I have been obese for as long as I can remember. I was 12 years old in an 18 and by high school I was in a 26/28. It was depressing. I could have never imagined my life this way and now at 28 years old I am taking control and going to live the rest of my life with no regrets.
I met with Dr. Alan Saber on August 4th and worked my self to death making sure I scheduled every appointment and did everything possible to complete the pre-op testing.
My paperwork was submitted to Anthem BCBS on 9/2/11 and I was approved and scheduled on 9/13/11.
My surgery date is 10/5/11 and I am very excited. I have been working really hard to get under 331lbs. Since my initial consult with Dr. Saber. I have lost 12 lbs. I have 19 more to go and I am certain the liquid diet will get the job done.
I quit smoking and will be a quitter almost one full month on the day of surgery. No going back because I control what goes in my body.
I have been working out religiously doing about 1-2 miles per day 5 days a week. I am so determined and focused. I need a fresh start and this is the jumpstart I need to make some of my other dreams come true. I want to be in school full-time and that takes courage to leave my full-time position and work toward a better future.
I am excited about being fertile thats so important and going to be so surreal. Never had any hope of having a child at my current weight, Its all so amazing. Cant wait to update you guys on the other side of surgery/Post-Op!

Today I weighed in at 315.9 or 315.7...I cant remeber because I was so excited. I haven't seen 31? anything in such a long time. 5 remember being 347 not too long ago and would refuse to step on a scale unless I was in the doctor's office. So cheers to me and my success by cutting out the sugars and carbs!

Midnight tonight I will be eight days from surgery and I can't wait for the day to come and go. I dont have a scale at here at home so I don't know how I have been doing this weekend. I ate only two meals this weekend and still maintained my low carb diet. I didnt get a chance to walk this weekend and that bums me out. I cheated and overate some snack cheese and turkey so im feeing a little guilty but i think i did ok calorie wise. Cant wait to get to work tomorrow and see if ive lost anymore weight! Wednesday I will be a week away from surgery and I will modify the pre-op diet to a complete liquid diet hoping to get under 300lbs by surgery date!
