Three years out this month (sleeved feb 2014), And i feel awesome - Havre De Grace, MD

So I started my journey back in June of 2013. My preparations have lasted through November 2013. This included going to support groups, visiting the Cardiologist, Pshychiatrist, Pulmonologist, blood tests, bla bla bla! So much work lol. My last objective was getting my EGD done, which was in November of 2013. After that, waiting a verrrrry long length of time for my insurance to give the final approval. But...im here, approved, and waiting for the day to get here- February 11, 2014. OMG, i'm finally going to lose this weight; long overdue!

Okay guys! My pre-op is next Thursday February 6th. Gotta lose some more weight lol. Unlike many of you i do not have to do a pre-op liquid diet. The Hospital that i am getting my surgery done at, Harford Memorial, does not do that. I don't know why but i am not complaining lol.

I can't lie, i do excellent at panic dieting. Every month when i had to go in to be weighed, i lost all the weight that i needed to lose within that week. Smh. So after all the waiting i had done for my official approval and surgery date to be set, i gained that weight back again. I mean it was only about 8 or 9 pounds, but still no excuse. My insurance only required me to lose 16lbs total before my surgery or close to it. So here i am, gotta lose back the 8 pounds and maybe a couple more before the 6th, so they don't postpone my surgery. Since this Monday, January 27th, I have already lost 4 pounds lol. That leaves about 6 pounds to lose in exactly 7 days...which, by doing my Tae Bo every night and teaching 6th graders outdoors every day, i think i can. My mind...has got to change the way it sees food!

Oh gosh my pre-op with Dr. Aurora is on Thursday the 6th, today is Monday, Feb 3rd. My surgery is next Tuesday omg!! I told you guys that i had to lose the weight that i had gained back since my last 3 month weigh in. I lost that back (7lbs), so now im trying to lost a little more before the pre-op so they see that there was progress lol. Procrastination at it's best, but i'm really not trying to have them push back my surgery, especially after all that i have been through to get here. My highest weight ever was 318..After my 3 month weigh in i was at 308 i believe, maybe 306. Then Two weeks ago i weighed myself at work, back up to 315, over the course of waiting for my insurance to give the final approval. Keep in mind, during MY waiting..Thanksgiving AND Christmas AND New Years passed lol! But i have redeemed myself and i am as of today, down to 308. So if i hang in there these next three days and lose about 3-4 more pounds..I should be good lol. Talk about wheeeew!!!!
I'll hit u guys back up, after my pre-op! Later Ladies
