OK so I still dont know how I will do this, but I do know that all things are possible with God! I am deffanetly takeing my worries and praise to him! So as the title says I have lost 14 lbs! Things went well with Mr. Nair he thinks I would be a good canadate for this operation. He has sent given me paper work to do about 15 diffrent test prior to the operation and wants me to lose 35 more lbs before he will do the operation. I know I can do this! I am now stuck with if I can lose weight this fast and continue to lose it at a simular rate should I go in debt $30,000.00 and have this operation done, or should I simply starve myself for the next eight months and save myself the money. I dont know if I could stick to this diet that long, and even if I could, I will certainly not lose at the same rate my whole weight loss journey. Oh I dont know what to do! I shall keep praying and hope the answer comes to me, I know God brought me to this opertunity for some reason. Now it is up to me to keep my eyes, ears, and heart open for what is to come! I know he will, and would not lead me into a place I where I could not see his light. As always I will post later when I know more.

I have my first meeting my my surgeon next Monday the 27th, at 1pm. I cant wait, I have not idea what to expect at, but am hopeing for the best. I hope to have lost 5lbs by then, it will be two weeks into my weight loss journey! I know I can do this and I will. Just a little side note that is kinda funny, I got a workout bike today. Its not the one I was hopeing for but it works and it was only $15. It was fun getting it from Salem to Dallas about 25 miles in the trunk of my little car, but we made it! I have worked out on it but only for ten mins so far. Its a start, I like bikeing although its a bit of a pain in the butt litterly that is. Well Ill update more next week after my first appointment!

I was called over the my great, great gandma Bobby's house today, this is odd as she has never requested a visit from me before. When I arrived over there she notifyed me that she would loan me the money I needed to join the weight loss program at my local hospital. This was a total of 459, however she worte me a check for $500. But wait it gets better this is on loan to me tell I lose 50lbs after that it is a gift. Yeah thats write I dont have to pay it back talk about motivation! Tomorrow I will call in and join the program and get my first apointment. Just a side note I havent  drink anything other than water in 5 days, havent had processed food, man made carbs or soda in five days! I know I can do this and thank everyone that is on my side supporting me! Thanks! Ill update when I know more!

I recived a call today from the weight loss clinc where I applyed to join their gastric bypass program, they said I was accepted. All I have do now is pay my surgons fee, My mother, grandmother and a few other people are trying to come up with the money as a loan. This will inable me to see the surgon and other doctors and professonals to help me get the 50lb weight loss reguired before surgury. I am so excited I almost cryed when I got the call, I have waited many many years to have this dream come true. I feel that it is up to me with the support of my Husband, Family and Friends to make it though this as safely and quickly as possible. I am on my 3rd day of this diet and am detoxing well. I have quit cold turkey soda, salt, and most dairy items. I have been eatting very little because I have not been hungry ( suposta be a result of this diet) I will have an exercise bike tomorrow and am going to ride it everyday! My goal is to lose this weight with in the next 2-3months. I can do this! It is well worth it! Well I want to say thanks to all my friends and family and to my husband who finally understands my need and disire to go forth with this! God Bless and Ill blog when I know more!

I went weight loss center today, and turned in my papers to find out if i qualify for the sergury. I should know something with in the next week. While I was there I got weighed for the first time in just over a year. It was not as bad as I thought I am currently 456lbs. I went to the store at got all the stuff for the Insulin Resistance Diet. I was told that it is a good diet for people with PCOS. I have been drinking plenty of water, and only water, and have eatten very little today. It seems odd I dont even have an appatte right now, God must be smiling on me , he knows I couldent do it alone. The best part of the day was going to Mc D's with my husband and only getting a large water and a fruit and nut salad. I only ate the grapes and apples (trying to cut man made carbs out of my diet).  The other thing is I found out I need to come up with $469 prior to my offical enrolment in the program. I have no idea how I will do this...but belive God will show me a way if it is ment to be. After careful consideration I am thinking about the following timeline for pre-op and haveing the op down.

If I am unable to come up with the money to join right this moment I plan on losing what I can between now and September 28th when I get my Student aid for school.
I would then pay my money and start the offical process.
My goal is to have the work up done with in 30days of joiuning and have lost my 5% with in 60days.
This brings me to late novemeber whitch is when I hope to have the operation done at latest.

We will see, Well thats all for now I will post when I know more.

Okay so to those who know me, my closest friends and family it may not be a big suprise but the news is I'm a little more than pleasntly plump.But I finally came out of the closet and told several people that I am over the 400 mark. Here I stand not sure of my weight, it has been well over a year sense my last weigh in. The last scale I got onto mesured my weight at 425. I hope I havent gained alot in that time. However, my family tells me they think I have acctually lost weight...humm...could be. I am a full time student who runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. God knows I lift weights aka two tons of books. Eather way I went to a Gastric Bypass Informational meeting at the local hospital In Salem Oregon. I feel like I have a foot in the door, I know this is what I want to do. I could care less about my weight as a number, but as a health factor that threatens to steel me away from my family, frirends and all the little joys of life. It really matters. I dont have insureance, but the hospital offers finacing for everythiung except for the Bariatric Surgeon Fees...I have no idea how much that will be, but I have to come up with that prior to the operation. My goal is to have this done by mid January...that is God willing. I also want to lose 50lbs, its gonna be hard...real hard for me but once again I have alot to live for! Well this is just the beging of my journey! Ill post more as I find out more!

Ps. I go in friday to turn in my papers to join the program and get my weight! Ill post it when I get it.
