Hello again, Well I finally have some dates to post and a guesstimate for a roundabout date for surgery!
I have the Nutrition Seminar on 8/23, then meet with the nutritionist one on one 10/01 & 10/29. I meet with the phycirtaist on 9/19. I have to meet with Dr. Johnson after all of these other meetings. So I am thinking around December in which case I will hold off until after the 1st of the year.
I am so glad that I have these dates now at least I have them to look forward too instead of waiting not know what the next steps will be. Just need to call the doctor to see if I need referrals for these appointments.
It is way to hot outside. I sat out for a while yesterday and got SUNBURN..... Ouchie... I went and got some Aloe and put it in the fridge. It feels good and cold when Fredo puts it on!
Well I am off... Hi Mom and Dad I love you Both

Hi.... What a dreary 4th of July that was. lol Still no smoking. Alfredo quit too. I have a feeling he will go back to it. I hope not. I called the Center today and asked what is my next step. Kelly said she mailed out a bunch of letters and I should get mine next week. I can call then to make an appointment. I cannot wait. Let's get this thing going.... I bought a book that was referred to my by a friend. It looks great. "Eating Well After Wright loss surgery. It tells you how much you can have of each recipe it breaks it down depending on the type of procedure you have weather it be lap band or bypass. I am looking forward to sitting down with this and checking it out. I will keep you posted.
Ok well I have things to do... Be well Be safe Blessings always... Hi Mom and Dad I love you Both!

Hi... Well it is day 2 of not smoking. It is not as hard as I thought it would be. The Chantix helps a lot. It it more grab out of habit. I am drinking a lot of water which is good. I am trying to replace the drags of a smoke with a sip of water. It is so so so far.
Had a beautiful meal at my parents yesterday. My loving husband and Dolce Mom and Dad and my uncle it was a perfect afternoon. Thanks again Mom and Dad I love you both!
Well I have a few things to try to do. My foot is killing me I can hardly step on it. I am not sure what it going on with it. I did not step on anything that I know of to cause such pain. I am just a mess. My pain level as of late is about a 8 on a scale 1-10. It is constant. No relief even sleeping. Something has to give I have an appointment with the Orthopedic doctor next week.
Well take care be safe and be well. Blessings L xo

Happy July! I am hoping that I hear something this coming week about the next step I need to take to get that much closer to a date!
My hips and legs are killing me. I think it has something to do with my sciatic nerve. It is bad in the morning I can hardly move. Yesterday I cried on the shower it hurt just to stand there. I cannot stand for a long period of time. Hell I cannot stand for a short span either.
Well again Happy July! Be well Be safe and Blessings always... xo L

Good Morning... It is going to be a hot one today. I am going to get my hair highlighted @ 10:00 today.
I went to see my PCP yesterday. All went well. We went through the paper work and got everything filled in and faxed over to the Dr. Johnson's office. She is sending me for some blood work just to see where I am at at this point so we can compare it later. I weighed in and was not as heavy as I thought. I was 286. I thought I was a lot closer to 300 than that. Like 296. So I did not gain 20 extra since weight watchers. I gained the weight that I lost plus 5 pounds. Why do I feel like that is good? When in fact I still gained 46 pounds back. I am thinking " Oh that is good I did not gain the 60 ponds I thought I had. I ONLY gained back 46. Shaking my head. It will be great when this weight roller coaster is over and down (in weight) is the path.

Hello! It has been a day or two. I went for my ultra sound for my gall bladder this morning. I was so excited. How silly to get excited over a ultra sound. It is the first step to becoming closer to a surgery date! When the woman was doing the ultra sound she told me I have perfectly shaped kidneys. I laughed and told her "It has been a lonnng time that anyone ever said I had a perfectly shaped anything" lol.
Hubby has been working non stop hours. I admire his get up and go. God Bless him and keep him safe.
One week from tomorrow I quit smoking. I start the Chantix tomorrow. I am loosing all my vices. Smoking then eating.. WOW talk about starting a new life. I cannot wait to NOT smell like smoke! I hate that smell.
So life is moving in the direction I wanting it to. Life is good, and getting better day by day.

Happy 1st day of summer! Wow I am looking so forward to next summer when this weight is lifted (at least some of it) Not only for the really cute clothes (yes that is a plus and not plus size) lol But... no more sweating like a pig. I HATE to sweat! Anything I do that requires any real movement makes me all clammy and sweaty! I do not like it at all.
We are having a family wedding in September and I have been on the Internet looking for a dress. I found a few but I have to wait and see what is going on with the follow ups before I purchase it. Won't that be exciting to wait and see what size to buy!
So many things to look forward to and some many blessings in life!
Well that is it for today. Hi Mom I love you! Be well and Blessings always L

Hello! I have been reading profiles for what seems like hours. I feel like a sponge wanting to absorb all that I can. I do have a concern that if frightening to me. HAIR LOSS! Does it grow back? Do you loose it all?
Thinking about it my hair has always been my crowing beauty (to me at least lol) I mean it is not my body that is for sure. So this is a concern to me. I know it seems trivial compared to all the good that will come from the surgery. But it is my HAIR! lol
Well I just want to write this out loud. Be well Blessings always

Good Morning... I called this morning to schedule my ultra sound. My appointment is June 23rd. I see my PCP Monday the 25th so all is moving along. How exciting!
Yesterday could not have been more perfect. We had a sensational time. The company was wonderful, the food was never ending and beyond delicious. It was the perfect day to sit on the deck and take a swim and enjoy the day with "La Famiglia" (the family)...Thank you all for a beautiful day!
Well I am off to work... be well and blessings to you

June 17, 2007 Fathers day... Going to a cook out
Jun 16, 2007
Happy Fathers day. I am going to a cook out at my Brothers. I am going to tell the family of my decision to have surgery. They are wonderful and supportive, BUT I wonder if will they think that this will be another failed attempt by me to loose weight? It is a shame to even think this but I am sure it will come across their minds.
My Brother and his wife are incredible. I adore them both so much. My Brother and I now share the kind of relationship that I always craved and it is so beautiful! My sister in law is angelic. She is the sis I never had. Love you Sis!
Well I am off to bake the cake for the party! (lol this is the way to make a cake... Bake it and take it to a get together and leave it there. This way you get a taste but the whole cake is not here calling your name)....
Have a beautiful day!
