One month down, five to go.

Aug 07, 2010

OK, so I had my orientation and my first visit with the Dr., well with the Dr. and everyone else in the office. I was told that because I don't have documented weight loss trials(weight watcher, jenny craig, etc.) that I will have to meet with their nutritionist for 6 months prior to the surgery, as my insurance requests. I'm still excited and afraid all at the same time. My second appointment with the nutritionist is scheduled for August 17, which is kind of fast. That will count as number two. So after that visit, I'll just have 4 more to go. That seems so fast already. They gave me a list of stuff I should be eating and stuff I should be limiting. Now, tell me if this is weird of not. I have found myself eating and drinking stuff I normally don't eat or drink because I know I won't be able to have it after surgery. For example, beef. I'm always saying I don't like to eat beef and I'm not a big beef eater,but it seems like since my visit with the Dr., that's all I have been eating. Plus soda, I probably have a soda probably once or twice a month, but I have been finding myself drinking soda about every other day. Is this weird, has anyone else experienced this, I would like to know. Other than that I'm fine, still trying to stay calm and tell myself this is the best decision for me, even though every one else questions it.
