Ready...Set, Revision
Feb 26, 2014
Moved to Michigan in June of 2013. Everything was going great then in September of 2013 it all went down hill. 12/20/2012 192lbs, 07/27/2011 250lbs, and today 243.2 lbs. With all that said, my lapband has failed fear of slippage diagnosed with dysphagia, pre diabetes, and a new one high cholesterol. I have to do a stress test 3/10/2014 then preauth will be sent , hopefully in the same week. I will be going for VSG vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I hope to have surgery around March 17th 2014.I am currently on a mush, and protien shake diet due to my inability to swallow any food of sustenance. Oh yeah I am starting to have pains and heart burn related to my lap band.

1 Month down 5 to go
Feb 03, 2011
So today I meet with the dietitian and found out that I am Vitamin D deficient my number was 11 and it should be 32. I will be taking Vit D supplements for a while. My REE test shows that i burn just about 1500 calories a day without activity. I am burning what I am taking in ( yeah). I have meet with the Nurse and I am PCOS insulin resistant ( I knew this already). I now have 5 months left until surgery. It looks like i will be having my procedure in August. This give me just the right amount of time to develop new ( good) habits. I now will start my routine of walking more and learning how to chew my food at least 20 times ( that's going to be difficult).
