10-28-06.  i had my original consult with dr. on December 27, 2005.  me and my husband.  well, i knew he wasn't as serious as me, so I called the office and told her to put ME on the cancellation list.   a few days later she called me and said December 6th is open.  of course I took it.  the closer the better right?  well, on Monday, October 23rd i'm looking at the calendar and said 5 more weeks to go until I see the doc.  then on tuesday the office called again and said "there's an opening tomorrow, can you come in".  WOW.  i jumped at it.  i called in sick to work and went.  i had dr. dietician and phyc eval and they're sending in my paperwork this week!!!! maybe i can have surgery at the beginning of the new year.  

today is the January 30, I had my surgery on the 16th and lost 10 pounds the first week.  when i woke up from surgery i had a really weird feeling.  it felt like i had a girdle wrapped around my chest.  it felt like my stomach was in my chest.  i was scared to death.  i thought "oh no, what did i do". They kept me in the hospital for 4 days.  I had a lot of gas.  as the days went on, i cried every day.  about 2 weeks into this, i started feeling better and better.  my jeans are already falling off.  i am looking forward to being thin this summer.  

March 10- I haven't posted for a while because i'm too busy reading everyone else's post.  I am going to try and put some updated pictures on my site soon.  I still don't like myself in pictures but they sure look a lot better.  I've lost 33 pounds and have gone down a few sizes.  I feel pretty great but haven't started any excersise program yet.  I have made calls to several gyms and I am thinking of joining the Y next week.  I'm very shy still but i know i have to get out there and just do it.  it's been freezing out so i wont go out and walk plus its boring.  it seems like it's pretty nice out there today so maybe i will take a walk today,  anything is better than nothing. 

well, today is March 21st. as of yesterday, i've lost 37 pounds.  i am now in a size 14 jeans and are getting too big.  i went to the Fashion Bug today and tried on an x large shirt.  oooh, i looked sexy, but it was just a little tight so i put it back on the rack.  i am going to wait a bit longer.  i do buy one pair of jeans from walmart everytime i go down a size.  as for my work clothes, i wear elastic waisted pants and i am not buying anything for work yet.  i hate my job anyway.  i asked my daughter if she would take an updated picture of me.  i will put a new one on soon.  i still haven't started working out.  i'm worried about that.  i still feel the same in my head but i know i look better. it's weird.  i dont' know.  i don't know what else to write down so i'll be back soon. 

6-3-07 I haven't written in months but i finally had an updated picture of myself.  after 5 months.  last appt with my doc, i was down 44 pounds.  some people are down 100 by then but maybe its because i was a "light weight"?  i dont know but i do know that it is still a victory for me!  i feel so so much better and look great.  of course my belly is gross but in time.  i started situps and walk.  i am not faithful with excersise because i work 50 hours a week.  i have had no problems.  no dumping.  sometmes i dont chew and i  get sick but that's all.  i don't miss eating either.  so glad i had ths done.
