waving Hi Everyone happy

I just got back from having my cardiac evaluation. The Dr. cleared me for surgery, said, I was low risk,I go see the pulmonary Dr. tomorrow. I'm still waiting on my psyc eval to be approved through my insurance.
I had a sleep study done last week to determine if I have sleep Apnea, a throat specialist wants to remove my tonsils, and possibly uvula. So I may be having that done in Jan, and hopefully the bariatric surgery done in feb. I weight in today at the cardiologist i'm down 2 more pounds.

Thanks Everyone for all your support.:heart:

I got cleared by the cardiologist, and pulmonologist
they both said I was low risk to have the surgery.
Next step is the psyc eval, then it all gets sent to the surgeon who will submit it to the insurance company. So hopefully it will be Approved jan or feb. happy

You're an inspiration to so many others who keep falling off the wagon :). You've stuck to it. I bet there were times when you felt like giving in to that chocolate bar or pizza, but you stuck to your word and carried on striving. That is a goal worth rewarding. Remaining persistent, the way you have, is key. Excellent. You're doing well flowerforyou

I,ve had set backs too,their have been days I gave into the pizza, or chocolate. bB each day is a new day for better choices. I was really proud of myself when I managed to make cookies, candies for christmas, and barley ate any of them. Little goals little steps,one pound at a time all adds up.flowerforyou

Penny in the past I have went on some of the weight loss programs. The doctor I went to put me on a 1200 calorie diet as well.... It was tough cut down my dr peppers, sweets ect... Cut out all fried food...

I was told I could have what he called a free fruit where I could eat what I wanted. I did apples it seems not only are they sweet so they help out on that craving but I could have as many as I wanted. By the time you eat a apple you burn off enough calories just by eating it from what is in it....

But the one thing my doctor told me was to take one day one meal and eat what ever I was craving... So I would go out to eat and eat anything I wanted and get me a candy bar afterwards...

Just knowing I had that one day of the week to eat what ever I wanted help me through the week...

Plus if you stay on a 1200 calorie diet every day your body figures it out and you metabolism will tend to shut down instead of letting you burn the calories like it is suppose to. At times you have to fool your metabolism to give it a jump start..

Some diets will have you eating like 1500 calories for a couple of days then eat least then once a week jump your calorie intake up...


I ended up loosing over 30lbs in one month of course the next month was like half of that... Don't let the weeks you don't loose much discourage you. But then don't take everything you like away... It all comes down to moderation... If you take something completely away your body will crave it and may cause you to splurge on that item... It is best to have one free day a week it sure makes the diet much easier to deal with...
