I AM WORKING TO GET A FEW MORE POUNDS OFF BEFORE MY TRIP TO JAMAICA. JULY 4TH I WILL BE HEADING TO THE ISLAND. I CAN'T WAIT. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A AIRPLANE THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE SCARY, BUT ITS NOT GOING TO STOP ME.

WEIGHT LOSS IS SLOW BUT IT IS GOING DOWN. I WILL GET TO MY GOAL. I WANT TO BE DOWN 7 POUNDS BEFORE THE TRIP, AND UNDER THREE HUNDRED BY AUGUST. WANT TO SET GOALS THAT ARE REALISTIC AND I CAN ACHIEVE WITH HARD WORK.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

Next week I'll be six months out. Down 50 lbs. So good so far. It's comeing off slow, but that's the way I wanted it. There are things I could be doing better, like exercising for one. But all in all, I'm doing good. Wednesday I have a dr. appointment. I think I well get a small fill to see how my restriction is . Now I can eat more that a cup of food, but I try to stop myself, before I eat to much. Will see how much I'm down at 6 months. My goals was 10 lbs a month. I want hit that but, hopefully 55lbs. That would be great.

I need to blog everyday. I'm not doing my best right now. There is little to no exercise. And that has got to change. Just per laziness and it's all my fault. Not drinking all my water. It's hard to get that much water down, when you have never have before. I forget to take my vitamins sometimes. I can say that is getting better. I had my first fill on 01-16-08, and already I know that I need another one. My food choices haven't been the best. I think sometimes its in my head. I eat my cup full and a hour later i know I'm not hurgery, but my head is telling me to get something else to eat. I gonna pray that i get this thing right. I can't afford to mess things up.

I'M OUT ALMOST 4 WEEKS NOW, AND DOING GOOD. I DON'T HAVE ANY RESTRICTION, SO I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY FIRST FILL. I HAVEN'T LOST ANY WEIGHT SINCE I BEEN ON SOLIDS. I CAN PRETTY MUCH EAT WHAT I WANT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN STUCK A COUPLE OF TIMES, DUE TO NOT CHEWING WELL ENOUGH. I DO NEED TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES IN FOOD. I WORKING ON IT.

I HAVE HAD THE SUREGERY. 5 DAYS OUT AND DOING WELL. I THINK I'M PULLING ON THINGS TO MUCH BUT EVERYTHING IS GOOD. I HAVE LOST 20 LBS FROM MY HIGHEST WEIGHT. MY FIRST FOLLOW-UP APPIONTMENT IS NEXT WEEK, HOPE I HAVE LOST A LITTLE MORE. I FEEL GOOD

Well I have less that a week to go. Friday is the day. I can hardly wait, but I will. Nervous, a little scared, and very exited to start a new life. I pray to God to help me work the band and keep me safe.

I GOT A CALL ON FRIDAY FROM MY DR.'S OFFICE, STATING THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE MY DATE, BECAUSE THE DOCTOR IS GOING OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE TO SAY I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THE DATE WAS PERFECT FOR WORK AND THE HOILDAY SEASON. IA CHOSE OF HAVING IT EARLIER OR WAITING TO AFTER THE NEW YEAR. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR. OVER AND DONE BEFORE THE NEW YEAR STARTS. NEW YEAR  NEW BEGINNINGS IS WHAT I WAS AMING FOR. SO DEC. 7TH IS THE NEW DATE. WHICH IS LIKE 3 WEEKS AWAY. I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS, BUT I GUESS THATS NORMAL. 
THE START OF A NEW LIFE.

  I GOT THE CALL MONDAY ABOUT MY DATE. 
THEY COULD HAVE PERFORMED MY SURGERY EARLIER, BUT ME NOT WANTING TO TAKE TO TO MUCH TIME OFF, I DECIDED ON DEC. 21ST. I HAVE TWO JOBS AND IT WOULD BE EASIER TO HAVE THE SURGERY DURING THE TIME I WILL BE OFF ANYWAY. IT'S A GOOD DATE AND IT WILL BE HERE BEFORE I KNOW IT. I'M SO EXCITED.

WEDNESDAY I FINISHED UP ALL THE PRE-SURGERY ITEMS NEEDED TO GET A DATE. I JUST WISHED I KNEW ALREADY. BEING ANXIOUS AND EXCITED ALL AT THE SAME TIME HAS GO MY MIND SPINNING. THIS IS A GOOD THING. IT'S GOING TO HELP ME ACCOMPLISH LOSING THE WEIGHT AND KEEPING IT OFF.  

I JUST CAN'T WAIT.
