As of today my weight is 239.5. It's sad that I'm excited about this. I remember when I thought I was fat at 175 lbs. Oh, what I would give to be there now. Hopefully I will be there soon. The hunger isn't too bad now. I did eat a can of Chunk Tuna Light in Water last night. I KNOW that wont hurt my pre-op diet. It's pure protein and almost zero carbs. Thats the first time I ever ate Tuna Fish out of the can and not mixed with mayo and other stuff. It wasn't too bad. My dr's office called me this morning to tell me my pre-op blood work came back and everything was find except for my vitamin D levels. She said I need to start taking 2000iu of Vitamin D every day for 6 weeks. When I got my labs done from my PCP last month my vitamin B-12 was also down but my PCP gave me a shot of B-12 while I was there so thats probably while it was showing ok on these labs.
My surgery is exactly 1 week away. I'm getting excited! I told a friend of mine about the surgery yesterday and she is about 215lbs and is all about "loving your body" and not dieting and stuff. She actually said to me that being over weight does not make you unhealthy. That if you exercise and lead an active lifestyle you will be healthy no matter what. BAHAHAHAHA...I actually laughed out loud. I dont know WHO told her that BS! BUT I promise you when I lose the weight my blood pressure will go down, I won't be Pre-Diabetic anymore, my sleep apnea will improve if not resolve itself all together and I wont have such bad back pain! I told her thank you for the support and left it at that. She asked me to reconsider. I told her I've done a ton of research on this and I feel like its safe and effective. She also said that 96% of the people that have this surgery regain their weight. I KNOW that's wrong lol. I know SOME people do but that's because they aren't using the tool. I know you have to work the band to make it work for you, but some people purposley eat around the band and those are the people that make the band look bad! I guess ignorance really is bliss to some people!
On another note! I am hosting a Christmas Bizarre at my house on December 4th! I'm really excited about it! We are going to have reps from Scentsy, Avon (of course since I sell it!), Premier Jewelry, Juice Plus, 31 Gifts and Tupperware! I made up the flier for it this morning and it should be great! Since I'm hosting it I hopefully will get some GREAT hostin gifts ;) I can hope right?
Well I think that's all for today. I also have to say that I'm in a much better mood today because I finally got a little bit of sleep last night. David is going on night shift tonight so he stayed up last night and took care of the baby for me so I could get some sleep. It's amazing how one night of "better" sleep can make you feel so much better!! Have a great day all!
