That puts me down to 361.6 pounds. I have lost over 30 pounds in the last month. Not bad.

Weigh in this morning had me at 370.2 Thats per Weight Watchers. -8.6 in a week. Not bad. If i figured right from what I weighted at Drs. office last week I am down to 363.6 pounds. A total of about 64 pounds.

I know I should go by one weight,but it's gonna take me some time to get that through my thick head. So I can honestly say I have lost between 56 and64 pounds

According to Dr. Hipps ofice I'm down to 372.2 pounds. 22.8 pounds lost. I'll take it. I am on soft food for the next 5 weeks. Then move to solid stuff.

Everything is looking good. The only thing I can't handle right now is banana. I'm sure there will be more. But no bananan anything.

I went to Weight Watchers today,main;y for support,and of course to weigh. I know I have a "special" diet to follow,but the 2 programs are about the same.

Anyhow,WW's scale weighs me about 4 pounds heavier than at Dr. Hipp's office. As of this morning I lost 20.2 pounds. Am at 378.8. I know when I go to the Dr's on Wednesday it will be a little more.

It feels good to be a loser!!!!!!!! LOL

I am currently at dad and mom's house for the next couple of days. Surgery went great. Dr. Hipp was pleased. I was hurting and soar quit a bit Monday and Tuesday. But once they gave me a different type of pain medicine things started getting better.

I got nauseas a couiple of times,but it was where I drink my broth to fast,or ate ice chips to fast. Never vomitted. So I keep reminding myself to take it real slow.

I am feeling much better today. Go back to Dr Hipp's office nezt Wednesday to get staples out. Can't wait to see how much weight has come off.

Terri from Dr Hipp's office called me Tuesday afternoon. My surgery is schudled (sp) for this coming MOnday,10-29-07 @ 9am. My CT scan I had last week showed everything was ok,and no "surprisees".

I called my husband after I hung up with Terri, and told him. He was floored that is is so soon. But I look at it this way.
By Thanksgiving I should be back on my feet. We have a shopping trip planned for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I should be able to do that this year with little to no problems. Plus I'll be able to help out with all the cooking and cleaning this year as well. AS well as taking my son to look at Christmas lights at the villiage and walking it.

My surgery was postponed (sp) due to the fact when Dr. Hipp got in there he found I had a bowel obstruction. It had come to a head,and if it was left untreated,I would have had some serious problems,even died from it. He corrected it,and said that He just felt safer to take care of that first. We will reschedule my WLS within the month.

I am glad he caught the problem. I wasn't having having any pain,swelling,vomitting etc. and Dr Hipp was surprized.

But at the same time,am upset. I know it all happen for a reason. But it still hurts.

And I will be on the loser's bench. Still not nervous,but more excitied. Gotta pack my bag. We will be staying with my parents for a few days after I come home. Since we live so far out of town,figured it would be easier,if I needed help somebody would be right here. This will be my last post on my blog untill I get home from hospitial,probaly Wednesday or Thursday at latest. I will see if I can get Stephanie to update everybody until then. Thanks for all the support and prayers. May the losing begin!!!!

4 days and counting to a new me. Meet with Nut. and Dr. Hipp yesterday.My pre-op test turned out ok. Found out though,I'm boarder line diabetic. Surgery and weight loss should correct problem. I am down to 391 pounds. That's 36 pounds lost since I was there in May. Know I will lose a little bit more between now and Monday. Have got a lot of things to do before Monday. Will post more later.

Had pre-op yesterday. Walked my feet off. From what the techs could tell,all my test where normal. Started my pre-op diet this morning. The first couple of days are going to be a killer. But We can do this. 11 days and counting.
