Memorial Weekend
May 28, 2012
All went well kids had a blast, and I have a nasty sunburn. Everything was going great, until the chair I was sitting in gave way under me, I cried so hard when I got home 
. I have never broaken a chair before would not have been so bad if it happened at home, nope had to happen in a public place.....

Got my sleep study done, was that just weird thankful for that sleeping pill,I will have my results for that in 2 weeks. My thyroid checked out normal, my last nutrition appointment went well my last one is on June 25th. Then finally I will meet with the surgeon and have everything submitted to insurance. I can say a long ride but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank God for May!

Very busy month for me which is great because it makes time go faster, Had my tsh and fasting glucose done and results were normal. Mother's Day, My 8 year marriage anniversary, My Bug turns 2, sleep study, and my 5th nutrition appointment. Now this is what I'm talking about I am feeling the need to keep myself even more busy to keep my mind occupied between now and meeting with the surgeon. My excitement is coming back and still worried about the insurance thing but trying not to be.
Not so optamistic today......

I had my 4th nutrition appointmet today which went well she is super nice. But when reviewing the weights that they needed there maybe a snag, there are 2 that put me at a BMI of 39, and insurance might be really sticky with that. Then also along with that was my Dr. referral, which stated I'm not a good candidate for surgery at this time. Well what kind of referral was that? I mean this is cclearly not what he had discussed with me if he felt that way why wouldn't he tell me this instead of sending that. I had talked with him that I will be doing the 6 months with a nutirtionest to see if I tweek my meals, see if there are other underlying issues I am having with my weight and getting it down to a healthy one. The only thing I can think of is that I had picked my own place of where i wanted to go other then where the one in the clinic I'm not sure. But with my weight fluctuating the way it has should show it is an issue with me 2011 my Weight was at 227 lbs this is what was recorded on here and my BMI was 39. something now 2012 I weigh 242 lbs and my BMI is 41.9, if this doesn't show that I am strugeling with this then I don't know what would. My next appointment is with a sleep specialist to see if I have sleep apnea or if it is anxiaty realted for why I'm not getting enough sleep. I knew things were going abit to smoothly with this. But thank God I have my sister-in-law she has an amazing way to make you get back on track.

I have but only 2 more nutrion appointments, and to see a sleep specialist left. These 6 months were going by fast now it slowed down, in my mind, I think because they scheduled them towards the end of the months. But feeling more and more excited, had the talk with my husband about the changes in life that were to come that not only impact me but everyone around me. I had a recent Dr. appointment for bronchitis and seen that I gained about 7 pounds in a month and a half, illness and kids I didn't have the time to go to the gym and it showed on the scale. Anyway this is all good to me, I do have a question about how people change after loosing all this weight. Does it really happen or is it just in their personality?
I had a friend that had her surgery last year and she looks great, now she is getting out of her house her boyfriend takes her out all the time now. We used to get together everyother weekend chit chat and let our kids play they were like family. Now that had changed in the past few months we never talk never see eachother and it had gotten to where the only time they called is if they needed a sitter for their kids. So the last time she called I had said no im sorry but I can't I have my hands full with 5 of my own children and I'm tired. Well I tell you this was twisted and distorted in ways incomprehendable and is totaly not me. This was turned into oh she is just jealous because she is still fat and that was a blow so hard it made me cry it's like really not too long ago you were where I am right now not once have I judged you because I know how it is. It makes me rethink the 9 years of friendship really friendship at all? Are you really saying this to me when I took your children for a week so you could have this surgery? Wow i don't know if this is her true personality or if she needs to humble herself.
Sigh.........

I felt like this guy at the Dr.'s office today, I had gone in because I have been having a lot of problems with my knees and I needed a referral to a sleep specialist to find out if I have insomnia, sleep apnea, or just anxiety is the reason why I only get no more the 5 hours of sleep IF I'm lucky. Turns out well not too much I can do about my knees he recommended physical therapy, I thought that was for injuries or past surgery maybe I'm thinking wrong, and I can not get a referral from him to see a sleep specialist like I was suggested by the bariatic psychologist to do, instead he has a referral for me to see a neurologist to interview me and get his opinion whether or not I need to see a sleep specialist. How annoying I thought to my self I knew tings were going a little to smoothly. I felt like sticking my tongue out at him and having a fit like my 2 year old lol. It s okay I will do what I have too to make this happen for me......... I will continue my quest to better me with a smile on my face.
Great day!

I can't wait to enjoy my children's energy and share it with them, going to the beach in shorts instead of jeans and t-shirt, to enjoy dancing again with my husand and our alone time together. I miss being able to enjoy things rather then seeing them as a chore. I want to be able to work out at the gym and actually see results. It's like getting a new start at life, I hate getting my hopes up too much because I still have to have it all approved by insurance. POSITIVE thoughts bring me POSITIVE outcomes, this is what I keep saying to myself.I know the first weeks will be tough changing diet and cooking seperatlly for myself but that's okay I love to cook anyway, my husband will be there for me every step of the way proud that he is on my side and wants me to be healthy and feel better about myself. Next friday I go over my results of the behavior assesment, then the following week another date with the nutritionist. I made my goal to quit smoking, eating off small plates, no drinks 30 mins before or after meals. The hardest one for me which I find odd is having something to drink with my meal but it's a work in progress, I allow myself a sip of water, just I don't know why that is so hard not to want to do. any suggestions to help with it would be great.
Just a thought

Well things are falling into place, I have taken my time and tried so hard to do it my self only with unsaticfatory results. I have my testing done today at 9am, which is keeping me awake I don't have any clue why, maybe excitment that it's one step closer. I will have one more appointment with the psychologist to go over the test results, then 4 more nutrition appointments, finally I will meet with the surgeon hopefully get his appoval and have everything submitted to insurance and wait some more. I pray that all goes with no bumps in the road but it is expected nothing comes easy especially when it is worth it.
