So since the surgery I have lost 38.7 pounds as of this morning and 64 altogether including pre-op.  I cleaned out my closet this weekend and gave a ton of clothes away to a neighbor.  Sizes 26/24-20 are gone forever!!!!!!!  I feel great, I dont feel hungry much. I do need to work on making sure I get my protein in everyday, I have noticed some hairloss.  I have super thick hair though so I'm not too freaked out about it.  I also need to work on vitamins.  They still make me feel sick but they are getting a little better. 

Finally broke my two week stall.  Friday we went on an overnight trip. Took my son to a zoo and then shopping. It was so freakin hot and we walked so much I said if the it didn't break the stall nothing was going to.  I hadn't weighed for 2 days, so when I weighed this morning there it was!! YEAH......

I also broke 250 sometime this weekend. Goal 2!!!!!

I am feeling better and better everyday.  The first 24 hours were hell.  I threw up a lot, was nauseous the entire time and just felt awful.  I got through it though and feel pretty good. I get tired easily but I do have more energy than I thought I would.  The incision where my drain was is the only pain I have, and it's not bad.  I am having problems getting in all my liquids but it is getting better. 

I weighed 272.4 the morning of my surgery. 

Only a couple more days until my surgery on Monday.  I am on the two week liquid diet and then hunger for the most part has gone away.  Honestly the liquid diet is not as bad as I thought it would be.  I have lost 14.4 pounds in a little over a week on the diet though. 

I have one more week until my surgery.  I felt good on the liquid diet until yesterday and it was like I hit a wall.  I am hoping today goes a little better.  I went on the pre-op diet last a week ago tomorrow.  It's not as bad as I had expected, but I just hope I have a little more energy to make it through this week at work.  I can't wait until my surgery though!!!

My surgery date is June 22nd. I can't wait!!!!!

-278 Obese (Did this on 6/13 before surgery)

Now I'm just waiting for insurance approval which they said will take about 2 weeks.  I am pretty sure my surgery is going to be June 22nd though.  I can't wait.  

I just got my new treadmill yesterday, my hubby is putting it together as we speak.  I can't wait to try that out.  I walk a lot outside right now when I can but it's been cold and rainy the last couple weeks.  There have been a lot of times I wanted to go walk but I couldn't.  We were going to get one this Fall anyway so I talked him into it a little early. 

Today I had my appointment with my cardiologist.  I ended up having a stress test before I left the office which was really lucky they could get me in right then.  I AM CLEAR.  That was my last appointment, so now I wait for a date. 

This week I had my psych eval and the apppointment with the nutritionist and exercise evaluation.  I was cleared by all, YEAH!!!  I just have one more clearance left and that's from my cardiologist and I don't anticipate that being a problem.  I think more than likely my surgery will be June 22nd.  It could have possibly been sooner, but my work schedule is impossible at the end of May through the beginning of June.   I am so ready to do this.  My husband and I have been talking about reorganizing the kitchen cabinets so I can have room to put all my stuff in one place.  I also want to organize my closet by size so that is ready and I can just get rid of stuff easily  as I lose weight.
