2 weeks out

Aug 11, 2010

Well I have made it two weeks from surgery.  Can not say it has been easy.  I havent cried this much since my mom died.  But I am trying to take things in the "Now"  and not look back or forward. 

This is an adjustment and I will make it work for me!

Dr. Appt 4-16-10

Apr 16, 2010

Weighed in today with a 3 pound loss .  March 18th- I was 293 and today I was 287 .  Not great but not UP!! :)

I only really started to focus on my diet starting 6 days ago.  So I cant complain!  The doctor told me today that he will not recommend me for surgery until I weigh 270 or less.  Which sounds bad but I know 30 days on the liquid fast I can drop 20 pounds.  My mind set this past week was great - however I am going away to Mexico in 2 days - to an all inclusive..... I am worried because I know I am planning to eat.  I am bringing my gym clothes and will be walking all week - I hope it is enough to offset the dessert buffett!  But I know I will be thinking I have to lose 20 - when I look at the desserts!  My doctor suggested I see a counselor who deals with binge eating.  He feels that any additional preparation can only benefit me.  I agree.  

I also saw the Pysch Dr this week.  He is sending in a recommendation to my insurance to allow me to complete the second part of the evaluation.  So I have to wait about two weeks then follow up to see if they approve the testing.  Looks like this is moving alot faster than I thought.  I have to get to 270 by the end of May if possible - then they will submit me for approval....omg!  nerves...  so maybe July.

Latest Doctors appointment - 4/1/2010

Apr 02, 2010

Last month I started  needed supplements of Vitron C and Vitamin D.  I was also tested for H Pylori and apparently have it - so I will be taking the treatment to resolve it prior to surgery.  

I saw the endocrinologist this past Thursday.  I somehow by the grace of God weighed in with a 2 pound loss - even after getting my cycle!  yikes.     But I still received a bit of a lecture that I am not taking the pre-op diet seriously and I am running out of time.   And it is a bit true because I have a family vacation planned to Mexico in mid April - so I figured I would not start before then.    But the Doctor's comment did shock me.  I feel like I don't have any idea of what the timing is! - especially given that there are so many appointments and things to complete before  Doctors office will even submit me for insurance approval...!    So running out of time!! what??  I am thinking I have months!  like not until August/ Sept -which should be more than enough time to drop 20 + if I do liquids starting in June...? oh well...

Today I had the first pysch visit schedule and the doctor cancelled the appointment.  Disappointing when it has been scheduled for months!   again oh well....

On Thursday 2/25/10 I met with Dr. Donald Hess of Boston Medical Center.  He was very nice and definitely calmed my nerves about making this decision.
