter..made me laugh! The first sip hurt, but the next two did the trick! No more waiting until I'm too hungry!! Lesson learned!!

Last nights support meeting was AWESOME!! Now we always have a great time and learn ALOT with Barb. We have been talking about alternatives to "traditional" exercise and last night we had a belly dancer come in...well she is actually a fitness trainer who teaches a belly dancing class! OMG what a great time and excerise too!! I am signing up for her classes!!!

here's a couple of pics!!!

 

WE HAD SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!

A group of us went to dinner at Bunny's after..its always great to chat outside of group since we have to TRY to keep Linda out of trouble at group!! LOL Okay okay she isn't the only one that gets shushed!

 

8/22/06

I have to tell you I finally met my newest friend in person over the weekend! Miss Ronda and I had a wonderful time chatting, it was 4 hours later before we knew it!! We were kicked out of the resteraunt into the lounge...I have a few pics I'll post soon!

 

Ronda was approved on Friday and today received her date Nov 15th...I'm so flipping excited!! She is such a beautiful, warm, genuine person!! God brings us to people we need in our life...reason, season or lifetime...i think she is lifetime!! I love added true friends to my life!!

Well I'm a day late updating....yesterday was my 5 month anniversary. I can't believe that it has been 5 months already!! Time sure does fly!! I have no complaints about this surgery...LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!!! I will say that there are bumps in the road and it isnt' always smooth sailing, but hell who's life is????

The weight loss is slowing down and I'm okay with that...I am ready to "live in it" for a bit. The hair loss is still happening, but hey I have/had a ton of hair and now its really thinned out. I think i've stopped worrying about going bald! At least for now :O)

I have a difficult time finding clothes right now...one size a bit tight and the next size way too big...but no bitching...or at least I try not to...its much better trying to find the size 16 that fits well than trying to find the 24/26 that doesn't make me look ugggggggh you know!

There are soooooooooooooo may wows!! I am healthy! I cross my legs all the time, I fit in seats, I have more self esteem, I like what I see in the mirror and on and on and on.

I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and family, great friends in IL and MN, fabulous angels and an awesome support network on OH and at PNC. These are things that I know have helped with my success. It helps to know that you can turn to someone who knows what you are going through, share your moments and inspire others. This surgery allows so many positive things in my life!! God truly has blessed me again and again.

I am at a 99lb total loss....this has been an amazing ride. I am very happy with the results and I would do it again in a heart beat. But the road is not without bumps and head issues. I have been beating myself up for having chips and I have started having some diet a&w rootbeer. I know that everything in moderation and I know I am okay with these on occassion and it has not become a habit. BUT my problem has been guilt! I feel like a horrible person because I have had these things....I know I'm not but that feeling is horrible. I pulled back from everyone, family, friends, support group and from my OH family. Well after last night and the analgy of WLS being like water skiing...thanks Barb!!! My goal is to make it around the lake...I need to try to stay behind the boat, but life will take me from side to side and its how I handle myself in the choppy water that is going to make a difference!! If I fall, I can not climb into the boat and pout...I HAVE to put the ski's back on and get back behind the boat!!! made perfect sense to me...Today I am happy with myself and I am no longer beating myself up!! A special thanks to Dana and Tatum for being there for me listening to my angry self and giving great advise...LIFE IS GOOD!!

Today is a great day...my son is 18 today..Happy Bday Zack! I am blown away with the fast passing of time. Maybe I'm just realizing it because I'm getting older..lol

I also realize that I have become Ms Indenpendent. In four short months I can do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING for myself! No more having someone look under the bed for my shoes...no more asking somone to pick something up off the floor...I can do ALL of the domestic chores...suppose that means I am the Domestic Godness once again..lol I have also painted the bedroom, moved furniture, all the things I had to rely on the rest of my family for...NO MORE! This surgery truly gives your freedom back!! I can walk and walk and walk..even the stairs without losing my breath or having to stop because my back was in such terrible pain. NO MORE. I have been wanting to refinish furniture and build "stuff" well I have finally begun! I am redoing a dresser and a chest of drawers and soon will be starting on floating shelves and a new step for the back door...I don't have to ask anyone for anything (except lifting the dressers onto the saw horses..he he) What a great feeling!! No more feeling of helplessness....wooooooooooofreakinhooooooooo

I thank God everyday for this blessing and I am so glad to have this process and especially for all the friends and support I have met along the way!

7/17/06 4 months post op today! I can hardly believe it!!

