On my way ....

Aug 19, 2011

 Wow !!! The last month has been a whirl wind of doctor appointments ! I had my initial visit at the Bariatric Clinic , blood work ,EKG,  psychological exam , GYN exam , meeting with the nutritionist and met with my case coordinator ! Phew I am ready for a week or two with out being poked 

So I started the lean and green diet last Friday and had my first weigh- in today . I was sooooo nervous !  I knew I had lost a good amount when I weighed myself in the morning at home. However at weigh- in you are wearing clothes that add at least 2 lbs to your weight. In all honesty I was ready to beg  the nurse if I could weigh- in , in  my underwear and bra. Anyways ,when i was called in I asked the nurse if I could take off my shoes( at least that would help a little bit ) . She said oh yea take off your jewlery and take everything out of your pockets , just please keep your clothes on ! Hmmm , I wonder if she could read my mind? LOL

Oh yea , I lost 7.2 lbs this week !!!!! This means that I only need to lose 6.3 lbs more before I am at my 5 % and I can schedule my surgery . I am trying not to get to excited just incase it takes me a while to lose the 6.3 or my insurance company says no. But I can't help it , I am wicked excited and I think that is what keeps me motivated !
