I cant believe it has been so long since I have posted. Been a bit depressed and a bit busy here lately. I was finding that I was letting all the denial of the surgery getting to me. I felt like well if no one else cares why should I then I took a look around and said hello you lost sight of why you are doing this and it isnt for them or really any one else but you. So I pulled and pushed my way

Well got my letter today from the insurance and it denied me. I don't get it but you can count on one thing I WILL be appealing that bad boy. The thing that makes me so mad and hurt is the insurance company got the papers on 10/18 the letter of denial was on 10/18 now that is really researching what was sent to them huh?? I tell you what when I read that I was so upset 1 because I feel like I let

Hey just thought Id share this idea see if anyone else has tried it. You purree your food right then instead of putting it in a jar or container you put it in ice cube tray freeze it once frozen pop out into a zip lock baggie then you can make more choices and freeze them and not only that but they are the perfect 1 ounce portions. Because I was just gonna fix it and put it in baby jars but this

Whoever came up with the saying slow and steady gets the job done should be shot. The one thing you cant say to a woman weather waiting for a baby or waiting for date is slow and steady wins the race or patience. I have no patience and the slow is about to drive me crazy lol. Another great one I like is the best thing comes to those who wait. Well then that means we should all be in size 12 by

Well have finally found out why it is that I have been sick, nauseous and tired for last week. Went to have my "yearly" friendly visit with the doctor and they did the biopsy and found out that it came out normal but had an extreme UTI so now on more meds (and they make me tired to lol) cant sit up for long because then I get nauseous again, so just do it in spurts.

It was so bad for me because it is so final. I mean seems that now it is done and she is gone. I dont nor did I want to really have it where she was for sure it was over.

One can eat sugar other cant one can do dairy the other cant. I was like well good grief what do you 2 eat when you get together lol. So I figured it like this each program/surgery is different for each person. So if I want eat a certain

Ya know I was watching a show on Discovery Health tonight called "Big Medicine" they were doing the gastric bypass stories. They would start of course with the before then would go to the after. However, it wasn't so much all the stories that amazed me and made me search within and say "If this man can do this and have great outlook then what am I complaining about I can as well".

Well have to admit the slim fast isn't all that bad lol. Have found that if I have that first then my meal that I fill up faster and yet I get the same amount of vitamins and all. Even though my g/f says your not supposed to eat when you drink it (til I read it to her that said to mix and match your favorite foods when drinking it lol). My son has started school so that is a good thing because

Well went to my 2nd appt with the dietitian and well lets just say that it didn't go well. I found out I have gained weight I try to eat good and gain but lots of it we think is cuz of the swelling and water retention in my legs but still disappointing. I mean they want to see that I can loose on my own and when my body isn't cooperating how am I to do that :(. Man wonder if I can trade in this

I must first of all say I am so so so sorry it has been a month since my last post. I have been so depressed since the loss of my mama and then my g/f's sister in law passed away last weekend of August needless to say it has been quite a mess for me as of late. However, IMMM BACKKKKK. So watch out y'all are in trouble. LOL.Now on to the topic of this post-- Time flies--- well I say that half

Well seems like it is taking forever to get all this stuff taken care of but we are gettin things goin. I have had my first dietician appt and she said that if it were just from that one appt then she would recommend that I would have the surgery and that I had a great personality and great thoughts and am ready for the process. I was like woohooo but I still got 3 to go lol. I have to see her

Well I must say that through the sadness a blessing has come. Through my mama's passing I have had my relationship with my sister get greater and we talk pretty much every day/night. She is my heart she is like my best friend we can talk about everything and anything. I am so glad we talk there are so much that we have learned about each other that are the same as the other which is kinda funny

Wont be going to the funeral cuz I want to go when I can walk up to my mamas/daddys sites and say "mama your healthy daughter is here and I have lost a bit of weight" That is the one thing she always wanted was for me to have lost some weight

Well went to the psychologist today and talked to her bout that part of the procedure and she is sending in a letter that says she feels I am a great candidate for the surgery. I started crying like a baby lol. I can just imagine how I am gonna respond when they say here is your date.

Since having the surgery have you had or shown that you have had heart attack/stroke/diabetes or high blood pressure or has these things gone down on chances

They said for some reason my body is rebelling and holding all the liquids and not peeing it all out. So they put me on "water" pills and let me tell you this better make sure you got a bathroom near by when you are on

Well she was like well would do that but since I already know her on a personal level not sure if she could further it. So a bit of a hiccup but we talked alot about it.

OK first of all let me apologize because today has been a day of ups downs and merry go rounds. I have had emotions that has ranged from totally ticked to total tears to total elation. I have found that no matter what there are some people that you want as family that are not blood but they are the only family you do have. (if that makes sense). I have been so messed up for last couple days
