Apppointment with Surgeon Tomorrow!!

Oct 11, 2010

Time is a funny thing. It seems like forever since i started this journey, but at the same time, its moving so quickly.

My appointment with the surgeon is tomorrow, at HRRH (Dr. Hyunh). I know I'm a good candidate for surgery, i meet the requirements (BMI high enough that i don't 'need' the comorbidities to qualify). I've had laparascopic surgery before, and tolerated that quite well.

I'm a bit nervous that i wont meet the 'behavioural' considerations, which will come into play later, when i meet the dietician and the SW. I need to work on my eating habits. These are the things i'm going to work on.

1. Chewing.
2. taking smaller bites.
3. Being conscious when i eat
4. Not drinking while i eat.
5. recording my intake.
6. getting in at least 2 litres of H2O a day.
7. starting meals with protein
8. sipping rather than gulping.
9. eating slowly.
10. reducing/eliminating sugar

Procrastination and perfectionism are two of my hurdles. I put off writing down what i was eating today, until i found the 'right' book to do it in. (has to be small enough to carry around, but big enough to fit a days worth in).
I want to reward myself for doing 'mostly ok' rather than thinking i need to be perfect. I need to find the balance between being disciplined and not being too hard on myself.


onwards and downwards. lol
