Dun-Dun-Dun!!!

Jan 24, 2009

Alright, so I went to the nutritionist yesterday and while I was there I was asked to step on a Tanita scale which provided an extremely detailed body composition analysis – weight, impedance, body fat %, body mass index, fat mass, fat-free mass and more. So as of yesterday my weight was 251.0, my body fat percentage was 49.5 (Yuck! I'm composed of fifty percent fat!), and I'm carrying approximately 123 pounds of pure fat on my body. LOL At least that's what I gathered from that whole mortifying experience.  Ugh!

So after stepping of the scale I followed Mrs. Kraft into her office where we began to analyze my daily eating habits and discussed changes that needed to be made both before and after WLS. All in all I believe that this is completely "do-able" and look forward to beginning my weight loss journey as soon as possible.

I've only got a couple of appointments left and then we'll submit my info. to Anthem Blue Cross for approval! Yikes. I am so nervous. I have studied and researched this procedure daily for the past few months and followed through with every request and requirement. I need this surgery. Cross your fingers and pray for me people. I need all the positive and encouraging energy I can get at this point!