I was busy all weekend, it was amazing at just how much I got accomplished. Yesterday I worked in the house (moving rooms around) doing serious cleaning and laundry from 7 am to 9pm. I only sat down to eat. I must have went up and down the stairs between 50 and 100 times. (12 loads of laundry and trying to get the trojan virus off my computer..ugggh)

I feel great and I am starting to feel good in my clothes. I am not happy with the hair falling out, but hey its a small price to pay for such a large weight loss!!!

With only 1lbs weight loss in the last week I was disappointed, yes I know that this is normal but I honestly dont' like it. I can remember being pre op and tatum being upset and me lecturing her and she kept saying just you wait....well my day has come and I'm eating my words!! I decided on Wed after I weighed to up my protien and I just felt like I was eating too much and I was sure I gained (yes I know its nearly impossible) so on the scale this morning, and it moved to 225!!! I am so amazed!

OMG what a great weekend!! I relized so many things and realized how far physically I've come in just under 4 months...4 months since surgery..really?? can it be?? Hell yeah and I've never been so happy about a life change before!!!

I have been preping and painting the bedroom, I realized that I was walking across the floor on my knees..what?? how did that happen??? I couldn't even kneel 4 months ago..wooooooo flippin hooooooooo!!

We went to a Saints game friday night...sat in a folding chair on the warning track..something I wouldn't have fit in 4 months ago...after the game there were fire works, so they had the folks on the warning track come into the outfield...I actually sat/laid on the ground...yes on the ground..i would have never been about to get to the ground 4 months ago..pain and fear that I would never get back up! 45 mins of spectacular fireworks and a long walk back to the truck...NO PROBLEM!!

July 4, 2006

Sat and Sunday - finsihed painting (oh and cleaning and re cleaning the 1/2 gallon of paint I kicked over onto the new carpet ugggh) Went shopping did tons of walking all without the "fear" of people looking at me...I did have small panic moment when we went to dinner on Sat night, the hostess took us to a booth...oh crap..i'll never fit..runs through my head and I look at my husband...he says whats wrong i say nothing and hurry to sit down...well it was plenty big and had lots of room to spare!! Yes still waiting for my head to catch up!!

total loss of 86lbs...I see the number, I feel the difference and I love this...but it is so flippin amaing to me that this can actually happen!!

I have had not issues with the surgery...I tried a little pasta for the first time and did well with it, however I dont' think that is something I will have often as there are no protiens and too many carbs...

The weekend was great...did movie night with the girls...some furniture moving and the painting has begun! So much I can do now..i am again amazed...

The hubby and I had alot of quality time this weekend and he is so amazing...he is always telling me how great I look and he is in awe of the things I do now that weren't even a thought 3 months ago. Ohhhhhhhh I am sooooooooooooo in love all over again!

6/30/06

Yesterdays post was quite powerful for me. There is a ton more of stuff that goes into this, however I will not get into it here. I wrote that because I needed to stop being this persons victim. While she can justify her actions and I have spent the last 3 plus months trying to do it for her, I just can't. I don't like to see the ugliness some people possess inside. I always try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and try not to judge because I do not like to be judged. I fully intend to keep moving forward with all aspects of my life. soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

todays good news.....drum roll.....I am only 1/2 pound from being 230...I can't flippin believe it!!!

That is a total weight loss of 83.5lbs!!

16.5 more lbs and I get to drive my primary doc's brand new sports car!!! A little incentive I suppose!!

The boys are going to their dad's this weekend so a little down time for me and hubby. I am finally going to meet my friend ronda next weekend! Spending the 4th with my angels bbq'ing and watching the fireworks. What more could a girl as for???

This is a great email that I received.

It puts alot things in perspective for me.

We all have those who we would never let go of and those who we should have let walk away long before they hurt us. Why we let them stay and ignore the signs is something that we have to work through after the fact. Its good to remember that we are the ones who make the decisions and to not let people who aren't healthy for us in our lives. We all have been fooled at one point or another by someone. Get rid of those who are manipulative, liars, and who you can not trust. Keep those who are supportive and loving.

I personally am dealing with lies and betrayal of someone whom I trusted completely. This has been a struggle for me as she called my husband and told him she feared I wouldn't be successful with the surgery and that she didn't feel I was ready for it. My husband was already worried about another surgery, I had a massive back surgery followed by a pain patch addiction that was 2 plus years of hell for him.  While this has brought me great anguish I know this kind of pain does not go away easily. It has made my marriage stronger in the long run and I have proved her wrong...I AM SUCCESSFUL with my WLS and with my marriage. We learn hard lessons in life and need to hold those who are truly friends close to our hearts.

