Its Whacky Weigh In Wednesday!!!

Good Morning all.   I am finally up and breathing.  About to make my protein shake.  Joe and I stayed up until 2 trimming elk. ugh.  I stepped gently on my scale this morning and found I am down 6.5 pounds this week.  I am following protocol exactly and drinking water and walking.  I bought 3 poumd weights and am working on toning muscles in the batwing area. 

The night crew is throwing a party for Jayden on Friday as soon as I get back into town with him.  Even the big boss will be there!  We're keeping it a secret.

Off to shower and .................... call disability.  No money yet. 

129 and holding! I'm surprising myself on how well I'm maintaining within a few ounces from day to day!!! 129 is the perfect number for me. I usually really sucked at maintaining once a diet was done. I've added carbs. and am doing well. My two year surgiversary's coming up next month... feeling really good about things!!!

Have a good day all!

Good morning all...I am down 2 more pounds, due to pre-op diet.  Although now..it appears for the moment, there will be no WLS.  Apparently the old ticker (my heart) has been giving some bad vibes on the EKG and my PCP and/or hospital Cardiologist failed to notify anybody of it.   Mind you, this test was done ONE MONTH AGO.  I contacted my surgicenter yesterday and very sadly they told me that I have to be put on hold until there is a medical clearance.  This is the second EKG to come back abnormal in 3 months.  I had an ECHO done, but it seems that is not being used as criteria.  So as far as today goes, I dunno my progress.  I wonder if tears can take weight off...cuz I did my fair share of crying yesterday and this morning.  All the calls and notes and pleads to get this ball rolling again are in place...now its just the waiting game again and decisions from "the Powers that be"  Wish me luck in this journey...at this moment in time, I am in despair and discouraged.  I am, however, still following the pre-op diet JUST IN CASE I get the word I am a go again.
Much love to you'uns****

Kim, so sorry about the setback. Hopefully you get the cardiac clearance that you need soon. Keep the faith hun. Sending big hugs and love.  

Thank you Katt....the hugs feel good, I can use the love..I am old and silly but I feel like I'm simply a number in a filing cabinet with the medical society.  You can bet there would have been a call if I had failed to get my monthly premium paid..lol
Hugs and Love right back atcha"

 Kim, is it Kaiser saying you can't have it or Dr. Suh? You can look into switching to Pacific Bariatrics as they take higher risk patients that Dr. Suh doesn't.

Hi Other Kim S. 
It was Dr. Suh's office, but as you can see..I am going to have a cardiac consult tomorrow.  Never in my life have I ever had a question regarding my heart's health...it is such a shock.  I am anxious about tomorrow's appt, but I am thinking..I am an over weight, middle aged lady...with diabetes...maybe its just a warning sign that this is the right direction at this stage in my life, something that can be corrected with weight loss.
Thanks for asking...

Oh, and I am down 4 pounds from last week. Wooohoooo!!! That 74 pounds from my highest weight, and 64 since surgery. I feel so blessed to have been able to have this surgery. Everyone have a great day.

Ok..Update from my last post...I have a Cardiology evaluation scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.  I am keeping my fingers crossed it was just a blip on the EKG screen...but not getting my hopes too high yet that they will clear me so soon for WLS...until further notice..love you all***
