Weightloss

I have been over weigh for all of my adult life and part of my teen life. So I did something about it. this was the summer before and not even my high. This pic was in july and went I went to the doc in Dec. I was gulp 274lbs. I about died. I am only 4' 11''. So I did something. I wasn't happy which was making the kids not happy. On April 13th, 2010 I had a Gastric Bypass. And it was the BEST thing I ever did.

July 17,2009 265lbs?

May 20,2010 104lbs

I am Happy. I can do more with the kids. I look good, I feel good and clothes are cheaper and so much fun to buy. I have drawers overflowing with clothes now.

My appt this morning!!

We left a little before 530 and got down there about 715 over an hour before the Appt. So we went to Bob Evans and chilled. I didn't lose as much weight as I wanted. Since Dec. 5th I have lost 16 lbs. I thought I had lost more but I'm still happy. They told me that they wanted to talk to me after the Appt.

During the Appt. we did an activity. My table had to come up with a meal from Wendy's that had all the food groups. 1 table had to come up with just a regular meal and the other reg meal but potion control. The first table meal came up to 1080 cals. that is crazy. The 2nd table came up with a meal of 480 cal. Our table's meal came up with 500 cals. The differance between potion control and ours was ours had less fat from cals. Theirs was 21 grams and ours was 9. It was crazy. Then the lady talked for a half hour about excerizing.

After the meeting I went and talked to M who has helped me alot since I switched to them. She told me some good news and bad news. The good news was I could sign this paper. The bad news they wanted me to come back on friday for 5 minutes to hear the doctor talk to me about the Risk of Procedure. My doctor was there and she was the one that had to sign it. I told them I couldn't do it. It takes me 5 hours round trip to go there. Was there any way another doctor could do it since I was already there. After some bitching and complaining on the nurses part I was able to wait and see a doctor then. When I mean wait it was over an hour. But it is done. M said she didn't care how last she was going to be but she was sending my paperwork to Insurance for Approval. I surely hope third time is a charm. I am ready to be done.

I am beat. I did not sleep well last night. 2-530 maybe. went to work left at 11 came home slept for 2 and a half hours hard. packed. went back to work. did bad on my diet. had a piece of pizza and chicken wings. in my defence (i am human lol) pizza hut wings are baked. lol. You can tell i'm tired by the way this is.

Tomorrow is crazy. I have to be in Indy by 830 so my mom and I are leaving at 530. come back head over to work. leave at 430 for The Big One's last home game. My friend The Lunch Lady is coming. Then after we are heading to a birthday party. crazy crazy day.

If you want to go to the mall and walk for 10000 steps make sure to take your tennis' because if you walk in your snow boots your feet will kill you.

Weight!!

Since this here is going to be a big year regarding my weight which I am very happy about. I thought I would post here. Right now I am on a No carb/No sugar diet. I thought it was going to be hard, it has and it hasn't. I am a chocolate person during that time of the month and not having any, well its amazing my kids' are still alive. On Dec. 4th me and my parents went down to Indy for an appt with the doc. She was really nice and we talked over my options. Because I live so far away and have over 150 lbs to live it was decided that I would have the Gastric instead of the Lap-Band. With the Lap-Band I would have to go down to at least once a month for a year. I don't mind going down there but I even that's a little much. So we came home and on Saturday My mom and I took out all the bad stuff that I couldn't eat and the kids' wouldn't eat. I gave 4 bags to church and my mom took 3. Yes 7 bags of crap. Then we went right over to to the store and got what I could. In the first week of doing it I lost 10 lbs. In the last 2 I have lost 6. I am still very happy because a birthday(The Small One turned 7 on the 14th) and Christmas have happened. Really all I'm aloud to eat is meat and veggies, so it getting hold fast. All my paperwork will be submitted on Monday and hopefully we will hear shortly and get this surgery on a roll. I started on July 27th,2008. I am ready for it to be done. So my starting weight was 274 and today yesterday I was 258. I have started working out. I do yoga and strenght Mondays', Wednesday's, and Friday's. On Tuesday's, Thursday's and the Weekend's I do step aerobics and some other stuff on the Wii. I already like how my clothe are fitting me.