I feel very blessed that I know who my real friends are and that I have such an awesome support group at home, at PNC and online!

Thanks to all my friends! I love you all!

Or at least that is what I think todays date is!

I did not weigh today my last weigh in was last wednesday. I know I am very close to, if not in a stall. I can feel it!! I am no longer complaining about the furbee in the bottom of the tub and in my hairbrush. I have been blessed with really thick hair and it isn't noticable to anyone but me. I am still seeing a therapist for wl and non wl issues and seems to be going pretty well. This is definately a mental game.

I got to see another ultra sound of my soon to be God Baby....what a little bean...sooooooooooooo adorable!! so what will the baby be....a boy or a girl....I think a boy but I'm hopin for a girl!!

I want to say I have made another wonderful wonderful friend...Rhonda you are an amazing woman and I am so happy that our friendship is growing!

6/21/06 Today is my 3 month follow up with Dorothy, I am so excited to see her and see what my pre op pic looks like! I really should have taken more pictures and measurements, however I know that I can be obessive and I didnt' want to put myself in that situation so I didnt'. While I do regret it a bit, I think in the long run it will be for the best. I never really thought I looked like I did when I was 314lbs! I weighed this morning and the scale is moving so maybe i'm not in a stall??? 233.5 this morning. I'll take what I can get!! I went shopping yesterday and I was so amazed at the sizes. I found a great pair of jean capri's and took the 20-22-24 to the dressing room...yes button and zip fron..no elastic!! and guess what???? The 20's fit perfect!!! I was so excited!! I didn't buy them, but I did get a pair of khaki capri's and a cute top with spilit cap sleves in a size 18/20!!! I am amazed!! I feel a bit naked and self consisious, I'm use to wearing things as big as I can get them and longer sleeves to hide under...well no more!!

I'll update more after my appt!

okay appointment is over and Dorothy was very happy with me :O)

Even though our scales say differently..I'm bringing mine with to my next appt! lol I have to start Vit C and iron full time and make sure I'm upping my exercise! Otherwise I'll see her in 3 months!

my before picture..OMG its horrible!! Dorothy is going to email it to me and then I'll have to get tatum to put it on here for me! now for the best part....I have lost 9.5 inches from my waist and 8.25 inches from my hips!! My blood pressure is perfect and I am on NO prescription drugs!! Best of all I am no longer Morbidly Obese, I am proud to say I am just Obese with a bmi of 36.5, just a little further and I'll be overweight!!

Well here it is!!! My BEFORE picture!!! What a difference 3 months makes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

6/19/06

Well I am in my first stall...I can tell you while I knew it was going to happen that I dont' appreciate it at all! LOL I know my body needs to stablize and I need to stick to the program. I am doing better than I have been with my liquids and I am getting over the 60 oz per day. Protien has been going really well too. I dont' have anything to complain about and I only wish I would have done this sooner. I give thanks to God everyday for this blessing and thanks to Dr Jones. He is a wonderful man and surgeon!

WOW I can't believe it has been 3 months to the day of my surgery!

This is a wild ride! I have felt great for the most part. I have more wonderous moments than not. I am able to do so much more physically and my self confidence has improved ten fold. I am losing hair, but everyone says I have more than enough to spare! I am also having some emotional highs and lows. I get sad for no reason..none..can't figure out why...the answer its part of surgery isn't good enough..ha ha ha....they say its from month 2 til month 5-6 thank goodness i'm half way through it! Sitting hurts my booty...seems i'm finding bones everywhere that I forgot about or haven't seen in quite some time!!

With out my husband, my family, especially my angels Cindy and Tatum, my bestest friends Mindy and Tammy things would be difficult. The best advise I have for pre ops is get a strong support group around you! It doesn't have to be anyone that has had surgery just those who love you and want the best for you. Introduce them to OH, take them to meetings with you, use the boards for all questions..wls related or personal if you need to!!

Things I have been able to do in the past three months...there are so many I dont' know if I can pick favorites! I love them all!!

I flew without a seatbelt extender!!

I can cross my legs like a lady and my feet dont' fall asleep!

I can walk without having to stop

I can look straight down and see the numbers on the scale without moving or "sucking in"

I can see my feet!!

I can bend over and pick things up!

I stood at our nephews baseball game for over an hour and had no pain!

My joints dont' hurt anymore

I can run up and down the stairs!

