Too long since last update
Nov 19, 2012
Well...Let's see what has happened since the last update. I had my first supervised diet at the end of October. I had my one-on-one the beginning of November. My Second supervised diet last week. Finally today i just had my meeting with my doctor. He wants me to have a whole list of things....Now i am just typing these off his list...LTR to PCP, Psych eval, Nutritional Eval, US GB, ABG's, Bedside PFT's, Lipid Profile..THose are just the standards that have to be done. He also requested Cardiac Eval, Pulmonary Eval, Thyroid Profile, UGI, Plus a Sleep Study. I just scheduled my sleep study for January 2, 2013. I already have a rough draft to my PCP, I just spoke with my Psychologist last week and he said that he believes that I am very well prepared and I know the risks and results and he would be happy to write a letter for me and just need to call and let the nurses know. My Nutritional Eval Is already completed. I am not sure what some of the other things that I will need to complete are with all these acronyms they have here. LOL. I have a heart murmur that he wants checked out. I have also been diagnosed with Exercise asthma. I have been exercising recently but it is limited as i do get winded. I was keeping a food diary but since my oldest son moved out of the house unexpectedly, I have been a bit stressed and forget to eat. Yes I know that would be a good thing but then my body gives me signs that it wasn't a good move to forget to eat. Of course i need to start to find other ways to deal with my stress, but this is a learning process. I am only on month 2 of the supervised diet plan. So I do have some time to learn new things.
I did ask my nutritionist about eating baby food instead of pureeing foods, she said that isn't a good idea. I did get the OK from the Doc that i can still take my Ibuprofen after the surgery as long as i take the antacid first. So big YEA! I have tried Tylenol for my carpal tunnel but that doesn't work at easing the pain. I have been researching this for so long that I have a lot of questions already answered from either my family who had WLS or from the forums here. Everyone has been such a big help in answering all the newbie questions.
Well I must go. I need to complete my day at work then start the "MOM's TAXI Service" for my youngest for his practice. I have some goals that i need to fix and be more diligent in working on. Till next time
