Well I made my goal for 320....My next goal is to be at 300#s 
I had my post op appointment yesterday and my doctor said my incisions were healing beautifully and that I'm doing great on weight loss. He moved me to mushies....YEAH baby  Man getting the 60 grams of protein in was hard the first two weeks after surgery. I've noticed that I've been eating less since my weight loss is starting to slow down so I'm going to push myself to eat at least every 4 hours.  My doctor said it would keep my metabolism at a decent level to produce weight loss.  A lot of people can tell I've lost weight through my face and clothes which to me is a good thing.

HEY YOU GUYS SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO UPDATE MY PROFILE. BUT MY SURGERY WENT AS PLANNED ON OCTOBER 1ST AT 7:30 AM...WAS NOT A BIT NERVOUS BUT MY HUSBAND WAS. IT WAS SO FUNNY CAUSE THE ANESTHESIOLOGISTS WAS TALKING TO ME SAYING HE WAS GOING TO BE ADDING SOME MEDICINE TO PUT ME ASLEEP AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO COUNT BACKWARDS STARTING AT 10... WELL I DIDN'T MAKE IT THAT FAR TO START COUNTING I FELL ASLEEP QUICK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF SURGERY I WAS SHIVERING. I WAS VERY COLD.LUCKILY THEY HAD SOME NICE WARM BLANKETS THEY KEPT PILING ON ME TO WARM ME UP SLOWLY. I WAS IN AT 6AM AND HOME BY NOON WHICH WAS AWESOME...MADE SURE TO DO MY WALKING AND BREATHING TREATMENTS SO I WOULDN'T CATCH PNEUMONIA. ALL I'VE BEEN DOING IS WALK WALK WALK SIP SIP SIP ....THE MORNING OF SURGERY I WEIGHED 340LBS. WHEN I GOT HOME FROM SURGERY I WEIGHED MYSELF AGAIN AND I WEIGHED 346. LAST NIGHT I HAD WEIGHED MYSELF AND I WEIGHED 329!!!! YEAH BABY...AS FAR I HAVE BEEN DOING GOOD STICKING TO THE LIQUID DIET. (ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN SO HUNGRY) WOUNDS ARE HEALING UP NICE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR BRYCE ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 12TH. WELL I WILL LOG ON LATER ON AND FINISH MY STORY GOT TO GO LOVE YOU ALL ....FEELS SO GOOD TO BE ON THE LOSING SIDE!!!!! B4 PRE-OP DIET 354#...DAY OF SURGERY 340# ONE WEEK FROM SURGERY 329# LIFE IS GOOD

My pre-op weight loss goal is 20 lbs or more. My co-worker had a similar surgery and she lost 20 lbs. So I figure if she can do it so can I.

SO FRIDAY I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DR BRAY WHO IS SUPPOSE TO DO MY FINAL CLEARANCE FOR MY SURGERY AND...DARE I SAY IT ... YUP I GET MY SURGERY SCHEDULED...I WILL SOON BE ON THE LOOSING SIDE.

Well, this is my first time blogging, so please bear with me.  Okay so I first stated that I was going with Baylor's Weight Loss Surgery Program.  Change that. Rewind. Now, let's start again.  I will be going to have surgery at LakePointe Medical Center with Dr Kenneth Bryce. I've done all that they asked and now I'm waiting for approval. Bad news: I was 350 lbs.  I am now at 365lbs.  My new highest is I hate to say 372lbs. Man, how depressing. Well, anyways. Time to to work hard at being a healthier me!!!!
