Surgery Date
I have just been reading my Daily Strength Daily peoples entries, but today I decided to make and entry. I have received my Surgery date it's May 23rd. My pre op appointment is this coming Friday May 19th. I had been thinking about having the Surgery for several years now. But I have been trying different things to lose weight all my life. But last year I tried Sensa and that's when I really started to lose weight , but I hit a plateau and was stuck and also it got expensive hard times. So I decide to step up my exercise routine and that help me some then an injury slowed my pace. I really started thinking about the surgery and I prayed about it and thought about it. My Kaiser doctor I have had for some years now left to go to southern california and I got a new physician, and I decided I would make a change in my life so I told him I was interested in having GNY. He told me that I needed to go to a class that would give me more information. I attended the class and it help me confirm that I wanted to go thru with having the surgery. I had already been losing the weight I started out last May at 334 lbs. C urrently i am at 283 yeah! When I decided I was going to have surgery I was at 314 lbs. at my first weight in a the Gastric Bypass Clinic my Surgeon said I needed to get to 288 before he would consider giving me the surgery. I have reached and passed my goal weight. I have to also thank Chuck Norris because I purchase a Total Fitness Exercise Machine which gives me a great workout every morning. Had all the test I was told to have and now it's a go. I called in on this past Thursday May 12 to get a surgery date someone cancelled so she asked if I could take May 23rd and I said yes. I am ready to make this change and utilize the tool I am about to get to make a change in my life. I have lots of support and I am Going in a positive direction. I am being more healthy and I am getting my Spiritual life in sync at the same time. I Thank God for giving me the opportunity to get my life in order and for all the blessings he has given me.

Hello all I am 5 days out from my surgery today feeling good just need to have a movement and then i will be very happy. Doc said there would be days like this do to the lack of food that i am eating. I have been up and moving today has been a great day. Got up early did some surfing on the web and have been out in the yard taking in the sunshine while my husband water all the plants and the dogs were running around int he yard. Did some walking yesterday more then the day before . getting ready to go out to laundry and sit for a while. Will do some walking when i get back home with my mother in law. Doc said no lifting over 10 lbs that\'s hard in my household but i am sticking to it until he says its ok don\'t want to injury myself. Meals are going well keeping to the menu diet is stage 2 looking forward to stage 3 in another week or so. Looking forward to getting back to my exercise so the weight can begin to melt away.
Today up early again feeling a bit sore was up and about yesterday but I know it is all worth it. Hope everyone is having a great holiday!!!
