Well, I had my first appointment Friday and I think I am excited now. Dr Lowe wants me to lose 20 on my own before the surgery (believe it not, scales showed me down 6.4lbs already this morning....I am skeptical?????? LOL) which shouldn't be too hard. He is concerned that I have had blood clots in the past so I have to go for an ultrasound of both legs on Wednesday. He said I will be on blood thinning shots after my surgery since I am at greater risk of getting one due to having them in the past. I am a little disappointed because I thought I was seeing the nutritionist on Friday too, but have to wait until 3/25. I feel a little lost not knowing exactly the things I should be eating so if anyone can share ideas and recipes, they would be greatly appreciated. Dr Lowe said no soft drinks at all, even diet, with has not been bad. I found a couple new flavors of Crystal Light that I had not tried before and I like them so that helps. Now I am just looking for a good used treadmill. I am trying to talk my sister into selling me hers since she does not use it, but I don't think that is gonna happen....have to know her!!! Well anyway, I have rambled enough. If anyone comes across one, please let me know. Take care and good luck to everyone!!!!
