Plateau broken!

Jun 10, 2011

I was so stuck. Ironically, I decided to get myself back to a monthly seminar and the topic was supposed to be plastic surgery. But the surgeon had to cancel and so the topic was changed to "Hitting a Plateau." How's that for the Universe speaking to me? 

Got a fill this week; broke my plateau and starting to be excited again. Also met a new lapband friend at the seminar to share with via email and phone chats. Again, thanks Universe for whopping me in the head!

24 pounds gone in 4 months

May 28, 2011

I haven't been very good at posting on my blog. Part of the reason has been that reading some of the comments and blogs that are so negative have not been very encouraging for me!

I know that I am SLOWLY getting in better health and shape. I knew going into lapband that it would not show results as quickly as bypass surgery. However, I do have my moments of frustration at how slow it has been for me. Yet, unlike diets, I have not gained weight!! This is a way of life, and I am slowly and surely beginning to adjust to that fact.

Giving up 24 pounds and 15 inches in four months is really a very good thing. I have to keep writing that to make myself believe it!!

5 days and counting.........

Jan 28, 2011

Tomorrow begins my REAL journey. I start my pre-op diet in the morning. I have friends praying that I will be able to mentally handle that part of the challenge along with the two weeks after surgery on liquids!

I vascillate between being excited and scared. I guess that's normal for anybody facing surgery of any kind.

Everyone keeps asking me what my "last meal" will be. That has sort of played a mental game in my head. I keep telling myself that it will be my last "fat" meal!

2/2/11 is my surgery date. Keep me in your prayers and let me hear from you!

Surgery Date set!

Dec 28, 2010

I have a date for my lapband surgery:  February 2, 2011. I am counting down the days. This has been a long journey just to get here. But don't do what I did last year and chicken out and have to start all over again because the time has really flown by.

Approved for surgery!!!

Dec 03, 2010

My insurance company approved my lapband surgery after we appealed their decision to deny me. The employees at Dr. Lord's office in Pensacola certainly know their stuff! Now I just have to wait to get on the surgery schedule. Hopefully, that will be in January.

I am taking my Mom on a cruise next week to Cozemel. Perhaps getting Christmas and the cruise behind me will give me a good uninterrupted start with my surgery.

Hurry up and wait.....

My insurance company denied my lapband coverage! But the surgeon's office is working on it by submitting some additional paperwork. I just have to trust them and pray that this time they approve it!
