First Steps

Oct 18, 2010

It's getting real now.  I am taking the first steps to the final goal.  I have an appt today with the gastro dr so I can set the date for my upper GI.  I have a physical tomorrow and will get the blood work done.

I also set two goals for myself.  I stopped all caffeine so hopefully by surgery I will not feel the craving.  From what I have read, caffeine inhibits or quickly removes some essential nutrients or vitamins, especially B12.  I have also recognized that being in my car is a trigger for eating or having a coke.  My second goal is to no longer eat or drink while in the car, unless it is water.  Even that I am trying to limit just because it seems to fuel that same trigger to want to have something.  Day One down with success...and isn't that what it is about?  One day at a time.
