I finally have broke 240.  I am at 236 and the weight is coming off SLLLOOOOWWWWLLLLYYYY.  Driving me insane.  I am working out, I have been tracking my food, and eating between 300-500 calories a day, protien in the 90's, and hardly any carbs.  I am not sure why it is not falling off faster.  If you have any insight let me know. 

On the positive side, I just bought my first pair of size 18 jeans.  Not womens, but Misses.  That is a very good feeling.  I just wish the scale would budge a bit faster.  I seem to yo yo.  Up and down. :(

I am three weeks out and have lost 30 pounds.  Apparently that translates to a 2 dress size loss, from a 24 to a 20.  I have not been below a size 20 in about 15 years, so I am pretty excited to lose the next ten or twenty pounds.  In a way, that in itself would be a success.  I have been stuck in five pound up and down dance for about a week now.  Not good.  Messing with my head.  Once I break 240 I will feel much better!

I am six days out and have lost 13 pounds since surgery and 23 pounds since I started the preop program.  It is amazing to see that scale go down down down.....

December 8, 2008!  Whooo Hooooo!

I finished my last step, the support group meeting.  I went to the coordinators office to make sure that it went through and they sent me up to the surgeons office on Thursday.  I am now officially playing the wait wait wait game.   I need the surgery soon, before there are any other road blocks!  HURRY UP AND WAIT!

I finished my psych eval last friday.  Support group next saturday and I am ready to go.  NERVES!  LOL.

I have done three steps so far,

Nurse Coordinator appointment
Nutritionist Appointment
Support Group Meeting.

I have my psych eval next week, and one more support group...then its off to the surgeons office!  Its all happening quick!
