Nutrition Appointment #2 and new DX

Jan 11, 2013

Howdy ya'll!  So I went to my second nutritionist appointment on Monday.  At visit #1 I was 279 and told insurance likes to see you either stay the same or lose...DO NOT GAIN.  Well, I hopped on the scale feeling confident that I didn't gain (thanks to the flu and pneumonia!) and 280 popped up.  My heart sank.  Well the lovely nutritionist jotted down 278 and said, "Well, minus 2 for clothes".  lol  I'm so very thankful but so disappointed in myself.  Our meeting only lasted about 15 mins as we very quickly went through our handout.  This weeks lessen was limit carbs and sugars.  

I have been very conscious of all the carbs and sugar in stuff the past couple weeks.  I even tracked on MFP a few days and low carb is so much harder than it sounds.  I love all things protein but alot of stuff with a good amount of protein has double the carbs which is frustrating.  So I'm just going to work harder over the next few weeks and get serious.  I'm a bottomless pit though lately which isn't helping me out any but whether I want to eat everything in sight or not I just need to be strong and have some control.  I'm actually just so ready for the pre-op liquid diet.  I need someone to tell me what to eat and when.  However I know that I'm not going to have a strict diet and monitoring the rest of my life so I just need to work this out.  Mainly, I'm just scared that I'm going to fail at this but I'm trying to stay positive!  I can do it and I will!  

Oh, and I got results back yesterday that I am pre-diabetic.  My PCP knows about and is supporting my surgery so she said right now she just wants to me to try and control it with diet and exercise.  If I wasn't planning on the surgery we would do meds but she's confident that after surgery my glucose levels will stabilize.  Lets hope so!
