10 days into 14 day liquid diet for pre-op!

Feb 17, 2007

I am only five days from surgery now.  It has been such a long road.  I really wish I had found out about this website sooner.  I have enjoyed reading the profiles so much!  I am so excited about all this!!!  I have lost 59 pounds so far!  I have surgery on the 21st with Dr. Voellinger.  I am having Lap-Band.  I have RA and my doctor didn't want to do bypass because of the immunosuppression due to the medicines for the arthritis.  I'm fine with that since I was so nervous about vitamin deficiencies anyway.  I think this will work well for me.  I'm wearing a size 22 right now, but can't wait to be in 18 again!  I know I can do it...I've been waiting long enough.  I have the best support team ever!

     Please, God get me through this!  He always gets me through everything.  I will put my faith in You Lord!  I lift up mine eyes unto the hills...my help comes from the Lord!!!

     Please make everything come out okay!  I am scared!  I say I'm not, but I am.  My six year old son needs his mom.  I want to be here for him his whole life....I just want to live, healthier, happier, slimmer, fitter!!!

     I'll update soon!

     Keep me in your prayers if anyone is out there!
  
My weight today is 290, down from 349  on Sept 8th!
My ultimate goal is 170, but I'd settle for anything in the 100s!!!

Til next time, 
Christina
