I weigh 241as of today I can not believe I am almost under 240! HOLY COW!

245 pnds today yesterday I weighed 251! YAY I am super dooper happy I thought I was stuck at 250 and would never get beyond that! I am soooo happy and my bmi is now 34 I will take that over 52 any day!

Well I am for sure getting smaller and smaller by the minute, it is crazy to me. I am very excited about this for sure! Its like I can not believe just 4 months ago I weighed in at 366pnds and am now at 258pnds! I am very proud of myself and have come along way. I always said when I get under 250pnds it will be very amazing to me cause I have not seen that in a very long time. but I guess with in a week or 2 I should see it. So really that will be like a dream come true, Its like every diet I did I got to 250 or close to it and got comfortable and then gained alot of weight back. That is why it will be so wonderful to me. 

WOW today I weigh in at 308pnds! Yes that is where alot of you started from but not me! I started from 362pnds and I actually found a weigh in from last Oct. and I weight 366pnds! Sooooooooo 308 pnds is almost under 300pnds so that brings me where???? CLOSER TO ONEDERLAND! duh! but first I must enter twoderland! lol! Well I am happy with my loss so far and yesterday I weighed 310pnds while at the drs and I compared that scale to mine and they were the same! SO yay Hopefully by the end of next week I will be under 300 I will take 299! I am just sick of seeing 3's! ha ha! yay Jamie! Oh and if you look at my BMI now over to the left of the screen you may notice that I am ALMOST to 40! I was just over 50 not too long ago! yay! Okay I am done patting myself on the back! GO JAMIE ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY! lol! I dont even know if anyone reads my blogs but whatever and shit! 

Have a good day 

Well it is May 9th and I CAN NOT SLEEP! So in all actuallity it is May 10th cause it's like 2am! And I am almost exactly 1 wk post -op. I am still in some pain but each day I wake up and it is better! So time truely does heal your pain- atleast when it comes to bariatric surg!! 

Anyway this WLS is truly amazing! Each day I wake up and I weigh myself and it's like 5pnds less each day! What the hell!?? I love this it's like I need to hurry up and go to bed so I can wake up and be lighter!! lol! But seriously I am really touched by everybodys support of everybody on here! It really is like a family. It is very nice. 
-My fiance and I were talking the other day on my way home from the hosp. and he said to me Just think Jamie you just had done what some people fight to have done for years with their insurance comp. And you just went in and had it with no problems. And you know I thought about that and really it is true. What a blessing I recieved. I really didnt think I would get my WLS that easily. I thought I was going to have to fight and appeal but on the day of Jan. 2cnd 2007 when my work got new insurance from BCN and it became effective that day. I went to work and I pulled my PCP aside and I said listen now that we have better insurance here I need a referral so I can have WLS and he said okay and signed the referal and the rest is history. I met with the surgeon in Feb. for an orientation and like mid Feb. the ball started rolling and the funny thing is when I met for the first time with Dr. Kemmeter and I still didnt know if insurance would approve me for sure, I told him I was hoping to have my surgery end of April or sometime in May. and look what I got May 3rd!!! Wierd - I never would've thought! I dont think anyone I knew really thought I 'd go through with this and I also think they thought my insurance would not be that easy but it goes to show, just go into WLS with a very positive attitude and go with the feeling like I know I will have WLS and if for some reason the first attempt fails be prepared to fight!  It's still surreal to me that I am on the loser bench and my life is already and about to change so much more that I cant even begin to comprehend..............onederland is so close yet sooo far away! As of this morning I weighed in a 337pnds! SO I was like holy shit! and my pants are falling off me as I speak. This is awesome! I also made an appointment for next Monday to see a therapist because I know I am going to need some therapy. I obviously had an addiction to food and I dont need a new one cause I cant eat any more. So hopefully that will go well. I am actually looking forward to meeting with her, the therapists name is Jamie so she's gotta be awesome!!! lol! 
Any way I will update more later and as soon as I get my pics finished from the roll its on and develop them I will post some pics of me in the hosp!!! Those will be very exiciting pictures let me tell you!  Have a great day everyone!!!

