I know it's been a while..

Nov 18, 2007

I just had my surgery on the 12th of November. I had to ask if they even did anything.  I've lost 25 pounds, but seemed to have slowed today. Little depressed about that- makes me feel like I was right- that I'm doomed to stay fat the rest of my life. (No one yell at me, I'm emotional) I'm doing everything that I was told and I don't eat more than 1/2 a cup- so I don't know what is going on. I have been drinking unsweetened tea with splenda and I really enjoy it- but I find myself gulping it...BIG mistake- hurts!! During all of this I get a visit from mother nature. I always do though when I lose some weight. I wonder what Nectar would taste like in my tea?? That way I would get my protein....might have to post and see what the people on the board think that have lost their weight think.  Well it's almost time for dinner- I'm having potatoes and carrots with a tiny bit of beef with fat free gravy....- yes...in a blender!!!  - ****ok just to add- didn't eat the beef- it was too stringy and I thought better before I even attempted it...

Submitted my Food Diary to Dr. 'Pitt'

Aug 12, 2007

That's right, I'm one step closer. I have submitted my food diary to Dr. "Pitt" Bender. [He looks just like Brad Pitt] I am one step closer to my surgery. I am drinking my protien shakes today. I keep telling myself I need to do this. It's taking me more than 30 minutes to get it down. I'm thinking about switching to Slimfast...it has a 'fuller' taste. I go see Dr. Hatter at the end of the month for what I hope to be my last Dr. supervised diet appointment. Not too much longer and we can submit to insurance!!

Blood work is back

I received in the mail yesterday a packet from Dr. Northup- Apparently my Vitamin D and Calcium are low and I'm anemic. I will pick up what he suggested to get at the store today. He gave me a prescription for it, but if I can get it at the store- then why not? I'm just about to hand in my menu for Dr. Bender and then he will turn in his paper work saying that he approves me.  Then all I have left is my regular Dr appointments with my PCP so he can monitor my diet...and then we should be able to submit the paperwork for approval!! We are getting closer and closer!! I'm hoping for a surgery date for about early to mid December!! Cross your fingers for me!!

Getting there...

Jul 27, 2007

Well I've been for my consult!! I go next week to my psych screening. I'm a little nervous about that. I know I'm going to cry, because I am depressed about my weight and I just don't feel well. I don't want them to think that I'm not a good canidate for the surgery. I WANT THIS! I do think about when I get the surgery am I going to mess up and not follow the diet. I'm messed up so many times before. Let's face it I'm addicted to food...if I wasn't I wouldn't be fat! 
      I finally met my Dr. He's super nice! He even remembered me emailing him! Probably because I did it a lot!! I had questions and his email was on the web...so why not ask him? Well it's 4:10 in the morning and I'm at my second job. I guess I better get off here and actually do my job!!

Xoxox-
