One month after I started the soft food diet with no luck in losing, I decided to take matters into my own hands. So now I am back on Atkins diet and have cut my number of meals down to 3. This has helped me to start losing again.
My fears have been confirmed....things are going to easy for me. Nothing seems to make me sick and I can eat to much and not feel full. That means that this losing and keeping it off is going to be a up- hill battle. I would say the odds are NOT good that I make.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The losing has stopped. All my hopes are being crushed. Not happy.

My first weight in after surger was a success...lost a little over 1 pound a day. 21 days out and 24 pounds lost. Now I am releasted from liquid diet and go on soft foods.

I had a WLS in 1975 and that caused my Dr Pettine to have a few troubles. I was in surgery 4 1/2 hours instead of 1 1/2. I now have his number one spot as the "hardest one yet". All seems to be going well now.
I am a little worried that it might be going to well. I have not had any troubles at all!!! If it is this easy now, I am worried it will be to easy and I wont lose weight. Time will tell.
8/7/2006- Test are done....not sure of results yet. Bone tired today
After meeting with my Dr. Pettine, I feel more confident about getting this surgery dune and getting on the road with the rest of my life.
Have test done on August 7th. Still holding my breath a little that nothing goes wrong between now and then so surgery will happen.
Presuming that all does go well....I will have surgery done on Sept 7th of 2006.
All the paper work is sent out and will have my first consult July 21 with Dr Pettine from Ft Collins, Colo.
I am not nervous to have surgery, only nervous that something will happen to delay or cancel surgery. I want and need this so bad, both physically and mentally.....at the end of my rope, so to speak.
Just got back from my first visit with Dr. Pettine...he is a cutie! If all goes well with the upper GI test, he plans on surgery Sept.7, 06. I think that sounds like a good day to start a new life.
