Happy Times Ahead

Jan 23, 2011

I guess this is where I begin my journey!  The last couple of weeks have become such an education for me.  Clicking into the OH website every evening has given me so much encouragement and so much information, it's just incredible!  Each and every individual here has information to share and I am learning so much from you all.  Thank you all very much!

I was approved for the Bariatric Surgery Program right after I submitted my information to Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA.  With the approval from the Insurance company, I began my drives to Pittsburgh once a month to meet with a nutritionist and turn in my food and activity logs.  I am on my third month and have made my first appointment with Dr. Eid for the surgery. 

Now I wear a pedometer every day to work, and log my steps.  I write down everything that I eat and I'm learning to "SLOW DOWN".  At first it was suggested to try eating with my left hand, but that didn't work, it just ended up in my lap.  All the years working in a fast paced environment definitely ruined my lunch time eating habits.  Oh well....live and learn!

So hear I am.  I enjoy all your posts and it has given me such a brighter outlook on my long road ahead!  "Live - Love - Laugh" and eat healthy!