Maybe I shouldnt post this , but seriously what did I just do to myself? I am in pain not unbearable pain but pretty damn close. I cant have narcotics cause I vomit them all up. (Ended up staying 2 days extra in the hosp. cause of that mess) So what do I get sent home with? Regular tylenol. and that does nothing for me. But I'd much rather take this then be vomiting up nothing and a little something all at once. Let me tell you that hurts! Anyway I know all this pain will end and I will be saying I would do this all over again in a heartbeat. But until then.......... the question remains! 
any suggestions would be great 
Thanks

Today I went to MMPC to see the nutritionist and they put me on the 2 week diet! I start tomorow So tonight I had "my last supper" I went to Olive Garden and had lots of alfredo sauce (my fav!) It was good but I am glad its over cause I need to become the person I know I can be, and that person does not involve fat! I made a friend today during the dietician pre -op group, her name is Faith. She is sooo nice and will be in the same Hospital 1 day after me for her surg. so that is exciting! Also I got weighed today and I lost 13pnds since my first appointment there so they were pleased with that. So If I loose another 20#'s before surg. then I will have a pretty good head start. 

Well I can not wait till I get my mini surg. vacation from work. Those people there are just horrible (not all of them, but enough of them) Oh and some advice for the overly excited love to tell everything to people kind of people:~ I WOULDNT DO IT!  Be very selective when it comes to people you work with because the ones that you think will support you sometimes dont, and really give you very unsupportive negative comments that you dont want to hear. Especially when they have no concept of what it is like to be fat let alone morbidly obese. So that is my advice to you given through personal experience! If I could go back in time and not tell people I would. But oh well you live and learn and it is not there life it is your own......
Well I hope you all are have a beautiful day!!!

Okay May 3rd 2007 is the BIG day! I am freaking out! But luckily it is only 2 weeks away so I wont have 2 much time to think about it! I had a dream last night that I had the surgery and the surgeon did it out of his house! Wierd! But anyway yay!!! Pray for me!

Okay I am frustrated with MMPC because they seem to take there dear sweet time when getting back to me on things, and also I have been told on 2 different occassions that I am missing things that my insurance required  even though I gave it to them on my first appointment!! Then I would have to tell them that no you guys should have that info cause I personally gave it to you. Then they would look and find it! Then to make matters worse I had to call them just to get my sleep study done because they forgot that I needed that, and when I called them the chick said Oh that wasnt scheduled yet??? I could just scream! But I wont. Dont get me wrong though every one so far is very nice. And I love Dr. Kemmeter. It just gets frustrating because you want to feel like they are right on top of your case------Any way I dropped off my Rx from the sleep Dr. saying that I am compliant on Thursday. So I called today to make sure they got my Rx (since so far somehow my stuff always gets lost!?) so I can get a date but I get transferred right into voicemail. So I left my message and did I get a phone call back?? No of course not! So now I have to wait all weekend hoping that Monday I will get my phone call! All I want is a date so I can start planning everything. I also am wondering about how long it ussually takes to get to your date from the time your insurance approves you. I was looking at others profiles and it seems like as soon as they got there approval they had surg. about a month later! So that would be wonderful. I am just very excited as I should be but It would feel so much more real if they picked up the pace a little. I just need to see the dietician and have my surg. C'mon people it shouldnt be that hard!!! They specialize in WLS they should obviously know what an important event this is in some ones life. Like I said its just frustrating cause I want my surg. and I want it STAT!!!

Well Thursday I go to the sleep Dr. to let him know how my C-pap machine is working then he records the numbers on the back of my machine to see if I have been compliant, then I guess he signs a Rx saying I use it and then I will have a date! Ahhhhhh! I just want my date damn it!! lol! I am assuming Monday or Tuesday of next week I should know when. I just want to have my surg now cause Summer is right around the corner and I need a head start ya know? I would love to be a good 50pnds or more thinner by July or something. Maybe that is unrealistic but all I know is when I diet I drop weight quick so hopefully the same happens after my surg. I am just an impatient person when it comes to weight loss. But I know only too soon I will be on the other side of this WLS. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated! 

Thanks
