Well, I performed my monday morning ritual and weighed prior to my shower. I am now 222.5 pounds, which means I have lost 71.5 pounds since starting this journey. I am only 4 months and 2 weeks out from surgery! I can't believe how good I feel mentally and physically. I am much more active than I have been in a long time. I dont think I have been this weight in at least 7 years (maybe longer). I have had a few slip ups with eating carbs but I try to keep it all in perspective and don't go overboard. I love that I can fit into a 14/16 or WL instead of the 2Xs and 18/20 or 22's from a few months ago. I know this has been the best decision I have made in a long time.

I hit my first goal weight of 250 lbs one day before my 2 month surgiversary. I have lost an additional 4 pounds since last week. I can't believe how much better I feel mentally and physically having lost 48 pounds!!! My relationship with my husband is definitely better !!! I am doing more things with my children (playing in the park and running around the house). WLS was the best thing that I could have done for myself and for my family!!!

I am officially changing my status to APPROVED!!! Now all I need is a surgery date!!!

Can't wait to be on the losers bench!!

Well, I completed my surgeon's visit today. So the next step is submission for insurance approval! Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy submission and approval.

I completed my final PCP visit today. So now I am waiting for the submission to the insurance company to get the surgery date :) I hope everything goes well and that I won't have to spend a lot of time waiting to get to the next phase of my life. A thinner, healthier me is waiting to break out !!!

I must say that it feels like it has taken forever to get to this point. The final required PCP visit is on Monday, which means I could be having surgery within the next 3 -4 weeks. I am nervous and excited all at the same time, just knowing that a new, healthier life is waiting for me right around the corner. I have researched WLS for the past year at least, and have been planning this for the last 6 months. The journey to a new healthier me is just really getting underway and I can't wait!
