Ok i think my hubby is not taking accurate measurements, cause my waist measurement went up from jan.....ya i don't think so......oh well he tried...lol, i'm just gonna leave it cause no way to tell where exactly he was putting the measureing tape each month, so i'll just continue and just remember it's the best he could do :) I love him.....he's my booger butt :)  He's over here next to me right now eating something yummy a frozen icecream treat....at least it has pecans in it, so its not tempting to me at all not into pecans in my icecream so i told him it was ok for him to eat it in here with me..... 

Oh and i'm currently swimming in my 5X tshirts, and some of my pants are pretty big on me too.....its soooo cool, going to start going through my tubs of clothes i had when i was under 300...i'll have enough to last probably just till i get to 250 and then oh boy the shopping starts.....my favorite part :)

This is from April 1, 2011 i know its shortly after last monthes pics and stats, but since i skipped the first of last month i wanted to make up for it and continue on with taking pics and stats on the first, so here ya go. :) That 4 week pre op diet was a bitch, but not as much of a bitch as this liquid post op 3 week diet, uggggggg....i hate soups....and not much of the drinks agree with me either right now...I cheated on the 4 week pre op, but only on the weekends, shhhhh i didn't let my doc know, but he said my liver was nice and small, but it did have fatty tissue on it and its a good thing i'm having the surgery now so i don't develop liver problems...so yay i did good....:) I lost like 20 pounds or so on the pre op diet so i was happy with that....

It's Finally 2011 Tuesday, January 4, 2011

The following is a blog I wrote from another Blogger account i had that i'm getting rid of.

It's Finally 2011

Well I started the lap band process December, 2009, did the 6 month supervised diet, from Jan-June, and then was told i had to wait till the next year because the insurance needed five years of weight history, and i did not have any for the first year because I had just quit my job and moved so I didn't have any insurance to go to the doctor till I married my husband which was in the very end of 2006. And then I did the Psych Evaluation, and found I needed to see a therapist before I could have surgery, needed 8 sessions, luckily I was able to get that taken care of before the new year, so now its the new year and they told me i have to go to a different doctor to have my weight in cause they can't do it, so I scheduled an appointment with a local doctor to weight me for this Friday-soonest i could get. After that they'll schedule me to see a Nutritionist and figure out whatever else i need to take care of before they send in the paperwork, and then finally they'll send in the paperwork to the insurance company and i have no clue how long that takes to hear back from them, but hopefully it's quick, cause i really want to get in and have my surgery already. Oh I also found out a couple months ago that i have a hernia as well, so they're going to be taking care of that when they put in the lap band, i figure that's better then having to go in two separate times for surgeries. So as prep for my upcoming surgery I've given up Soda's and Buffet restaurants. both of which my husband and step son are saddened by. I also started working out, only 10 minutes a day right now, cause i am so out of shape...and I'm going to be going to the gym (24 hour fitness) and do swimming exercises as well.
