Nut requirements are now met for ins, I will have one more post-op but for now Im done!!!, two more weigh-ins and months of exercising and we can submit to ins!!!! Im one more step closer to my goal!

I hope I never forget the behaviors that put me in this position, or how hard the journey has been, how very hard the dieting and testing has been, I am going to be a success story! I will refuse to go back to the eating habits that got me where I am today ,............... I hope I return to read this if I forget where I came from,  I am learning, also learning from others mistakes. I am moving forward, and I refuse to look back, or set myself up for failure.

sorry this was a little bit of a rant... I got pretty heated when someone ask how to binge with the sleeve????
I couldn't understand why after going through all of this you would want to.....most of what I put in my blogs is info for me to look back on after surgery.

     

well its been a busy week weigh-in Monday F/U with the cardiologist yesterday, and today 1on1 with the nutritionist. cardiac clearance is done every thing is fine,.....good to hear!... except he thinks I can do this on my own without surgery,  he was all hyped because Id lost 5 lbs since my last visit to him, he said anyone who can lose the weight does not need surgery. oh well I know I can loose the weight, its keeping it off I have trouble with. Good thing he doesn't have say on if I get ins approval. I know I need this and it will help, I just need a little help.

Nutritionist, was nice no problems there she thinks I'm doing everything they way I should, except she was concerned that I listed OH as part of my support team. she said there are a lot of neg things on here, I told her for every one neg thing on here there are at least 20 that are positive. I cant bury my head and pretend that complications don't happen, but it helps me to know that they can be fixed. everyone is different and that's ok, it helps me to hear of others experiences, and what they have learned along the way. I have NO intention of giving this up.......I love OH!!!!!

Well after a rocky start to this month I somehow managed to meet my goal, of losing 5 lbs I'm down 5.4 lbs, yeah can you believe it, it was sooo hard this month the exercising is really hard on my knees and back but I keep trying, usually manage to walk a mile at least 5 days a week but my knees are paying the price, but I now have another month down 2 more to go. I may make it after all!!

next... Wendsday appt with cardiologist for report, then NUT 1on1 Thursday.

weight loss goal for next month 5lbs.
