    • About Me

      8/25/08...........I am on my way to Gastric Bypass Surgery early in 2009!! I started the process in July of this year and need to work through the 6 month waiting period, where I need to see a dietitian and be on a medically supervised diet for 6 months as an insurance thing. So far so good! I have been spending a lot of time researching the surgery and talking to friends who have had it done and am certain that it is the choice for me!.......................... UPDATE.. 1/15/09.. I got the insurance approval.. woot!! .. I am almost there!!!......UPDATE 1/19/09 ... Surgery date is set for 2/18/09!!! ..................UPDATE 2/20/09.......................Surgery went great.. and I am feeling good!!!

    • Interests

      Anything outdoors! I love hiking, biking, walking and camping out! I am looking forward to venturing out and broadening my spectrum of interests as my energy level increases and I am physically able to do more. I have sleep apnea, which a lot of you have as well. It's a vicious cycle that I intend to break with the surgery. After surgery, I will lose the weight, get better sleep, which will make me less tired, which will help me to be more motivated and be able to get more exercise and feel and look better than ever!! WOOT!!

      From wittch November 14

      Thanks for the suggestions - I think that is one of the frustrating issues right now - I never really feel like eating anything and when I do, all I think about is how much protein it has in it.

      I made cabbage rolls the other week and ate them for 6 days straight - yuck!!

      Thanks again!!
