Wow, its seems like years since I have posted!
Dec 06, 2008
I have had two surgeries already this year, only three months apart and that is certainly something I never dreamed of. I never thought I would be here on the cusp of being cancer free/or even having to have had dealt with cancer!
Im not sure why I went through that, possibly to make the next surgery more routine then terrifying?
I have not as of yet lost any weight, with focusing on the cancer, the surgeries and just overall stress, I was not giving my weight loss priority, hopefully now that will change.
I am almost done my six weeks of classes, and all I will need to do in the upcoming months is just really focus and burn some weight off so that the team will consider me for the surgery.
One step at a time. :) I am very thankful to be out and healthy and enjoying my vacation from Dr.s until January pretty much.
Well, off to bed... just thought I would jump on with a quick update.

Consult finally HERE!!
Sep 23, 2008
I had my consult today!! Well, I am officially on my way, YIKES, I have to say, seriously... I almost left the consult before the Dr. got in there and I was so talking trash to my hubby on the cell phone and having all kinds of second thoughts. WHY?? Because I had a huge tiring day and the Dr. was running a FULL HOUR BEHIND!!!
Well, I met her and then we both remembered meeting at the informational meeting when I asked her a question, so it was kind of cool.
So... now they will be calling me to set up nutrition classes and also behavioral classes (shrink type deal) and I am really on my way. Weird, weird, weird!!
I have NO co-morbid issues which is great, and of course with my BMI I dont need any, LOL, but it helps in surgery that I dont have anything else going on that will cause a complication.
So.... Happy that is over with, I waited a long time , about 4 months or so. The other good news is she wanted blood work and I am going to the hospital to get ready for surgery for my thyroid.. so she ordered my blood work to be done there when I am preparing for that, so, one less needle stick!! Yay!!

Trying to fit it all in
Sep 06, 2008
Well, I didnt expect to battle cancer on top of everything else but that is the hand that I have been given. Fortunately its thyroid cancer and over the next few months they should have me all set. SOOOO.... I am continuing on my weight loss path, it just might take me longer to fit my appointments in around a second surgery for thyroid and all of the after appointments.
My calendar is quite full, but Im trying to keep my priorities straight so I can get this done HOPEFULLY early to mid 09!!
Im at peace with all of this, I have my faith that God will carry me through, I am just learning to have more patience then I ever thought possible!!
I still have my consult in September, towards the end, and I am totally looking forward to that!! Whoooo hoooo.... slow and steady wins the race, right?? :)

What did she just say??
Jun 23, 2008
I went to get weighed in and of course knew I had GAINED weight over the last few months, worrying about the cancer scare. I actually guessed my weight within two pounds. A g/f of mine made me laugh, saying that was a gift, I think I should work for the carnival, LOL. O.k. I did laugh but what ticked me off was that I found out that I actually lost an inch in height.
I really dont want to be as round as I am tall. Its bad enough being fat, but at least I had my height. Talk about having to hit bottom before everything is crazy enough for you to make a move!! When I heard that I had lost a full inch in height, I knew that it was the weight crushing the cushioning in my back, hence the back pain. I seriously need this weight off and I need it off yesterday.
I hope I can get in on a cancellation!! Otherwise I waiting until september.

Another day closer
Jun 15, 2008
Here I am another day closer to my consult. It isnt until september but there will be a lot going on here until then!
I am getting a base weight wednesday, which I will post and we will go from there.
I will be cutting out sugar entirely, pushing up the waters and eating a higher protein, high veggie diet..with leaner cuts and smaller portions. Hopefully that will put me on the way to losing a few pounds, that and my trusty elliptical.
I am really ready to jump back into life, I miss so much. I have been so "checked out" for years that I cant believe it got this bad. At least I used to be able to go out and cruise and see the sites but now with the gas prices, even that has ended and I am usually housebound unless there is some important event I need to attend.
Im a hermitt.
Those days are OVER, I cant wait to get on the right track here and get going, Im excited! :)
