Catching Up

This last month has been a crazy busy.At the end of April I finally met my surgeon. He is very nice, professional & straight to the point.
I also learned something new about myself.
I am shorter than I thought I was.
4'11.3"
Start rant: How is that possible???
Where did the rest of me go?
I feel like I have been living a lie.
I have always thought I was 5'1" : End rant
Told ya...this is a friggin' big deal to me.
My BMI was 46.9 (grumble, grumble friggin' height), and I was 232 at that appointment.
He wants me to lose 12lbs. which is 10% of my excess weight.
I am on a 3 month supervised diet with my surgeon as my insurance BCBS of IL HMO has no criteria for me! Big YAY!
My surgeon did not have a goal weight for me, but I asked him what he thought of 110lbs. He said it was realistic for me.
I have seen my NUT and plan on doing my 4 visits with her. #2 is next Tuesday. My last visit /weight-in will be in July!
Had my sleep study 2 weeks ago and do have sleep apnea, though mild (sleeping on my side) and severe while sleeping on my back. I go for my sleep study #2 for titration on the 28th.
I have my Psych appointment next Thursday. Cannot wait for it to be done with. Nervous!!!
After that I have nothing till the end of next month (weight in).
I have already lost 5 lbs. since I saw my surgeon. Just watching what I eat (smaller portions) and trying to exercise more.
