The Start Of The Rest Of My Life.....

Hello everyone! My name is Breeanne and I am 27 years old. I am a wife and a mother of a 6 year old and 1 year old little boys. I am getting ready to finish up my 6 month required diet. September 5 will be my last visit.When I spoke to a woman in the dr's office last week all of September was pretty much open for surgery. My doctor only does surgeries on Fridays,, but a friend of mine that I met at the doctors office has the same insurance as I do and was approved in 2-3 days. I am so ready for the start of my new life. I keep telling myself that this is not just for me but for my husband and our two boys also. I want to be able to romp and play with my boys and be the "trophy" wife my husband deserves. I weigh about 270ish pounds and I am 5'7. My goal starting out was to be happy to get to 150lbs but when I went to my nutrition visit she told me that 150 was too high and she expected me to get to 135lbs. So that is my new goal. I know that I can do this and I will do this! I have a few nay sayers including my mother but that has always been the case with her. In all of my life I have never been pretty enough, skinny enough, smart enough or anything in her eyes. But it just adds fuel to my fire to do my absolute best with the help of this surgery so that I can live a long, healthy and happy life with my hubby and our two boys.. I am actually going to start my liquids this week to help with some pounds to make sure that I am down for my last appointment. I would hate to have went through these 5 months of visits to get to my last visit and have gained. I would be devistated. Thank you for reading this and I'm going to start doing this blog to keep myself motivated and honest about how things are going!

Good for you. You'll be fine. I was banded 3 weeks ago today and I am doing great. Since I started with the dietitian in March I am down 46 lbs. Since the banding it is 14lbs. I find having the protein shakes made with crushed ice in the blender makes like a thick frosty and it fills me a lot. I go back to the doctor and dietitian this Thursday so i will progress to pureed food then. Good luck with the new you! Do it for you not anyone else.

Bree,

It seems you and I have a lot in common. My consultation is Sept 6. I am just finishing up my 6 months of dietician/PCP visits myself. I'm hoping my insurance approves within a week but the office said it has been taking around 30 days. I'm thinking I will have my surgery in October which is my birthday so "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!" My mother and I do not have the best relationship either but I have plenty of support in my husband and friends. I am 37 (almost 38) so I'm hoping to be at my goal by the time I'm 40. So, maybe we will have surgery around the same time and can update each other. Good luck and happy losing!

Jess
