3 For Saturday

3 For Saturday

1) Is soooooo excited to pick my girlfriend up from the airport tomorrow... She has been gone since Thursday toTexas for her cousin's graduation. It's pitiful how much I have missed her haha.

2) Tonight I am having a "Girl's Night Out" with a friend I haven't seen is so long! Should be a blast!

3) Excited about being 67lbs lighter and wondering how I am going to get a Maid of Honor dress for my best friends wedding (in Sept) when I haven't stayed one size for long  

Hope you all have a great weekend!

1) Hoping that I am not going to get stuck in Chicago tonight.  My flight departing from Rochester has been delayed (had to stop to refuel in Buffalo) because they closed the Rochester airport (apparently medical emergency)

2) Enjoyed a 1/2 Subway BMT wrap without complication - I love BMT's!

3) Wireless!

1. Saw a new number on the scale this morning 198.3, I have not been below 200 since Jr high. The scale had been stuck for about 6 weeks, now in the last week I have dropped 7 pounds.

2. Spent the day by the pool, love summer.

3. all of you you are the best!!

Congratulations
on meeting your goal weight!

67 lbs lighter- what a loser! I can't wait till I can boast such a number, way to go!!!

when is your surgery?

Who knows? I've been doing this Kaiser program since November and I still don't have a date!! It's starting to get frustrating, I know that they want us to be prepared, but it's so hard to sit and wait.

I know that frustration!  I just feel like I can't have this surgery soon enough! 

It's Kaiser's special brand of torture.  Although, I can't argue too much about being prepared and changing habits in advance of the surgery.

That's a long few months since November!!!!   I'm at Kaiser Richmond and they told us at the orientation that it was taking about 3-6 months from orientation to surgery.

I went to the orientation at the end of April and I'm already getting antsy. 

Hang in there.

Thanks so much - you too!

Well the problem was when I met with their NP he told me just to lose 20 lbs. which I did, then when I met with the surgeon he said to lose 20 more- so I'm working on it, but it's so freakin hard!

Are they making you do a whole bunch of classes too?

Well, I really hope that when I meet with surg. agian on the 30th he'll give me a date in Aug. I really really want it to happen this summer so I don't have to miss any work.

Fingers crossed that we get dates soon!!!

Let's see...

They required attendance at a 5 hr. orientation, a meeting with the psychologist and then the surgeon.

They said that we needed to have at the least, monthly weight checks which could happen either by making an appointment with them for a weight check or at the support groups.

I've been going to the support groups twice/month (which I actually really like - just wish there were more lesbians there).  I've been told that once I reach my goal weight I should be able to get a surgery date within a month.

I have 9 lbs to go!!!!   I'm hoping for a date in August also.

It sounds like they're requiring a little more at your Kaiser.
