 Got sleeved  this morning. Feeling alright. No nauseousness, just the gas but pain medicine is helping with that. Able to walk. Waking up from surgery was rough and painful, i threw up and was in pain and was questioning my decision. That all subsided and i feel surprisingly ok. 

Today was my last pre-op appointment with my surgeon and i did my pre-admitting as well. Feeling so many emotions. Its finally here. Wednesday morning ill be sleeved. Such a long journey. Thanks to everyone for the support. Any tips????

Finally got approved!  October 15!!!!

Sent off eveything to insurance. Now we wait for them to approve me. 

I got cardiac clearance today. Tomorrow is my pulmonary efficiency test. Monday i make my last appt to get clearance from pulmonologist!!!! First week of October supposed to be having surgery!!!!

Cardiology appointment in the morning. Curious what they'll be doing at this appointment?!?

I see people comparing themselves to others... 300 lb woman at 5'1" is gonna lose differently than a 300 lb woman at 5'9" ... my mindset is to use my tool properly and live life. I will not step on a scale everyday (i refuse to buy one). I understand i will not lose eveything right now or even a few months down the line. I feel the whole "instant gratification" and "obsession" issues are what got most of us in this situation in the first place. For me my job is to worry and work on proper nutrition and getting my head right. I don't feel there are any "tricks" to this process. If "tricks" worked we wouldn't be obese. The "tool" restricts consumption. So coming to terms with the fact that exercise and proper nurtrition is what works with or without surgery is like a brick in the head for me. I know i need to get this right otherwise some time down the road ill be cursing myself for "allowing"  it to happen again. That's why i am so grateful i had to do weight watchers!  I have learned so much about food in this program. Knowing what a serving is. How to prepare and cook food at its healthiest state. Knowing what  works for my body and what doesn't. I eat so healthy now that when my inner fat girl acts up and eats unhealthy fatty greasy processed foods my stomach totally disagrees with my decision (this has happened twice in 4 months). The cold reality is that after a year or so we WILL get hungry again. So if you still put poor choices in your mouth regularly even tho its a small amount and you won't gain from it eventually youll be able to consume more. The hunger hormone will start producing again. So if we don't change now then in the long run we are doomed.

Since switching to a different medical group I have more requirements. Aug 28 I have to see pulmonologist. Sept 2 I have my first appt with PCP and they will send out the referral to be able to be seen by my surgeon. Sept 4 I go to see cardiologist. So Sept 4 all my requirements will be met. So we wait for referral to come back for surgeon and then that day surgeon can submit my request for surgery. I just hope this all goes smooth. I am so ready to get this surgery done and get on the path!! 

Today the love of my life called our relationship off. :( he was a huge positive impact of my life and my goals. This totally came out of nowhere and my heart is so broken. I feel so incredibly sad. 

Had my psych eval. Passed that and they cleared me as a candidate. Found out Aug. 1 my surgeon stopped accepting my medical group. I had a choice to stay with my PCP and get referred to another surgeon or to change my medical group that my surgeon accepts and get a new PCP. I was so lost didn't know what to do. I decided to change PCP, my surgeons office referred me to a PCP theyre familiar with. So now I have to wait til Sept 2 to get my new patient appointment and then they have to refer me to current surgeon. Was totally bummed about the entire thing because I was supposed to submit everything on tuesday Aug 12 to insurance for my approval for surgery. I chose to stay with my surgeon because I feel comfortable with him and his staff. I had already done the seminar and support group with them. I didn't want to get a new surgeon and not feel comfortable then be stuck. Only thing about my new medical group is now I need to see a cardiologist. Tomorrow I see the dietician. So only a few more steps. The PCP office said I can call everyday twice a day to see if anyone has cancelled so I can get in sooner. *crossing fingers*
