I will be 7 weeks out this week.  I have lost a total of 31 lbs.  Honestly I thought it would have been more by now, but I am content.  I am going to start swimming today.  Walking is too boring and I have not ben good at sticking to it.  I am still unsure if I am eating enough food.  I have been horrible a taking my pills and vitamins.  I need to get more serious about it.  I just forget to take them.  Overall I am doing good. I went back to work 2 1/2 weeks ago, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. 

I went yestrday for my pulmonary test, the nurse was so nice.  She had WLS 3 years ago.  She looked great.  She just said to make sure I take my vitamins so i do not loose my beautiful hair. I am a bit concerned about that.  My hair is a prized posession to me.  What's a girl to do?

So I went for my Upper GI & my sleep test on Thursday, the Gi was painless and quick.  The sleep test was HORRIBLE.  The nurse I had was so mean, I have no skin left on parts of my body from her literally ripping off all the tape.  I hardly slept-just was not a good experience. Anyways, I have been having doubts about my surgery.  I am nervous about the insurance approval.  I am currently 5'11 and 302 lbs, which gives me a BMI of 42.  I just have that bad gut feeling about the insurance process.  I am starting to get nervous about the surgery too.  I am 2nd guessing myself.  Maybe I should try another diet- go back to working out 7 days a week, but I know what will happen I will get impatient because I am not seeing the results I want too and I will give up yet again.  I think to myself are these feelings normal??
