April 27,2005
I'm down to 190 pounds. that makes a total of 55 pounds loss
My energy level is very low and I feel very week at times.
Went to see my pcp and she checked my blood pressure it was 148/112 which is high so back on the blood pressure pills again
hopefully not for too long my pcp said a few more pounds and I should be able to go back off them.( I'm hopeing)
I know I shouldn't let it get to me but I work with a real um
Anyways I'm better then that and I know this I just have to learn not to let her get to me. Sometimes I wounder if there is anything that she likes when she looks into a mirror and I do feel sorry for her because someone as mean and nasty as she is must not be a very happy person. (she is 5'2" maybe 105lbs and blonde)thanks for letting me vent I feel much better lol smiles
May25th I'm at 185 lbs
June 16th,2005
I'm still off work right now because of my blood pressure and
feeling faint. Been having test done to try to find out the cause so far everything has come out good . Just confuseing as to why my blood pressure keeps riaseing and dropping the way it does.
On a personal note My baby girl graduated May 22nd and has been staying with me since graduation. My son also has moved in with
me the first of may. I have a full house and I'm loveing it !
My bf of 4 years broke up with me in April and is now living with a women he met in April while in Florida visiting his parents.He let me know he was going to NewHamsure to get her.
I been divorced for 14 years and that's pretty much the exstent of how my relationships go. I must admit I really loved this guy but I think deep down I knew it wasn't ment to be but it still hurts.
The great news is drum role please...I'm down to 178 lbs yey me !!!!
I took my daughter shopping for her birthday gift and we tryed on clothes. I was very shocked to find out I fit into a size large.
I mean a regular size LARGE no x'es !!!!!!!!
To celebrate I bought myself the cutest blouse. This is so
something to celebrate.
As to how I'm feeling I feel good most days but I do get light headed a couple times a week yet not sure as to what is causeing it yet. I had talked to another RYN patient and she is thinking it's my blood sugar dropping? I wounder if that will cause my blood pressure to be out of wack also. I'm going to start watching it closely to see if I can figure this out.
Thats all for now take care . Smiles
total weight loss 70lbs
July 5th 2005
I'm down to 175 Ok I've come to realize I'm one of the slow loosers but thats ok. Just as long as I'm loseing I'm a happy gal lol. I'm now following the rules of the pouch which is posted at bottom my profile.
Still haven't found out what's causeing my blood pressure to go up n down the way its been doing but hopefully soon I have a dr appointment tomorrow maybe find out more then.
Aug 3,2005
I'm down to 172 pounds and wearing size 12 Wow I can fit into a pair of jeans that I bought 4 years ago hopeing someday I would be able to squeeze into them lol now they are loose I love it!!!!
I'm loseing very slow now about 5 to 7 pounds a week but thats ok maybe it will help with the skin saggy thing which I'm happy to say ain't too bad for me so far.
I have started walking at the local high school track with my daughter (she's going through a rough time right now and I'm not sure what I can do to help her through it but I try my best guess
that's all a mother can do. )
I'm still off work because of my blood pressure riseing and droping all the time. I am feeling much better I'm beginning to think it's has something to do with the way my body burns sugars but I'm not a docter so not really sure but I do know that if I eat something when I'm feeling faint I snap right out of it .
I've been camping pretty much every weekend the last month and have discovered again how much I enjoy it.
I haven't went back to my surgon since the 6 week check up because for whatever reason the insurance won't pay the bill and it's 45.00 which I can't afford since I've been off work but I think everythings going ok I do see my reg dr every month and have B-12 shots and blood work done so I think it's ok.
As far as my diet goes I'm doing good staying away from the junk food but I will amit I do drink mt. dew . I'm eating 3 times a day
pretty much a cup per meal doing meat first of course and trying not to drink with my meals but it is a hard thing for me to do .
I do the power drinking water an hour before meals and try to wait to drink after at least 1/2 hour .
The summers going so fast ...........

