Don't Eat That

I checked into have a surgery to make my stomach smaller a couple of years ago.  And, I qualified with diabetis, hypertension and gastro-intestinal distress, I easily qualify from a medical standpoint for the surgery.  However, our insurance hasn’t been very accommodating.

The reality is, I am over-weight and I suffer from thyroid dysfunction and other odds and ends going on with my body, our insurance still doesn’t think that I am a good candidate  And, as you know, I’ve taken part in a couple of Wii game challenges.  I even had this nasty surgery for TMJ that has basically prevented me from chewing since early November.  Still, the weight just bounces around. 

Even with the way things have been, I’ve had a lot of surgeries and although we make jokes when I see new doctors and they ask for my surgical history by telling them to get an extra piece of paper, the truth is, services like My Online Medical would make this a much easier task and for that matter, this could provide me with some safety in case I was in a position where I couldn’t give my medical history to anyone.  I’m anxious to give this a try.

Ok, so, for the first time since this blog went up and I took the challenge of getting some weight off of me, I’m here to tell you that, I have lost one pound.  No kidding. 

If you remember when we last looked in, I was going up 7, down 9, up 10, down 10, up9, down 8 and so forth. But, this is indeed the second week in a row that I have managed to see a lower number on the scales and not a higher one.

Now, I’m don’t think anyone can tell it.  I mean, I’m still wearing my maternity pants and some other pants that I’ve worn for a couple of years but they are baggy.  A small army could move in the backside of most of them.  But, no clothes purchases until I see if I can make something happen.

Two more weeks for rehab and strength building and then, EASports, here I come!
