Well today I start getting ready for my liquid diet which starts on Monday. I going to get the rest of the stuff I don't have, like my protein and water.
This is gonna be fun. I am past excited

Wow, here I am 5 days until surgery. The countdown is really on now. After this weekend no more food I like, but I know I would rather lose weight than to worry about the foods I really enjoy.
On Monday I start my liquid diet and protein. I really need to get on the ball this weekend to buy my vitamins and protein drinks so I have gotten most of the food that I need.

I only have two more days to work next week and then it's on. I am so nervous, I have so many things going through this little head of mine. Like will my head get smaller and I'll have the little chicken neck......lol (just a joke) but probably true.
One day I will be able to cross my legs, ride a bike, maybe even run. I got too much time on my mind to think so I'm gonna try to stay really busy this weekend.
I thank God for everything he has done for me and my family this fair......

Okay,
I'm straight now. I went for my pre-op appt. It was a piece of cake. Oooops forget the cake. But most of the stuff was done by the secretary who went over everything with me. Just had to get final weight and blood pressure, and then the doc answered all the questions I had. Even found out I can have those protein shots that have like 42 grams of protein and come in grape and fruit punch. Not the best tasting but they can be added to other things....
So I am just waiting for that day. I was so upset I couldn't even eat.

Oh and as far as the insurance with Blue Cross, my doctors office takes care of all of that so I good. And Misty at Chrias is the best.
I'll holler at ya'll later.
Have a good night.

 I am so scared I can't even concentrate on work. I have my pre-op appt today and I hope all my paper work is in order. I got lots of questions for the doc too.

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh sssssssoooooooo sssscccccaaaaarrrrreeeeddddd!!!!!

Okay is this something I should be worried about. I haven't received my approval from the insurance company BC/BS of Delaware and my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday 9/16. Am I getting all worked up for nothing or is this something Dr. Irgau's office handles?
Help me please....I'm pulling my little hair out

Hey Good Morning to everyone,

Hope everyone enjoyed the long holiday weekend. I did bbq's  and girls night this weekend and I am so proud of myself that I didn't have a relapse on those darn sodas that look so good.

I see my Doc on Thursday for my pre-op appt.
I did get on the scale this morning and was down 2 more pounds. I am really starting to get anxious and scared right now, but I know that this is the best thing for me and I think it's more because I keep looking at smaller people asking myself will I look like her, or will I look like this one or that one because it's been soooooooooo long since I as in a size 12 or 14. My last year of high school. That was like 26 years ago. I feel sooooo old....lol

I thank God for my supportive family and friends who are so willing to help me out in whatever way possible, even agreeing to go on this liquid diet with me for 48 hours.

Thanks and I love you all so much.
I'm gonna go now. I can't seem to stay off this sight. It is very addicting.

Good Morning,
Well I know I said I wasn't gonna post anything else until next week. But I keep getting comments about weight I've lost and I didn't really notice like that. I know my clothes were a little bigger, so I get on the scale today and wow to my amazement I am under 300lbs, 299lbs to be exact.
I have never in all my 44 years of life ever been public about how much I weigh but I am was so excited I shared it with the girl I work with, even had her weigh herself to make sure the scale was right.....

I know some of this lost is due to me being in the hospital but I have also cut out all sodas which was a biggie for me. I could drink a 20oz bottle for lunch and two 16oz cups of soda before I went to bed. 
 When I started in February on my quest to lose weight I was at a whopping 327lbs
I thank God for all of my new friendships and all those who are praying for me.

Ok so I call the doctors office today to get my pre-op appt. She ask me when my surgery date was and was I an add-on. So I guess you know at this point I look like this. She ask me who game me that date and I couldn't remember if it was the doctors office or PMRI, now I about to  because I got this far and now there's a problem.
Well anyway the good news. For some reason I have 2 files at the office because this my third time going through parts of this process. The first time was in 2005 when I had completed the whole process, the second time 2008 when they were charging for nutrition classes because that's what blue cross requires, and now.

So my pre-op appt is September 10, 2009 and I am really starting to get really, really, nervous and scared.

I'm notor too well and I'm also going through sugar withdraw..... But it's almost over and I'm gonna try not to post anything else until after this long weekend.

Enjoy your weekends.

Ok so this is the day I had a meltdown, breakdown, anxiety, whatever you want to call it.
It finally really hit me that one day really soon I will be smaller.
I really missing my baby girl who is in her 1st year of college and she's 4 1/2 hours away. I found out that I have advanced osteo artrithis which hurts so bad, and I have to walk with a cane. But the good news is after the surgery, I will be free from some of the ailments Praise  God.
I know that my life is going to change forever, but I guess it's all really starting to become a reality now.
I have so much support, but sometimes it just seems like I'm dreaming.
14 days to go....
