Weekly Update Sept 30

Pictures of me, one year apart.
Here it is, the last day of September, and I have been doing this blog for 2 months now.  Almost 1000 people have seen this blog.  The week was a good one.  I walked twice and went to the gym twice, because I had a doctors appointment and to meet with the nutritionist   Both are happy with my progress to weight loss surgery.  I asked the nutritionist about popcorn.  She said it was ok, as long as we brought our own popcorn to the movies and not buy theirs.  So yesterday, I bought popcorn in individual bags for our next movie night. 

 Still do not know if I want to do the surgery or not.  I was reminded by a work friend, that I have to do it for me and only me.  

 Weekly net weight loss:  2.2 lbs.  I lost all the weight that I gained plus .1 of a pound more.

And the Answer is....

A friend of my posted this on Facebook a few days ago.  I have seen this on line for a few months now, and a few months ago, my answer would have been none of the above.  But that has changed over the last few months as I have been trying to eat healthier.  1. Tacos:  As you know if you have read this blog, I did have a few fish tacos while I was on vacation.  Taco bell was one of my main stops, because I could get a lot of food for close to nothing.  Since I have started to eat healthier, no Taco Bell.  So tacos, are a maybe when I am on vacation, and only fish tacos. 2. Pizza.  Pizza has become one of those things that we get most of the time as a pizza bowl.  Meat, Cheese, and sauce.  It is one of those items that I eat when, again, I am not at home.  And my limit now is two pieces, not  half or the whole thing.  3.  Hamburger:  Now this is something that I have not cut out at all, except the bums....

Weekly Update Oct 21

Image
Another good week.  Was able to get in all my walks and go to the gym 3 times.  Also went and saw the lung doctor this week, to try to get clearance for the surgery.  I thought I was going to go there, and he was going to see how good I have been doing in the  past two years, and just sign me off.  Well, he wants a new chest x-ray, and a breathing test.  So the chest x-ray is done, and the breathing test is scheduled for this week. One of the things I talked to him about was finally getting the oxygen tanks and the oxygen machine out of my life.  I really have not used the tanks for the past two years, and I had to use the oxygen machine when I got pneumonia and bronchitis earlier this year.  I have used a CPAP machine for this time as well, and he told me my sleep apnea is now in a good range.  So lets see if the breathing test goes well, and I can get these things out of my world.  Weekly net weight lose:  2.1 lbs.

Weekly Update: Dec 16 Surgey Week

So this was the week I had been working for the last 5 months.   Surgery was not scheduled till 2:30 in the afternoon, so we did not have to be at the hospital until 12:30.  My dad came down and gave me a blessing (Yes I am LDS or Mormon).  We got to the hospital and checked in and waited, and waited.  My surgery was delayed because the forgot that I was scheduled that day.  So an hour later, I was in surgery, and an hour later I was out.   After Surgery picture.  Bottom right is where they took the stomach out! I don't remember being in much pain.  I went for two walks around the floor that night.  The nurse did ask me if I wanted pain meds and how strong did I want them.  I went for the weak ones, and was fine.  Was woken up at 3 by a vampire (Blood Work).  I was woken again, by Brandon, who works with Dr. Graf, to see how I was.  Him and Dr. Graf  said I could stay another night, but also said I co...
