I know it has been a long time since I have posted, I think I was discouraged for a while. I actually wanted to change my mind about the surgery, I am a worrier. I had to talk myself back into it, because it is the right thing for me. I finished all of my preliminary appointments and made it through my six month wait. My surgery date is 2/12/09, I know that is three days away, OMG! I have soo many mixed emotions right now it isn't even funny. I am excited, scared, ready, terrified, eager, anxious and many more! Most of all I cannot wait to meet the thinner person under all of this weight. I cannot stop thinking about all the things I will be able to do once I get some of this weight off of me.
I went to my pre-op class on Thursday and then I had my last weigh in which was really discouraging because I am only down 1 pound from my start weight in May 2008. I had quit smoking in May and went up a couple of pounds, these couple of pounds fluctuated back and forth all through my waiting months, I couldn't seem to get the weight off for nothing. On Thursday I felt like such a failure, because I had not lost the weight, they told me that I have until Tuesday (tomorrow) to take off a few more pounds. I have been on slim fast for two weeks and exercising twice a day. As of Sunday I am down two pounds, now I have to go weigh myself again. I am praying that they do not prolong my surgery, I have been working soo hard, I only wish I would have worked this hard earlier.
I am still very excited though because I know that I gave it my all! I am also having my tubes tied while in surgery so that I do not end up pregnant and stop my loss. I already have two wonderful children and do not want anymore, mine are 15 and 4. Talk to ya later.

Good news, since my last appointment I decided to stop making excuses about my small weight gain and started working out daily at work and eating healthier foods. I have since lost four pounds, which feels awesome. I really struggle with the weekends though, I find myself wanting to eat all the junk food and fast food I can. I have to stop myself from doing it. I am determined to keep these four pouds off and add to it if I can. Thanks for stopping by, have a great night!!!!!

Hello everyone-
I went for my third appointment yesterday and found out that I had gained two pounds in the last month and I am really bummed! I know it has something to do with the quitting smoking, but I also know I haven't done the best at making good food choices. The doctor put me back on track and I will be doing much better from now on. I cannot stop working at this no matter how difficult life becomes. Other than that everything is pretty good.

Hello everyone, I am doing pretty good. I just wanted to mention an issue from yesterday. I have this neighbor who is an on and off meth addict, he lives with his girlfriend (ex addict) and their four boys. They have an extremely disfunctional life because of his addiction and his anger problem. When he is not using meth, he relies on alcohol to get his high. He has beaten his girlfriend and his kids on rare occasions. This asshole decided to make a fat joke about me the other day. My husband just bought a mini-bike the other day and everyone was taking turns riding it, the neighbor made a comment that I wouldn't be able to ride it. My husband snapped on him and told him that he better never say anything about me or my weight again. I want so badly to go over there and lay into him and his loser non-working girlfriend so bad!!!!!! What gives them the right to judge me or anyone for that matter!!!! I really can't believe the nerve of some people.
I just had to get that off of my chest, I am obviously still pretty mad about it. I have been nothing but nice to those people even though I do not agree with their lifestyle I keep my judgements to myself. I know that I am not perfect and that noone is, so I try to keep an open mind about others. I don't know where they came from or what they may have been through. Anyways have a great day.
Oh yeah, It has been over two weeks without a cigarette!!!!!!

06/09/2008 Psych Evaluation
Jun 10, 2008
Hi Everyone, today was my psych eval and I think it went pretty good. I found myself opening old wounds and talking about them, which is hard. She was a very nice doctor and easy to talk to. She told me that she doesn't see anything that would stop me from having surgery, so that's good news. It has been eight days since I have had a cigarette and I am still doing good. This weekend was kind of tough as I had too much time on my hands. The people that live on my block party almost every night, once in a while me and my husband would go and talk with everyone but all they do is drink and smoke. We no longer hang out with the neighbors as a result but I don't really miss them at all. I am not in that stage of life, I did plenty of that while I was younger. Well, talk to ya later.

Today is day 3 with no cigarettes and I am doing pretty well surprisingly, my husband quit about a month ago and is very supportive. I have had my moments when I feel like a serious drug addict, but I just remind myself of how silly that seems and move on. I find that I need to stay busy so that I don't have time to think about it. I would love to hear other peoples stories about quitting if possible. So far I think gum has been my friend. I am really excited that I can smell everything much better and I can still smell my perfume hours later. Well talk to ya later.

Well I went in to see the Physician Assistant today and I have a 6 month wait for my health insurance. I still feel pretty good and I also quit smoking today. It has been rough but I am fighting hard. I am really excited to start a new way of life. I am taking Chantix for the smoking thing and it has been working pretty well so far. I moved up to the higher dose today and felt a little wierd but I survived. I am so glad there is a website like this for us. Do you like the background? I had my daughter show me how to do it. Kids know much more than their parents nowadays. I have my psych eval next week and I will post again then, goodbye fornow.
