Two of my very awesome co-workers bought me a dozen roses today and a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure to show me how proud they were of the weight I lost.  Kirsten and Brandy are the best!!

September 7th!!! And my D and A came back just fine :) :)

So at this point I've been approved for surgery by both the surgeon and my insurence company, when I saw Dr. Kemmeter in June he told me that because I'm narrow hipped (no one in my entire life has ever described anything about me as narrow) the surgery would be much more successful if I could lose up to 10% of my body weight before it, so immediately we decided for me to go on at 1200 calorie diet with at least 60 grams of protein a day and under 200 carbs, his goal was for me to lose at least 20lbs before I went on the supervised 800 calorie diet.  So far I've lost 31 lbs....this is mostly due to the fact I've been waiting longer to have the surgery because my Vitamin D and Vitamin A counts were low, they put me on 5000 a day of D and 10000 a day of A, I've read on here that that will never be enough but I figured I'd follow the doctors orders at this point.  Talked to his cordinator (or whatever she's called) and she said they weren't terribly low to begin with but just not where they should be for someone who's going into a DS.  I had my blood drawn today so I'm waiting for that to come back, I can only pray that everything comes back ok. 

I've actually gone without caffiene for a week...this is a big deal and probably the longest in the history of...well...ever.  I had my first doctor's visit today (for the physical) and it went really well, as long as I get approved by the surgeon and the behaviorist they will send it on the my insurence company and she added that this should get going along pretty quickly at that point.  It's definitely starting to feel like it will really happen for me.

I'm not sure where I should start here, except that I'm currently going through the Pre-Op process with Grand Health Partners (yay for insurence approval).   My plans at this point are for DS.   I keep thinking over and over again that this is something that I've got to commit to 100% and as I'm way harder on myself than anyone else could be I've decided to try and prove to myself that I do this by giving up caffiene, since when the time comes I can't imagine having to deal with being hungry and having a drug addiction.   We're on day 2 so far, yesterday during the day was just fine but I probably still had so much in my system from the day before that it didn't hit me until the eveing...my co-workers tried giving me "EMergeny Diet Coke", apparently I was a bit grouchy...and today everyone kept asking if I was mad at them....nope this is just decaffinated NIcki.