I choose to walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator (if its under 3 flights..lol)

Making love is more exciting ;o)

I have more energy

I don't watch much tv anymore

I like being outside!

I like getting compliments from strangers! wooohooo

 

I have gone from 26/28 - 3x/4x in the beginning to a 1x top and bottoms, however i need to look at different pants as these are too big already!

am i complaining?? HELL NO! But I'm trying not to shop either...wearing what I can until they are just way to big. Then the shopping will begin! I may need to get a part time job, lol.

I know I keep saying what a wild ride, but it totally amazes me that I have lost all this weight in less than 3 months. It isn't without little bumps in the rode. Worrying that the weight loss will stop, waiting for my head to see what the scale says and the other little things like trying to drink milk. I never thought I'd have to "try" to do it. I was a huge milk drinker before surgery..hmmmmm Not alot makes sense except that nothing makes sense. Make sense??

I love seeing the look on my husbands face when he looks at me and says WOW...I'm glad he can see what I don't, that helps keep things in perspective for me. 2 more weeks until my 3 month anniversary...I can't believe how quickly time is flying!

well posting a bit later than usual. my granny passed and I went home to IL for the funeral. I have to say all went very well and the service and mass were both very nice. It was time for her to be with God and she lived a long happy life.

I did end up sick while we were there and my question is...where the hell is all this snot coming from?????????????????????

My goodness I thought my head weighed a million pounds, who knew one could blow so much!!

We came left Saturday and made it home around midnight. Just relaxed and did some domestic chores. Its beautiful out and I'm ready for some jeepin with the top down!

5/22/06

Life is great and sad....My oldest son graduated in southern IL and my youngest was confirmed in MN what a whirlwind weekend! I am so proud of both of them. Stephen struggled with school and I am so happy that he pushed through and made it! Nick wants to be a youth minister so confirmation was extra special to him! I will try to put some picture here...if I can figure it out!!

this is such a ride! I am now looking foward to mondays..who'd a figured??? LOL

I am really starting to notice changes..last night sitting on the couch all the sudden i realized that i had crossed my legs!! OMG it has been forever since that has happened! Things are going well with the eating...still working on eating slow...and stuggling a bit with liquids...I get close to 60 oz a day, but sometimes its an effort to get there. Life is great!!

5/1/06

what a ride this is!! today i noticed while standing i can see my feet! I have had quite a few wow moments lately...walking without getting out of breath, having tons of energy, finding my lost mojo! wooohooo...playing bball with my son and just feeling more confident! Its amazing! I am down 3.5 lbs this week and it amazes me. I dieted for 3 months at 1200 calories faithfully and only lost 3 lbs...Did I tell you that I love Dr Jones??? He is my hero!

My marriage is so much better, self confidence is a must! I feel like a kid again! I know everyone always says the only regret they have is not doing it sooner...WELL THIS IS MY ONLY REGRET!

I am having some issues...eating too fast, getting too daring...however all has gone well and I'm not eating things that aren't healthy. I am making good choices and when I want something i shouldn't have...ie: lemon girl scout cookies...i just lick it to get the flavor! Weird I know..but it works!!

I began this ride at a bmi of 48.2 now 6 weeks later my bmi is....40.7 this is amazing!

264 today!! woooooooohooooo I am almost at the weight I was when we got married!

Well it's been awhile since I've been here....I'm a month and 2 days since surgery and I'm down a total of 46.5 lbs from my highest in December and 41 since the beginning of March!!!! The beginning of the journey was not without bumps in the road both from wls and from personal issues, however I'm feeling better about myself and I'm blissfully happy and more in love with my husband everyday, we seem to have connected all over again. I feel like that young girl in love for the first time, butterflies and all! Amazing what losing weight does for your confidence and what open communication does for your relationship! My life is wonderful and I can't wait for each day to come to continue this journey. I know with the full support of my husband, my children, my family and my friends Tammy, Mindy, Cindy and Tatum and all those here at OH, that NOTHING will stand in my way and I will continue to succeed in everything I strive for. This last month has been some of the best choices I have ever made for myself!

xoxoxoxo

I finally have a date!!

Original Post by Ali M at 11:16 AM PST on 03/13/2006

 

What great support we have here at OH!~~

It is offical! I will be having surgery with Dr. Jone on Friday March 17th, yes I said Friday!! wooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo

It was a maybe as of last Friday so I have been on the liquid...I hate it and I don't wanna do it..LOL Yes I'm being good, how could I not be???

