I haven't posted anything on my blog for quite sometime. I thought I should try and keep this up-to-date.
I have completed month 2 or hopefully 3 of my visits with my PCP. November 20th is hopefully my last visit. At that point my PCP will write her letter recommending WLS.
If all goes well I will be approved and begin my week liquid diet 5 cans of low carb slim fast daily, on December 3. My birthday is December 12th so at least I will have a chocolate Slim fast.... Not exactly my husbands homemade chocolate sour cream cake with a delicious white frosting on it. (I am making that today so I can have some before the big day, plus I am craving chocolate cake).
I am scheduled for my laparoscopic RNY bypass December 17th. The closer I get, the more nervous I get thinking about the liquid diet and how I will react physically to it. I know there were be a psychological battle to win but it is the hypoglycemia that scars me and the weakness that may come that worries me. I fight with this already.
Overall, I am excited to begin my journey to get healthy. I am trying to set my mind that I am not doing this to get skinny (but maybe a byproduct) but to get healthy. I healthy weight that will allow me to kneel down to the ground and visit with a child. This is something I want to be able to do without such horrible pain (two knee surgeries) and to be able to get back up without struggling so much.

The steps are in motion...

I started the ball rolling with my surgeon consultation and dietician consultation. Now I have gathered all the information I have on my weight loss attempts and it is now in the hands of the insurance company. Now all I can here is the tick-tock-tick-tock of the minutes going by while waiting to hear if I am approved. My surgery is scheduled for November 26, 2007.
I weighed in at 247 at the surgeon consultation and I would really like to get down to under 140 but I basically just want to feel better and healthy. Numbers really don't matter as long as I am healthy.
