Update
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I did go to the support group meeting last tuesday night with my Dr.'s office. Surgicial Associates. Then I went home with my friends for a couple of days. had fun visiting with them though. and they want to kidnap me each month and want me to stay with them for a couple of weeks after I have my surgery. I don't know about that yet, I have my home to take care of and my business to do. Plus I have a 19 yr old daughter in the house that doesn't pick up after herself. I can just imagine what the house would look like if I were gone for 2 weeks. I'll just have to wait and see how things go as they get closer.
But right now I am concentrating on watching what I eat and working on getting out and walking some. I am now up to almost 2 blocks. I know that doesn't sound like much but it is more than I was doing before which was NONE! And for someone with my weight 2 blocks is a lot! i am on my pre-op diet and have to lose before I go back to the Dr. I have lost some and am working on losing lots more.
I have my appointment with Dr. Worley on the 23. He is the lung Dr. that will be in surgery too I guess. I go back to the dietician on the 8th of April and get my labs done then too. and hopefully when they get my labs back I will get my surgery date. So it is coming SOON I hope. I am almost at 80 lbs lost since July 7th. Wow that's a lot of weight.
God Bless. Talk to you all again soon.

It sounds like you are on a great path to success and getting close. I hope you had a great time with your friends and you might want to concider if not staying with them seeing of they can stay with you for a few days after surgery it just makes it easier at first. I thank god each day that my mom was able to be there and help me the first week or so.

Thanks MommaHen, I did have a great time visiting with them. I'll just have to wait and see what happens, I know my younger sister said she would come down if I needed her to but she has her hands full with a disabled husband (had a massive stroke about 3 yrs ago) and a disabled daughter that needs constant supervision. And I haven't heard from my other sisters yet. So I'm hoping that maybe one of them can come for awhile, but I also know that they work full time. So I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do.
Oh by the way I like your new picture.

GREAT job, Sudsie!!! I think the 2 blocks is fantastic. I am so proud of you. Keep up the great work. Last July, or last June, did you think you would be able to do what you are doing now? Bet not. You are one of the ones who are going to rock this tool. Michael
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
Thanks Michael,
No last June or July either one I did not think I could walk even this far. And every time before I have lost weight (this same 100 lbs) that I am working on now, I didn't get out to walk at all. So this is a real start for me. Each night I try to walk a few steps further than the night before. and it is getting easier for me. I ahve not even told my daughter that I am out walking at night. of course she would not care anyhow.

Sudsie I am soooo PROUD of you. You've come a long way baby!! You just keep on keeping on. Every day is a day closer to your new life and new found health. I know you say your daughter isn't interested but most 19 year olds are so self-absorbed. It's all about them and their friends. Now my friend it's all about you! You've given her 19 years and I'm sure you have sacrificed a lot in doing that as we all do. You HAVE to put yourself first for a while even if it means having her take care of you after surgery if your sisters can't come. It would be good for her. You've done amazingly well in such a short time. Just think sister, this time next year you are going to be smokin hot!!! Your daughter just might be a little jealous.... Take care and keep us posted. Your date is coming soon!!!
This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
Loosing 80 pounds is fantastic and I think walking up to two blocks is fantastic. When I started this journey I was almost 400 pounds and I couldn't have walked one block to save my life. After 1 block I was limpin, it was bad! But after 4 months I am up to 2.5 miles, it took a while but I did it one step at a time. You will get there too! I am proud of your hard work!
Keep trucking on sister!
