Thursday was a very good day.

Jul 18, 2010

The appointments I had with my dietitian and surgeon on Thursday went very well. First of all...I had lost an additional 5 pounds and am at 10.2 lbs lost prior to surgery. I really, really like Dr. Pierce -- his passion for the work he does, the respect he has for the human body and the miraculous way it functions, and his obvious desire to be the best surgeon possible. He very patiently and thoroughly went through all of the questions on my list and answered them all very much to my satisfaction. The dietitian went through the changes that I have already been trying to incorporate and reassured me that the team at the clinic would be there for me not just immediately after surgery, but ALWAYS, whenever I have questions or concerns. I should be on track with my hoped-for end of August surgery date.

And...I think that I have my perfect "before" pictures. On Friday, some friends took me to a dinner/show in downtown Minneapolis. The performer called me on stage to "celebrate" my birthday in front of the entire audience. And, my friend "nicely" videod the entire thing and put it up on YouTube. I watched the first few seconds and thought, "Oh, honey, you're going to be so much happier after you've had surgery and lost this weight." It did not feel good to see myself up there...and knowing that I've recently LOST 10 pounds didn't make it any better.
