Gm all


  Just got in from walkin and I feel so energetic. To all that keeps workout.........lets do it baby!!!!!!!!! I am starting my liquid diet today. For sure Its hard god knows its hard starting again but gotta do wat I gotta do. Will post later on how I did on the diet. Also to all new posters congrats on gettin ur date. 23 DAYS EVERYONE AND NOV IS HERE. WOOOOOOO!

Finally got my date, I'm so excited!!  Let's count it down together!  Anyone have the same date, looking for pen pal to enjoy the count down with....

It never ceases to amaze me the hoops the insurance companies expect us to jump through. Fortunately, mine only requires 6 months above 40 (or above 35 with comorbidities -- that's my case). I'm so anxious to get rid of this weight but I can't afford to lose too much -- kinda a Catch 22. I've been using SparkPeople.com to keep my food journal and it's really been helpful. I'm trying to eat healthy but with enough calories to maintain my current weight and, so far, I've been successful.

My surgery was originally supposed to occur in November but that's up in the air right now. I see my bariatric surgeon next week to try to set a definite date. I found out recently that I need to have urgent surgery on a cyst in my jawbone and I'm not sure if I'll be recovered enough from that to have the bariatric surgery before Thanksgiving. I'll leave that up to my surgeons to decide. I hate not knowing!

Anyway, congrats on getting your date. Since my birthday is in November I've always thought it was the best month of the year!
