My oh my...

Apr 07, 2015

Well, like most people in the cyber world, I have failed to update and of course a whole 3 months have gone by. Nothing really has been going on.

I have completed my third weight management appointment with my PCP. And very surprisingly I have gained 10 lbs.!!!! Well not ten but close enough. I stopped buying food from the café across the hall and stopping at Starbucks and McDonalds and I went and bought foods that I would prepare at home and eat throughout the week. Well this kind of backfired because all of the nutrigrain bars, and the granola bars, and the almonds, and the multigrain bread I used to make those sandwiches all added weight! I even bought yogurt because it was on sale (20 for $10). I was told to cut the carbs, replace one meal with a protein shake, and if I am going to eat yogurt, to eat the purple cup of dannon lite and fit.

 This month I am supposed to complete my fourth and so I thought I would give my bariatric team a call and see what all I needed to prepare for.

They told me that I could go ahead and schedule my one-on-one diet appointment. This is where I learn all about the bariatric diet. At first I was confused because I thought that I had to do both a group session and a one on one. They gave me a number to someone who would be able to help me with that. And so I will be going in June. I also made an appointment to have the psych evaluation. I made that one for July. They ordered my lab work to be done in June.

I am getting nervous and excited. I know that I wasn’t supposed to tell people. But that is not like me. I haven’t told everyone. Only those who needed to know. Those who would really be supportive. I did have to tell my boss. I wanted her to know that my frequent requests were because of an upcoming surgery. My boyfriend is being really really supportive. I asked my aunt if I could stay at her house to recover. She said that I could. I know she will take good care of me.

Well I will come back and start updating after all of my appointments. I follow most of you on youtube.