<OCT.8th,2005
I'm down to 160 pounds.
Started taking my wellbutrin sr 200 mg tabs last week . I was starting to feel that ol friend of mine sneaking in. I have been dumped yet again Seems like the guy I was dating the past 4 months didn't have a clue I cared about him(wouldn't have sex with him till he was divorced which may be in nov or Dec.) so he moved on.
When I told him how I felt he said that he didn't know I felt that way that he was falling in love with me and was falling deeper everyday. Yeah right thats what I say if he was telling me the truth why'd he get on the net looking for someone else . Well like the story goes he had to make a choice between me and the one he met 3 weeks ago Guess what he said he said he was "in love" with me but he couldn't hurt her. He said that she had asked him to move in with her and he was going to. He said it was a wise finacial move for him that he had to get out of that appartment he was in. It was driving him nuts being there alone and he'd save money moving in with her . He sent me a email saying all this. He had his own room and chores to do everyday . Well guess thats that. I still find it hard I mean letting go of someone even if I know its for the best for both of us God why do men have to tell us they love us when they prove to us they don't ? I really trusted this guy. Hurting again ugh story of my life. I'm feeling very hurt lonely and confused right now I know it will take time to get over this but I feel so stupid for ever trusting him. tsrc="http://images.quizilla.com/C/cozmicstar/1102887423_igentloner.jpg" border="0" alt="me">
You're like me! The intelligent loner. You're shy
at times but friendly, and you are never weak
and always independent. You are incredibly
intelligent (wise beyond your years) and have a
talent for many things (sports, music, art).
You have a kind and warm personality and enjoy
the simple things. Like hanging out with
friends and watching movies at home. But you're
sometimes quiet nature makes you a bit of an
outcast and a mystery to people. No matter how
pretty you are or smart or athletic, you just
can't seem to break into the crowd and be
noticed. Don't worry, try to be more outgoing
and speak out when you have more to say. Don't
hide behind your books and sports and computer,
get out there and get noticed. You also have
deep desires in life and feel vunerable and
alone at times. Don't feel sad either, What
helps me to express feelings and dreams that I
can't say to people, is through my writting.
Maybe you should try.
What kind of girl are you? (with pix!)

You're just so so so Sweet! You're kind and love to
give others in need, a helping hand. You're
pretty shy but can be warm and friendly towards
those you know, and those who know you best.
Your sanctuary would just be any place that is
warm, cozy, and inviting to all people. You
love to show signs of affection to your lover
but a small simple talk does the trick as well
;) Sadly, your kindness can be used to your
disadvantage. People can use you, and take
advantage over your sweet and sensitive mind.
But fear not! With you being so kind and
generous, people look up to you and adore you.
No one would dare hurt you because they can't
bear the thought of your sweet smile turning
into a frown :)

IDEAL MEAL PROCESS (rules of the pouch):
1. The patient must time meals five hours apart or the patient will get too
hungry in between.
2. The patient needs to eat finely cut meat and raw or slightly cooked
veggies with each meal.
3. The patient must eat the entire meal in 5-15 minutes. A 30-45 minute meal
will cause failure.
4. No liquids for 1 ½ hours to 2 hours after each meal.
5. After 1 ½ to 2 hours, begin sipping water and over the next three hours
slowly increase water intake.
6. 3 hours after last meal, begin drinking LOTS of water/fluids.
7. 15 minutes before the next meal, drink as much as possible as fast as
possible. This is called "water loading," IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING OVER
THE LAST FEW HOURS, THIS 'WATER LOADING' WILL NOT WORK.
8. You can water load at any time 2-3 hours before your next meal if you get
hungry, which will cause a strong feeling of fullness.
You are a Hippie. Wow.

Hospital Reviews
Surgeon Info:
Surgeon: Wayne Vanderkolk, M.D.
my first thought was oh my he's so young! After talking to him I realized he did know what he was doing and felt more at ease. I had been waiting for dr Schoulten but his waiting list goes on n on was told Dr Vanderkolk worked side by side with dr Schoulten and is as good as Dr Schulten but no waiting list so I decided to go with him although I am still a bit nervious about it . He went into details of the surgery and complacations related with surgery ,aftercare. He stressed this was only a tool to help me and that the only way this tool would help me lose weight was to use it correctly. He and his staff would be there helping me throughout my journey that made me feel alot better knowing . He seem to be very concerned as to my seriousness about the surgery couldn't stress enough how it was a major surgery and not to be taken lightly .He also gave me a picture of what is changed or done through surgery. It's been over a year since that first visit so I'm sure I will be repeting this which is good because I now have many questions to ask him. Hope he's ready for me lol.
Insurer Info:
Blue Care Net.
Blue Care Network it took me TWO years to get approved. I kepted being denied because they require 12 consectitive months of doctor supervised weight lose program. I finally decided I had to go in person and face them face to face to get them to lesson to me. So the 2nd second step I went to the grievance panel and presented my case . I had been dieting all my adult life. I was at the point that this was my last chance in becoming a healthy person or I would slowly die from obesity point blank. I told them the only reason they were denying me was the fact of the "consectitive " months of doctor supervised programed in which I stated I saw my doctor as he had required. It was not up to me as how often my dr appointments were . The fact remained I could not lose this weight on my own without this tool and it was up to them to decide my fate it was only a matter of time before more health issues would rule to take this chance away from me in which I would no longer be eldgible for do to poor health. 3 days later approval came in the mail. I wished I would had went in person the first 2nd step grievance instead of doing it over the phone. I hope this will help anyone that is dealing with BCN.
