Day 7 of not eating carbs. I'm down to 247, so I've lost 11 pounds since Monday. My BMI hasn't gone down as much because I found out I'm shorter. But I'm still super excited. I still get cravings, and it's not easy, but I feel like I'm working towards a goal.

**wrote at the clinic this am**
So apparently I'm 5' 3 1/2". I thought I was 5'4". I'm still at my first visit, waiting for the internist to come in. Everything seems to be going well so far. The dietician said to stay below 30 carbs a day, but I'm already doing that. I have to start drinking more. I also finished my psych evaluation questionaire. Let's hope I did ok on that. Amanda (dietician) said that I'm on track to have surgery in 4-6 weeks. I hope everything works out with insurance and that they accept the diet history we wrote out today.
**later on**
My first visit went really well. I like that they group a lot of stuff together. Today I saw the nutritionist, exercise person, and the internist. We got a lot of things out of the way. I'm already on the carb diet, the exercise person (Billi) told me to work out 4 days a week for 30 minutes, and the internist said that everything looked good for me to go ahead with the surgery process. I scheduled 2 more appointments.
Sept. 12 - Nutrition Seminar
Sept. 14th - Psych evaluation with Dr. Cole, EKG, EGD, and other bloodwork.
Everything is going so smoothly. **Crosses fingers** I hope everything works out.

Today is day 3 of the low carb diet. I've been doing really well, exercising every day and trying to get everything in order with insurance and everything. It's crazy to think that I may be having surgery in a little over a month. I'm very excited. I keep looking at people's profiles online, describing their experiences and looknig at their before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people.