What a ride this has been...thanks to all of those who have been so very supportive!!!

xoxoxooxoxoxoxo

2/10/06 yesterday was a terrible day. It appears that the insurance company can not find my clinicals, "oh i am sure they are here, however sometimes with a large company we dont' always have access to all the systems" OMG it stressed me out! Phone tag between jill at UHC and barb...then jill going to see if she could find them, then at 4 pm..don't worry dont' stress, barb and i will take care of this, its' not a big deal. Well you could have told me that at 10am BEFORE it made me sick! LOL As usual I was polite and my sweet self..lol So today I am better, I had to give it to God. Even though I want my appt with the surgeon so I can get my Surgery date! I will be patient, I will not stress.

 

2/8/06

I am on the phone with the Insurance comp. I am approved but not approved...lol I am typing this as we

speak...

 

I am answering assessment questions

 

I have to speak with United Behavior Health for an eval

And she has to talk to Barb at the docs office...

She is done with me...she setting up a referral with UBH for

behavior evaluation - which may be waived after I talk to them and tell them of my other eval and support groups and she is calling doc's office. She says she impressed with my knowledge of the procedure and how things will change after...thank you my angels!!

 

So drum roll pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am offically approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I left Barb a voice mail to call me back

Barb just called me back�she is quick! However she can't schedule the appt with the doc until the ins calls and gives her the approval code. That is fine..if she doesn't have it by end of day today I will call Jill back first thing in the am. She said my doc consult wouldn't be until the end of this month and she isn't sure when surgery would be yet, I suppose things are crazy there with Dorothy(my nurse) being on medical leave and the new nurse just started�sooooooooooooooo prays and cross fingers please!

 

2/1/06 Spoke with Barb and she is going to take care of the insurance company needs as soon as she's done with clinicals this morning. She said all the info they are requesting was on the initial submission. So she is going to pull my file and get what they are requesting to them asap today. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i can breathe and wait some more! lol

1/31/06

The insurance company is incompetent�.

Now they say they don�t' have a procedure code, or my height weight or bmi�

Just found out my nurse is out on a medical leave indefinitely

Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I am holding for another nurse, why couldn't the ins co tell me this when I called Friday is beyond me!

I think i'm running out of patients!

1/30/06 Well i suppose no news is good news...or no gnews is good gnews with gary gnews....for those of you that are old enough to remember!!

Anyway..called the insurance company on Friday, still no decision, they say they have until Feb 27th which is bs...the longest they can possibly have the until the 19 but thats not a whole lot different anyway! So I will call again tomorrow!

Had a great weekend, went out with my angel friday night and spent the rest of the weekend doing family events! My friend tammy had surgery and I'm a little worried that she is over doing it. Other than that all is well....

1/16/06 Where to start?? Life is good even though I'm not getting my way..lol I received a letter from the insurance company on Friday that said the Doc needed to provide more info before they could make a decision...are you ready for this??? 1. Is this inpatient or out patient?? what??????? how can you approve a surgery if you know nothing about it???????? Oh well I'm learning my lesson with patients.... 2. what is the docs Tax number???????? Why couldn't they have called the office for these two little bits of info??? Oh well I'm learning my lesson with patients.

I think I am succeeding...well after my initial fit anyway. I know this will happen when it is suppose to happen and right now i'm not worried about it.

I can tell you this...I am feeling my age...or at least I'm feeling old which is a more correct statement. My oldest son, stephen will be 19 next month...when the hell did he grow up????? I have 3 boys Stephen, Zachary, & Nicholas. Ages 19/17/14 OMG I don't like it!! In 4 short years my baby will graduate too...then the empty nest??? guess I better get things figured out! I do love having the freedom to go to the movies, leave nick with zack over night..etc...as much as I love my husband..I dont' want an empty house...guess thats one more reason to have surgery...get fit and get active in what they like...what doyou think about a 41 year old learning to snowboard?? Zack says i have to learn to skate first..lol I'm sure after the first or second fall I'll settle for tubing ah!

I need prays for my friend Tammy, she has an interview tomorrow and the is a move she needs to make both mentally and financially. If you have a minute...keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

 

1/12/06 The old year ended with a wonderful night with my husband and the new year began quietly. I spent last weekend in IL with my family and friends. My dad and my grandma have been ill for quite some time and by the grace of God and therapy they are both beginning on the right path. Still a ways to go, but it was good for my peace of mind to see for myself that they were as good as can be expected. I also got to spend time with my brothers, sil's, nieces and nephew and bestest friends. I appreciate that every time i'm in town one of my brothers has a get together at their house so that i can see everyone without driving from city to city. I have to say Tammy and Lavonne are part of the family and not just friends. They are at all the events.

