2ND SUPPORT GROUP
Aug 15, 2008
LAST NITE I WENT TO THE POST SURGERY SUPPORT GROUP. IT WAS ACTRUALLY MUCH BETTER. SOME TRAINERS CAME IN FROM FITNESS WORLD AND SHOWED US SOME GOOD EXERSIZES TO DO WITH A BALL AND A BAND! IT WAS NEAT. I AM DEFINATELY GOING TO FIND ME ONE OF THOSE BALLS AND A BAND! AND START GOING TO THE GYM NEXT WEEK!
THEY ALSO HAD SOME PROTIEN SAMPLES THERE AND I TRIED LIKE 2 OF THEM AND THEY TASTE LIKE SLIM FAST! YUCK!!!! BUT I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TRY SOME OTHER ONES. I HAVE MY APPOINTMENT WITH THE NUT NEXT MONDAY AND MAYBE SHE CAN GIVE ME SOME IDEAS!
SO EVERYDAY SINCE MON AUG 11 I HAVE BEEN LOGGING WHAT I EAT. ITS GOING OK BUT SLOW, I CANT WAIT TILL I KNOW THE FOODS SO THAT WAY I CAN JUST KNOW AND WONT SPEND 2 HOURS LOOKING IT UP ON THE COMPUTER. THATS THE ONLY DOWNSIDE. WELL ALL MY APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE FOR THE PRE-SURGICAL BUSSINESS. SO ALL I HAVE TO DO NOW IS LOSE 30LBS, AND QUIT SMOKIN! SOUND EASY ENOUGH RITE? WELL I WANT THIS BAD ENOUGH I'LL DO IT!
IT REALLY STINKS THAT THERE IS ONLY A SUPPORT MEETING ONCE A MONTH 
. PEOPLE THAT DONT HAVE SUPPORTIVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS NEED THIS. WHEN I AM WORKING WHICH IS EVERYDAY I LIVE ON THIS WEB SITE JUST TO LOOK AND PEOPLES BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES AND TO READ THIER STORIES. IT MOVES ME ON JUST HOW AWESOME IT IS AND THAT IT COULD BE ME SOON TOO GLOATING ON HOW MUCH WEIGHT I HAVE LOST.
THANKS TO EVERYONES STORIES, NEVER STOP WRITTING! IT INSPIRES PEOPLE.
First Support group...
Aug 13, 2008
Well I got my blood draw yesterday and they took 11 tubes from me! wow ! and I also did my EKG! so there is 2 things done! Next week I have my Xrays and stuff.
I am having such a hard time to motivate myself to do some exersizes. When i get home i just dont feel like goning for a walk. I have a membership to a gym and they are only open 7-7 so that sucks! On the days that i have to work 7-5 it doesnt leave me much of a choice on time and when i get out of work im starvin. so i just dunno! Anyone have any ideas let me know. So yesterday i caved and had an icecream, what a bad choice, today i have had one soda, a sprite.... GEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME I KNOW I SHOULDNT HAVE THAT STUFF!
AND I GOTTA QUIT SMOKING AFTER THIS WEEKEND I AM DONE!
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY SURGERY BY DECEMBER! WOULDNT THAT BE AN AWESOME CHRISTMAS GIFT TO ME! I HAVE BEEN RECORDING MY FOOD INTAKE FOR LIKE 3 DAYS NOW! WHAT A PAIN THAT IS. BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT WHEN THE NUTS TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD BE TAKIN IN FOR CALORIES EVERY DAY INSTEAD OF GUESSING. I AM SOO EXCITED TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO. IF I WORK ALL DAY BY NITE MY HEELS HURT SOO BAD. I JUST KNOW THAT IT HAS TO BE FROM MY WEIGHT.
I GOT SOME OF MY RESULTS BACK, SO IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE I AM IN THE PRE DIABETIC STAGE.... UH O I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE REST TO SEND TO THE NUTS AND GO FROM THERE. I HOPE THAT 2MORROWS SUPPORT GROUP IS BETTER!
THANKS FOR LISTENING

First Nutrition class
Aug 11, 2008
. Yesterday i did not have anytime to write any thing. In january of this year i quit smoking for 6 months, then just all of sudden in july I picked up a cigarette and started to smoke. NOt one of my best choices but now i gotta be smoke free for six months. 
So now a another challenge I have created for myself! To make matters worse i used chantix the first time and it worked but when i went to try it i felt aweful all day. I slept for like 16 hours and just felt so sick, so I have decided to do it cold turkey! Yesterday i went to go and see the nut and they showed me the how much sugar, salt, and fat was in stuff! let me say OMG! So here comes the the other challenge NO SODA AND NO CAFFINE! I 'm gonna die. but I have been 2 days without soda!
so yay me! Now the next challenge finding what i need for nutrition value! Does any one know where i can find that? well i gotta get ready for work!
NEW PAT ORIENTATION
Aug 06, 2008
Well Yesterday i went to the new pat orientation. It was just another bunch of useful information. I really didnt see anyone that i knew there. which was depressing. I really thought that there would be more people like me getting ready for this surgery.
Well I have all my appointments for what i need to complete before surgery.

I AM SO VERY EXCITED. I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE ALWAYS LOOKING BEHIND ME WONDERING IF SOMEONE WAS MAKING FUN OF ME OR MAKING SOME UNCALLED FOR COMENTS. I DIDNT PARTICIPATE IN ANY SPORTS UNTIL I REACHED HIGHSCHOOL AND THEY STARTED A VOLLEYBALL TEAM. MY FRIENDS WOULD ALWAYS BE SO HELPFUL AND TELL ME I WAS BEAUTIFUL AND I HAD GREAT HAIR, EVEN MY DAD WOULDTELL ME THAT I WAS BEAUTIFUL. SO THIS IS NOW FOR ME AND MY KIDS! I RECENTLY WENT TO FUNTOWN AND WENT TO GO ON ONE OF THE RIDES..... LETS JUST SAY I COULDNT RIDE THE BELT WOULDNT REACH TO LOCK ME IN. AFTER THAT DAY I HAVE FELT AWEFUL AND DONT WANT TO EMBARESS NE ONE LIKE THAT AGAIN INCLUDING MY SELF. THIS IS THE BEGINING OF MY NEW LIFE, AND I CANT WAIT TO GET STARTED!!!
