It's very interesting to me that some people are SO in-tune with their bodies, they just *know* that they will be fine if they hurry through the food stages or drink alcohol early. If I was that in-tune with mine, I never would have needed WLS to begin with. I am SUPER jealous.

Deleted my status so I don't get in trouble by the BP Gods! But seriously - enough is enough!

Oh, why hello there Onederland. It's been far too long... =D

Today has been tough. It is the 6th day of the preop liquid shakes. My stomach has been rumbling and my choices have been right. One moment at a time.

After being approved a month ago from insurance, and calling the Dr. Office every day for the past 2 weeks, I finally have a date! August 17th, HERE I COME!

I've been very nice so far but I'm getting a little pissed off at my Program for not having their acts together and ordering my pre-op testing! I want this done!

4 days postop, I can't believe I did it

11 months post-RNY today. I did my usual weighing/measuring/etc, and though I only lost 6 pounds in the last month, I did lose a couple inches. Plodding along now... I've lost 168 since surgery and at least 223 pounds overall. I have not made the goal weight that I had for myself at the beginning of this year, and I'm still 219 pounds, but I now realize that I truly don't care. I'm healthy, happy, and I don't hate the way I look in the mirror. Everything that comes after this is just gravy.

5 more days until surgery!

Out of the 220s and into the 210s! I now weigh less than I have lost. Also, my bmi is not high enough to qualify for surgery. Here's a new progress picture! Left is a new picture I found, and it was sobering. I believe it was my true heaviest. Right is the fourth of July when we went to see fireworks. Warning - I'm in a sports bra and undies in my before picture. Don't look if you don't want to see that! http://imgur.com/wxCv8k6

I called the insurance company and they still haven't assigned a nurse to my case for surgery approval after more than 2 weeks. They suggested the doctor's office call. Soooo, I called the doctor's office! They are going to call on Monday to request my case is expedited. Still in limbo - but there is potential action on the horizon!

Feeling patiently impatient waiting for the insurance company to make a decision. It has been two work weeks since my reassessment and the insurance company has not assigned a nurse to my case yet. Breathing. Distracting myself. And learning more every day about the process. Hopefully, there will be an answer soon.

Two weeks post op appointment has me at a good point. Doc's happy with the incisions and my weight loss so far is more than expected.
-
I have lost of total of 248.6 pounds, I now weigh less than I have lost. Just went today for my 6th month blood work up. I see the surgeon on July 25th. I hope the blood work up will be good and am hoping to lose another 6 to 8 pounds before I see him.

I just called my surgeon's office to get the reference number so I can gently urge the insurance company to take care of me. My reassessment was 7 days ago and they have not submitted my paperwork to the insurance company yet... AHHHHH!
-
I called again today and they said they've received 17 pages of documents from my surgeon's office. The insurance company said that I should know something within 15 calendar days from their late receipt of my paperwork... by June 14, 2016 at the latest. What should have taken 2 weeks maximum is taking 3.5 + weekends. As a teacher. recovery is getting suspiciously close to the start of school. My husband keeps saying God is protecting me from something. So I have been trying to feel blessed.

I need a bourbon and Coke Zero in a tall glass. With a straw.

It's always nice hitting a home run with your SO. She has had such a rough week, found the right restaurant to relax and reconnect. The whole night was perfect. She left looking relaxed and refreshed.

Supposedly "final" job interview in the morning for a job I think I really want. Once I have decision on new job, I get to book my plastics surgery. Can't sleep!! Too much on my mind!