I haven't been feeling well since I got back from IL. Can't quite put my finger on it but there are several things going on. Weird things. I need to make a doc appt. My tongue feels like I burnt it and is cracked, still having issues with my index finger and I think my new meds are screwy. I have been really feeling depressed, anxious, a little paranoid, among other things. Time to get off this med! Oh well one day at a time. No word from the ins comp, thats okay cause i'm being patient and i still have to completely quit smoking. i'm in a mood so i'll stop here...

 

1/3/06

I called the insurance company today to check on my predetermination. They didnt' have the documents yet. Said they could still be in receiving, but I could have the docs office refax. I called and spoke with Dorothy and she said she would submit today if Barb didn't do it last week.

I am stressing. I have to quit smoking again. I need to do it permanently. However I think that the closer I get to surgery the more freaked I'm getting. I wish I could figure it all out. I know that this is the right thing for me to do. I know that not smoking is a necessity, if I"m going to lose weight to be healthy I shouldn't be smoking!!! Lucky for me I have such a great support group, Cindy, Christine, Tammy, Tatum, Mindy and my wonderful husband Kurt.

This is a new year and I have to make it work for ME. I am doing this for no one else but me.

New Years eve was wonderful, spent it with my hubby downtown and it was enchanting and relaxing. My Cindy B got engaged and her ring is BEAUTIFUL!! My Christine had surgery and is on the mend. My Tammy T and Tatum, oh my girls are bad toads and I love them! They are so so supportive of me and I hope that I can be the same for them. My Mindy is 600 miles away and always there to listen and kick my tail when I need it! How lucky can one girl be????

Zack and Nick fly home tonight, Stephen is living in IL with his father so I won't see him again until Easter. It is hard to let go even when your baby is going to be 19. uggggggh I hate it, but Christmas was wonderful with all of us together and that I am thankful for!

I'll post again when I know more about the insurance!

12/29/05 Well today is a great day! I have the best friends in the world! Cindy, Tammy, Christine, Tatum....an amazing group of friends, I am one lucky girl! I have a couple of friends that are struggling with life right now. I am praying that they find their way and find the positive attitude it takes to move forward. Depression is an ugly place to be. If you are reading this, please say a prayer for all of those in the world who are suffering.

xoxoxoxo

12/28/05 Well I am going to try to do this more often!

I called PNC and found out my nurse Dorothy is on vacation. Barb was so sweet to check and see if my psych report was in and if I had been submitted to insurance. Well half was...I am approved from the psych and Barb was going to submitt to insurance either yesterday or this morning. so i am really really on my way!!

12/14/05 Well i guess i haven't gotten any better at keeping this updated :o( Well i will just continue to try and be myself :O)

Yesterday I had my 4 hour appointment with the team at PNC. It wasn't at all what I imagined. I didnt' sleep well the night before worrying myself for nothing.

The everyone was great...the doc left a little to be desired in her bedside manner, but was professional and polite. She has also ordered that I have a stress echo done. So that will be completed on monday. The psych said I am NORMAL woooooooohoooooo I've had a few comments from the peanut gallery on that one! Yes tammy and cindy you know who you are! LOL My husband wanted to know if I could get it in writing! ha Andrea said she would if I wanted her to! Hell I'll just keep em guess :O)~~

I attended my first PNC group tonight, it was alot of fun!! I always love to hang out with Cindy and Michelle was there...damn she's looking great! Meet Wendy and some other very nice folks. Barbs a hoot and keeps everyone in stiches!

I am ready for this and ready to get my life back! I was thinking why did I wait so long?? Well truth is I wasn't ready before now. I am still nervous as I would be with any surgery, but I know I have a great support network in place and I have 4 very capable angels to keep me in line...what more could a girl as for????

xoxox for now :O)

 

 

 

12/16/05 I have such good friends and they just keep getting better! Christine; God Bless her; went home and baked cookies for my husband last night and then drove all the way to my house to deliver them. What a happyman he was! There are delish! We then went to a friends house for a jewlery party and Cindy B met us there....we have so much fun together! christine and I had a great talk and I realized just how absolutely bless I am to have made such great friends in such a small amount of time. It is wonderful to have people you can relate to and support each other no matte where you are in your journey. To have friends that have been there pre op and are paving the way post op is just amazing. I have watched them in their journey, the tranformation is amazing. I am truly looking forward to getting my surgery date!

