Saw nutritionist

May 07, 2010

FINALLY got in to the nutritionist yesterday.  It went well.  Had trouble remembering what I normally eat, so I now have to keep a food journal.  I eat less when I do, but of course then am hungry and cranky the whole time.  She did say I can have as much in the way of fruit and veggies as I want.....so that is nice.  Will have to get back to Costco for some more raspberries!

Been trying to get into this adult wellness program that sounds like what insurance wants, but they won't pay for it!  And looks like it's $50-$60 for the first few visits.  My only other option is to see if I might have obesity hypoventilation syndrome.  If  I do, then I can get the same services under pulmonary rehab, which would be covered.  Don't know if I have that or not.  I'm out of breath a lot, but I just assumed it was because I'm overweight and that there was nothing that could be done about it other than losing weight.  When I'm sitting at the doctor's office my oxygen level is always really good (99 or 100), so not sure what it is when I'm walking around or doing something.

Anyway, at least I'm getting the nutritionist stuff done.  I go see her again the beginning of June.
