Working toward Doctor's assigned goal weight: ZUMBA!

 Weigh-in = 188. Doctor set goal weight of 130, so I got some work to do for the next six months.

 Being more busy doing things I have not done in decades! The little things in life are great to be able to do again! As of now, really glad to be at 189 range and dropping. I have a 6 month follow up in early September.

Been living better post op and feeling better too.  As of today, I am glad that I have gotten below the 200 mark. September will be my 6 month post-op appointment, and looking forward to even better health. Protein + Vitamins + 64 oz of liquid + exercise is the formula.

Highest weight = 297, day of surgery = 252, today = 198.

  It has been three months, and I had my post-op check up and blood analysis done. All is looking great! 218#. A1C is  at 6.0, down a whole point. Lipids are all in a good range too. NICE; happy-happy-happy.

Since I began at 297 and through the rocky roads of it for surgery date was 252! Today's weigh in at 232.

 January 30 2013:  I met with the Nurse to get the information, scheduling, and the most precious surgery date.

Surgery Date is February 27, 2013.

South Sacramento site, since I live in the area.

Blessed Mess!

Once again, I have worked on getting the pre-op weight requirements fulfilled DONE. I have figured it out. I was loosing about 3-5 per week, then there was Thanksgivings holiday and I really did not gain until December. As of today I am back down to within one pound of weight goal for a surgery date. All pre-op testing and classes are done too. I was ready in November, and waited until December now, and calling to find out the actual date for surgery tomorrow. Never give up!

I had to do a few more test which seemed to be time moving by extremely slowly. I tried and kept things in perspective and managed the emotions which can make you start eating what is not on the list.

I keep looking at the calendar and it looks like, for me not until early next year for a certified surgery date.

I moved back to the thought of WLS at the beginning of the year. Was reading a lot about health and nutrition on the internet and books. Eventually, I got to the point of hearing a little voice inside me saying, "ENOUGH" and it kept getting louder.

It is time for me to have a change and my turn.

I am so tire of the weight and all of the mental and physical drama that goes with it.

My sister said, ask your new doctor about WLS, and after thinking some more, I did.

I went to the orientation I and orientation II, and I still want this after all of this time. I thought I could rationalize it away, but it did not work. Kaiser still has "the rules" but I cannot go on like this, so I submit to them.

October 9, 2012 I see the Bariatric Psychologist.

I am de-tox'g and watching the caloric intake (1200/day), and yes exercising 2 x a day for 15 minutes. The dietitian says there is no way you cannot loose with 1200 calories/day foods. The surgeon says to make an appointment with yourself for exercising since you do not like exercise.

Three legged chair... exercise, nutrition, and surgery must work together for the rest of my life. So be it!