 

 

 

12/27/05 Today is my youngest sons birthday. He is 14. Happy Birthday Nick!! He is in IL with his father so we will celebrate when he gets home. Its funny how I look so foward to the break from the kids, but after 2 days i'm ready for them to come home! Christmas was wonderful!!

My oldest son Stephen was home for 4 days. We celebrated Christmas Eve day since the boys had a 7am flight Christmas morning. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Nick and I made breakfast and woke his brothers up. We had a sit down family breakfast and the kids cleaned the table off. Then they sat together in front of the tree for pictures, not as happily as I would have liked but I got some great shots of the 3 of them. Then we did individual shots with the santa hat..my favorite! We took our time opening gifts one at a time so we could all enjoy it. ahhhhhhhh what a great time. We went to church at 4pm and my sister in law, her husband and the new baby were the part of the live nativity scene. It was beautiful. Then off to the my other sil for great food, fun, family and gift opening! What a great time!

Today I called the office to get an update. My psych report is in. Dorothy is on vacation so I talked to Barb. She is going to submit to the insurance company either tonight or tomorrow, so I am well on my way!

I am a bit nervous once again. I think its normal or at least i hope it is. I so wish that it were all past me now. I just want to jump ahead to the losing part..lol

Yesterday was tatums birthday so a group of us went to dinner at Bar Abline...nice place. It was great to spend time with Cindy, Christine and Jim my hubby Kurt and Tatum. It was nice to see Karie and the other girls from group. I can't think of a better way to spend time than with the ones you love and the friends that have become family. I am so very very blessed.

10/6/05

Well it's been quite some time since I've been here. :O(

There has been alot going on in life. Family health issues etc.

For a while I had to step back and wasn't sure if this was the avenue I needed to venture down. I had alot of thinking and soul searching to do. Well I did that and I am happy to say I'm back on the road to WLS.

I have however switched doctors. I attended the intro meeting for Park Nicollet on Tuesday and I am taking my paperwork to the office today. I am hoping (fingers and toes crossed!) that I will have surgery before the end of the year!

This site, close friends and especially the folks on the MN board have been my saving grace.

First my angels...yes I have 3, lucky lucky lucky girl I am!

Christine - amazing amazing woman! whew I love her! She is the Princess and full of inspiration, hope and love. Don't know what I would do without her!

Tatum - ahhhh the daughter I've never had, the self confidence booster I need. I love her too!

Cindy B - my newest angel...she to is an inspiration...anyone who can bake wedding cakes that aren't WLS friendly and not eat them...hello what strength!

Then there are my other friends from OH...Dayner Dee whom always needs a spanking! Lynn K..what a great spirit! Stacey H, truely amazing woman. Rebecca..OMG what a personality..she keeps me laughing. Without all of you I would have given up and accepted life the way it is. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Then there is my husband and best friend Tammy and Mindy. Mindy has been through the wls and is a great source for me...tammy is sounding board and damn it if she doesn't give my advise right back to me...uggh and my husband who supports me 100%.

okay enough for today...I will try to be better about this.

xoxoxo

 

 

8/12/05 well it's been just a little while. I dont' know why I haven't posted, guess there is alot going on in my head that I have to sort out.

the appt with lynn went well, I am 5'7" and weight exactly 300lbs...it is so unbelieveable for me to write that out. I dont' have to do the dietian..yeah! I am still trying to get someone close to home to schedule me for my psych eval...i am not gung ho and wonder why i'm holding back...that is the last thing i need to do before i schedule my teaching session. hmmmmmmmm I think it may be that I still wonder if this is going to work for me. I know from the research and all the wonderful people I have met from OH and renewal that it will and dr poppa baker has a fabulous track record, guess I just can't fathom how. I guess I have resolved myself to be this way...I know that I need to move forward and get myself HEALTHY! THAT IS MY GOAL

I have quit smoking and have not had even so much as a drag in..drummm rolllll 1 week!! wooooooooohoooooo but sometimes I sure wish I had one!

this weeks renewal was GREAT, dr drew was there and was very informative. went to dinner with christine and her hubby jim, my hubby and some of the girls from the meeting. It was a good time but boy do I sure feel old! lol Tomorrow morning is coffee time..wooohooo and then off to christines with dana so we can work on the clothing exchange for next saturdays party...christine is a very brave lady to have 70+ at her house...

