Last 20 pounds!!

Aug 12, 2009

Well as of yesterday I have lost 64 pounds including 10 pounds preop. Now it is time to lose the final 20 pounds. Hopefully by my 6 month appointment with Dr. Hodge I will be at goal and maintaining!! I am off all my meds except Zoloft and my cholesterol is within normal limits. Will get bloodwork in October to see if everything is still okay. I feel so much better and I do not regret this at all.

Finally all things have been done and my surgery has been approved. My big day is April 22. I have to be at the hospital at 5am and my surgery is at 8am. My preop is April 16 and my liquid diet starts April 12 (Easter Sunday ) I have to say that this has been a long and very time consuming process but I feel that it is going to be worth it.

 Weigh in with PCP today and down 5 lbs. WOOHOO. They want me to lose 10 lbs because my BMI is between 39 and 40 but I do have several comorbidities. Well I am half way to the weight and my nutrition and support groups are scheduled and my psych appointment is tomorrow!! Things are moving along quickly.I'm on my way!!!

Went for my consult on 7-9-08 and things went well. I have to have a psych eval. and attend a nutrition class and a few support groups but all of my medical tests have been preformed. I do however have to do the 6 month supervised diet which started on the 10th. I go to my pcp next week for the first "official" visit but this will take me thru the holidays and I am looking at mid Feb. for surgery. My BMI is 39 so I only have to loose 10 lbs in 3 months and maintain that loss for the remaining 3 months. I am pretty sure I can do that but I am going to the beach in Sept and I WILL eat crab legs. I figure that will be the last tome that I can really enjoy them without any regrets. Well I nust go work on my food journal. TTFN

Switching surgeons due to insurance problems. Dr. Kramer is referring me to Dr. Watson and Hodge in Johnson City. Now I am gathering all my medical records and waiting for my pcp to get my appointment. Hopefully things will go smoothly since Dr. Kramer has already done the upper GI and EGD. I am going to call my gyn and get a order for mammogram and my pap results. All I can do now is wait......