More about christine on my next post...

Christine has been such a blessing for me..and is my angel! angel or princess not sure which is more appropriate!! I think it's both! It is hard to put into words how she has positively affected me. I will do that soon!

xoxox

8/5/05 woooooooooooohoooooooooooo my best friend tammy t is coming to MN for vacation!! wooooooooohoooooooooo she will be here sept 1st through the 6th...we are going to go north...ely infact for a long weekend in a cabin at the lake....ahhhhhhhhhhh everyone needs some r & r. I can't wait!!

8/1/05 three more days until my 1st appointment, I pray that everything goes smooth! I am having issues with eating...too much! I seem to be out of control. This i am being very aware of today forward. Looking forward to renewal tomorrow night and my hubby coming home...woooohooo!

7/31/05 today i am having a day. all i want to do is eat...but i'm not hungry...but i eat anyway...its not hungery i'm try to satisfy. My excitement is turning to anxiety...I am afraid i will fail at this...there is so much success that somewhere there has to be failure...and i am probably going to be the one in a million that fails. Yes this is silly I know...but none the less it is nawing at me. I know that if I follow the rules I will be a success. Can i follow the rules...YES...do I want to ...YES....do I want surgery...YES..then what is my problem? good question. I'll let you know if I figure it out!

7/30/05 I am looking forward to coffe this morning...didn't sleep well last night, I'm sure it was a combo of missing the hubby and excitement about this morning. Ann isn't going to be there this morning she is having some family issues, I hope all is well. She is soooooooo nice! I will pray for her and her family.

I am not a deeply religious person, but I do have deep faith. I know who God is and how He works in my life. I tend to fight Him. Give Him something then try to take it back. This I am working on. I have to stop worrying so much and give to God and He will carry me through. When I look back at my life, I see His work everywhere. I was told at 17 that I would never have children. My hormorns were out of whack and I had PCOD. Well here I am with 3 wonderful kids! My first marriage wasn't what it should have been...there was abuse and poverty, not the way I wanted my children to live. One day I hear the phrase.."God helps those that help themselves." Well that is exactly what I did. I got myself in place where I could raise my kids without the turmoil. I bought a house on my own. It was tough..very hard most of the time, but I did it with the help of God. He is wonderful! There have been many other times in my life where God has stepped in and I am grateful. I am a very impatient person, so I get frustrated when things aren't going I think they should. As I get older I realize that I am not in control and things do not go in the order I want them to, everything comes at the right time. Geeze you'd think if I know this, I'd be a little more relaxed! Well I am a work in progress! I'm off to coffee. Have a wonderful Blessed day! xoxoxoxoxox

Coffee was great!..well the company was better! I meet Christine, Dana, Lynn, Pat Dorthey and Donna. What a great group! I am so glad I went. I am, well my son and I, are going to st cloud this afternoon..I am looking foward to spending time with my son and meeting more wonderful people!

St Cloud was a blast! Everyone was so much fun!! Dayner..Go Vikes and Christine Hot Pink momma. Gwen was so sweet and Sarah was very giving...the other ladies were wonderful sharing in their journey.

7/29/05 Today is a new day and Friday!! wooohooo

I talked with my son yesterday and he had a good time, hard work and he's sore but all went well...i worried for nothing. Tomorrow I am going to meet the Saturday morning group in Eagan...yeah!! I'll finally get to meet Christine and Ann, they have been sooooooooooo nice!

This board is a truely wonderful thing....no one knows how a "fat" person truly feels unless they've been there. I don't feel judged or looked down upon and that is a GREAT feeling. Prior to coming to this conclusion I did notice at Renewal for myself and others the nervousness that comes from lack of self confidence or lack of self image...it's hard to see all the women and men who are post op and are THIN and believe that they've been where I am. But it is true...there are plenty of profiles with pics to prove it! I am glad that I have gotten over that fear...I am just as good as any thin woman!! THis i have to remember! ha ha

Spent the evening with my 17 yr old last night...it was nice...the hubby is out of town and my other two boys are in IL right now. Today is a good day. I am going to try to be concience of what I eat and why i'm eating it starting today. I know I won't be perfect, but I have to remember to get right back on if I fall off, no blowing it for the whole day, week, month etc.

Happy Friday Everyone! God Bless! xoxoxoxoo

It is Friday night and I am sitting here bored to death. Two of my children are in IL with their father and my other son is hanging out with his friends...the nerve of teenagers..lol I miss my husband
